Hilariously funny. Don’t give up, the good part’s toward the end.

Grammar issue

Sunday, August 24, 2008

This morning’s Doonesbury makes note of a phenomenon that, upon reflection, I think is quite real. Why is it that just about everyone who makes reference to Bush’s last place finish puts periods in the phrase “Worst president ever”? We all do it and we all understand why, even if we can’t articulate it completely. […]

Impeach him now

Friday, August 15, 2008

We have had no access to the net, and we haven’t read the papers much, since we got her to VT. A couple of days ago we gathered from the front page of a newspaper that Bush was planning on sending troops to Georgia. It seems we have critical interests there, as we do in […]

Yawn! Another impeachable offense. I’ve lost count

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Is anyone surprised at the news that Bush told the CIA to forge a letter linking Saddam to Al Qaeda? I’d be more suprised if someone had established as fact that he hadn’t done it.

Book report

Sunday, July 6, 2008

I marked a birthday recently (too old to celebrate) and my son gave me a copy of Takeover, The Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Subversion of American Democracy, by Charlie Savage. I just finished reading it. I found this book to be a bit of a tough slog. It’s a little bit like […]

Bush Legacy Tour coming to a town near you.

Thursday, July 3, 2008

I hadn’t heard of this before. The following announcement arrived in my email today: Washington D.C. – In what supporters of the President have dubbed his “legacy year,” Americans United for Change, the progressive issue-advocacy group best known for leading the successful fight to beat back President Bush’s effort to privatize Social Security in 2005, […]

Confirming the obvious

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

The inspector general at the justice department has just confirmed an open (not-so) secret. The Justice Department has been consciously seeking to stock the civil service ranks in the justice department with conservative lawyers, without much regard to credentials, such as intelligence or legal ability. High-ranking political appointees at the Justice Department labored to stock […]

Sign the Declaration

Monday, June 9, 2008

Just got home from the Charter Revision Commission. We’re in the homestretch. Not much time to write, but I did want to pass this along. A friend from the West Coast sent me an email about an ad the Bill of Rights Defense Committee wants to run in the Times on the Fourth of July. […]
