Getting ready to fool us twice

Here we go again: Iraq Déjà Vu: Cheney Pressuring Intel Analysts, Stifling Dissent, Manipulating Intelligence

A Heckuva Press Conference

Some days you just feel like phoning it in, and this is one of those days. On such days it’s nice to have something to write about that is so absurd, so monumentally outrageous, that it practically writes itself. I know, you’re probably saying that’s been the case since January 20, 2001, but some days […]

Bush prepares to go out Cheney style

A few weeks ago I predicted we’d be hearing more about Bush’s plans to complete the destruction of the United States of America, starting with the environment, before he left office. I was hardly going out on a limb. Anyone could have predicted it. Today we get a glimpse of some more of the damage […]

Mr. 9/11 exposed

This is all over the net, but it needs to be widely seen, from a documentary by Robert Greenwald: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0E0wfShJ58&v3[/youtube] Surprisingly, Greenwald doesn’t mention that another reason Rudy put the command center near the World Trade Center was so he could have a comfortable place to commit GOP retroactively sanctioned adultery.

It all depends on your intent in using the word “intent”

Some folks just can’t catch a break. First, Larry Craig taps his foot in a restroom stall, and the next thing you know he’s announcing his intent to resign from the Senate. Almost no one noticed that he didn’t actually resign. After all, he wouldn’t be misleading us, would he? Well, yes he would. The […]

For the record

I can’t let the moment pass without saying a sincere “good riddance” to Alberto Gonzales. One more down, so many more to go.

Nice work if you can get it

I don’t know the precise hole into which Karl Rove will now crawl, but one candidate, at least as a sideline, is the scam in which Linda Chavez, Reagan’s (and Bush’s proposed) Hispanic conservative is currently engaged. According to the Washington Post, she and her equally loathsome husband run three PACs, which have soaked over […]

No more petitions-impeach.

I just got an email from Joe Courtney asking me to sign a petition calling for Alberto Gonzales to resign. If you’re interested in doing so, you can sign at this link. You can read the email here. Personally, I’m tired of empty gestures which, with all due respect to Joe, I consider this to […]

Lots of Republican dogs eat lots of ballots in Ohio

Just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. I have always been averse to conspiracy theories, though Lord knows I’ve been proven wrong in some cases. I remember back in the ’60s when people were accusing the CIA of all kinds of crazy things, and lo and behold, almost all […]

House votes contempt, but …

The House Judiciary Committee has voted to hold Harriet Miers and Joshua Bolton in contempt. The vote was along party lines. Yet more evidence that the system of checks and balances has been all but destroyed. One must wonder whether the White House has conveyed more than brilliant legal arguments to the House Republicans in […]
