Mr. 9/11 is having a tough few days

Thursday, November 29, 2007

Looks like Mr. 9/11 is in for some stormy weather. Even the New York Times covered the story about Rudy paying the security costs for his Long Island adulterous trysts out of the budgets of obscure city agencies. (It should be pointed out, however, that the Times obligingly buried the story in the back pages […]

Reagan, Republicans and race

Sunday, November 18, 2007

Over the course of the last few weeks Paul Krugman and David Brooks, both columnists for the New York Times, have been trading blows about Ronald Reagan. The general charge is that Reagan made coded appeals to white racism as part of his campaign strategy, consistent with the overall Republican electoral stategy since 1968. The […]

A Heckuva Press Conference

Friday, October 26, 2007

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

Sunday, September 9, 2007

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

Friday, September 7, 2007

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”

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

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

Monday, August 27, 2007

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

Monday, August 13, 2007

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.

Tuesday, July 31, 2007

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 […]
