Did you know….
I hate correcting my own kind, but when I read delaware’s not hottest blogger pose this question
How is this different from Iran saying that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth?.
I couldn’t help myself anymore. It is one thing for some commonsense moron to say this, but my own student is [...]
and now a word from your pResident
where do you start with the outright lies on this one?
4/22/2008
Mr. President. Oil prices today rose above $118 a barrel. It’s another record. Are Saudi Arabia and other oil producers — are they our adversaries, or have you had any success with your recent appeals with them? And also, the effect of the gasoline prices, [...]
and now a word from your pResident
“‘In a world where some invoke the name of God to justify acts of terror and murder and hate, we need your message that God is love,’ Bush said. ‘In a world where some treat life as something to be debased and discarded, we need your message that all human life is sacred. . . [...]

My letter to Frank Rich.
I love reading Frank Rich on Sunday’s The guy is a great writer. So when he wrote this yesterday:
It’s not just torture we want to avoid. Most Americans don’t want to hear, see or feel anything about Iraq, whether they support the war or oppose it. They want to look away, period, and have been [...]
The American People are stupid if
They believed anything Bush said yesterday about “troop withdrawals” and Iraq not being an “endless war”
Once again the only person calling the schmuck out is Olbermann
” Last year he escalated the war in Iraq, today he announced that there would be deescalation beyond July, yet somehow stood there with a straight face and lied about [...]
hmmmmm, I’m not lawyer but
If the Bush Administration suspended the 4th Ammendment after 9/11 for a few couple teensy weensy hundred days or a year or so
annnnnnddddddddd The Attorney General Says:
Under sharp questioning from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) at an Appropriations Committee hearing, Mukasey said that the “Fourth Amendment applies across the board, regardless of whether we’re in wartime [...]
How Does That Work?
The Electronic Freedom Foundation has noticed that a footnote in a John Yoo memo that stated that the Justice Department had recently decided that the 4th amendment didn’t apply to military operations within the United States with regard to terrorism. For those of you that forget what the 4th amendment says:
The right of the [...]
A Fitting Tribute To Our pResident
One of our readers, Fred, just forwarded me a website that aims to pay a fitting tribute to George W Bush. His Dad has an Airport named after him, as does Reagan. In San Francisco, there is a movement afoot to name the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility the George W Bush Sewage Plant. It is [...]

Von Cracker on the hunt
This should pretty much make you sick. It really lends itself to the LIHOP Conspiracy. Jason, dust off that hat!
UPDATED x5: Mukasey’s referenced pre-9/11 call in speech NOT IN 9/11 REPORT!
Wed Apr 02, 2008 at 01:04:33 PM PDT
Attorney General Michael Mukasey’s trip to San Jose to speak to telecom leaders last week seems to [...]
“WE DON’T TORTURE. PERIOD”
While reading this, please keep in mind that Mike Castle has supported the President 100% on this subject. Also, don’t forget that I believe Carper signed off on eliminating Habeaus Corpus too which ties directly into this.
Couric asked Mr. Bush if this is a tacit acknowledgement that the way these detainees were handled was wrong. [...]
Question of the day
If I think my 15 y/o daughter is smoking but I’m not sure of it can I use enhanced interrogation tactics on her and her friends to find out?
My arguement is yes because:
1. It is a matter of life and death
2. It is illegal
3. she is a minor and a ward of my house
4. It isn’t [...]
Trickle down economics works
I had to turn off ABC’s Extremely sad Home Make Over last night. It makes me angry to think that in this state, in this city which I work, people are that destitute. A 70 year old woman sleeps downstairs with plastic sheets hanging over hallways to keep the cold out. Sad, pathetic and all [...]

So my Veterans Day post caused an uproar. I want to know how pissed you are that Cheney said this
Just to refresh your memories people. I had a post a few months ago you can see it here
Well Basically I implied or at least part of what I tried to convey was this is essentially the administrations line of belief that these boys and to some extent girls signed up for this. [...]
will this hurt or help him
Thoughts? I don’t know how this hurts him when it comes to independents. Personally, it is par for the course with Johnny. All hat and no cattle. When it comes down to it, he votes right in line with the party. Sort of like Chuck Hagel, Warner and the rest of the pathetic lot of [...]

and now a word from your pResident
I apologize if I have gotten away from this….
I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy.”

“The problem is the government cannot be trusted to enrich uranium because one, they’ve hidden [...]

This is Like Nixon’s Erased Tapes
Looks like the White House is now claiming that computer hard drives that may have contained the missing emails from 2003 to 2005 have been destroyed. If nothing else, these guys need to be brought up on charges of violating the executive records act.
What sort of shrill response would there have been if suddenly [...]
Maybe if they got better jobs they wouldn’t be poor
An analysis of government data by The Washington Post found that prices have risen 9.2 percent since 2006 for the groceries, gasoline, health care and other basics that a middle-income American family has little choice but to consume. That would cost such a family, which made $45,000 on average in 2006, an extra $972 per [...]

A donviti thought for the day
I am rethinking just how valuable a harvard MBA is and if it current economic conditions have devalued it at all….thoughts.
‘The problem is not at all insurmountable in the long run,’ Herbert Hoover, Oct. 6, 1930
Ready….one, 2 and a three give me a big WAAAAAAHHHH
h/t suburban guerrilla…..
For James E. Cayne, the firm’s chairman and former chief executive, holding on to his Bear stock was a point of pride, and he rarely, if ever, sold. A billionaire just over a year ago when Bear’s stock soared past $160, his 5.8 million shares are now worth about $28 million at Monday’s [...]
Mike Castle Supports Giving lawbreaking Phone Companies immunity and Torture…
But thank god there are less of him in our country and more people with spines. Barely though…
The House Dem leadership’s surveillance bill just cleared the House by a vote of 213-197 with 1 vote of present. 12 Dems crossed the aisle to vote against it.
The bill has stricter privacy safeguards than the Senate’s [...]
More of the same…
President Bush called on the House of Representatives today to renew a surveillance law that expired this month and to protect telecommunications companies from lawsuits, saying it was “not fair” to allow the firms to be sued for cooperating with the federal government’s efforts to monitor terrorist suspects.
OHHHHHH, so I see, it’s not fair because [...]
Carper = Spineless Fu@@ers!
Well it’s nice to know how Tom Carper feel about immunity. I can’t think of a better word to describe him other than spineless. The government asks the Phone Companies to break the law and spy on us, they do, subsequently they are breaking the law.
Well I guess the way Carper sees it, that’s ok. [...]
We won’t extend unemployment benefits but we will
Extend mortgage lifelines for a few of our closest buddies in the bizz baby.
The plan, called Project Lifeline, will be announced Tuesday by the Treasury Department and the Department of Housing and Urban Development,
The participants are Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Countrywide Financial Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Washington Mutual Inc. and Wells Fargo & [...]
Signing Statement Shows Ulterior Motives
I have always thought that part of the reason for Iraq was the desire to put military bases there to secure access to the oil resources there. Bush issued a signing statement today that lends credence to this possibility. This falls in line with The Project for the New American Century (or NAMBLA) goals of [...]
