Bush exposed again

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

There must be a backstory to all this. Sure, Bush lies all the time, but how often does the White House basically admit it: CNN reports: President Bush was told in August that Iran’s nuclear weapons program ‘may be suspended,’ the White House said Wednesday, which seemingly contradicts the account of the meeting given by […]

An unpredictable wrinkle in Iowa

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

1% more Conscious has an interesting post on something of which I was unaware. Iowa caucus goers vote their top two choices.

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

When I tried to log on to my site today, I was not allowed to enter, on the grounds that I had been identified by my spam catching plug-in (Bad Behavior) as a person who had engaged in malicious behavior on the site. This seemed rather unkind, since after all it is my website. Technically, […]

The article specifically mentions Kansan Nancy Boyda, […]

Solidarity

Tuesday, December 4, 2007

Many of my readers are probably wondering: Why has the writing on this blog sucked so much lately? How is it possible that it could have gotten any worse than the lows to which it habitually descends? There is a perfectly logical explanations for the wretched prose I have spewed forth of late.

No WMDs in Iran

Monday, December 3, 2007

A lot of very unsurprising things have been revealed lately. A few days ago I noted that Bush and al-Maliki had all but sealed a sweetheart deal that, in the case of Bush, helped his cronies tremendously, and in the case of al-Maliki, promised to preserve his power, all to the detriment of their respective […]
