Hmmm, me thinks this could be a problem for McSame
In Arizona, Mr. McCain has helped Mr. Diamond with matters as small as forwarding a complaint in a regulatory skirmish over the endangered pygmy owl, and as large as introducing legislation remapping public lands. In 1991 and 1994, Mr. McCain sponsored two laws sought by Mr. Diamond that resulted in providing him millions of dollars [...]

OH MY GOD! HOW LOW WILL SHE GO…
New Hillary Ad Shows Bin Laden, Asks: “Who Do You Think Has What It Takes?”
By Greg Sargent – April 21, 2008, 11:19AM
Hillary’s up with a new, last minute spot in Pennsylvania designed to swing the late-breaking undecideds — and it includes a brief appearance by none other than Osama Bin Laden.
Though there’s no mention of [...]
If you haven’t read this…you really should
Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found. The effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, [...]

Do quotes like this scare you?
“You can’t really repair anything that is broken until you establish security,” said Lt. Col. Dan Barnett, commander of the First Squadron, Second Stryker Cavalry Regiment. “A wall that isolates those who would continue to attack the Iraqi Army and coalition forces can create security conditions that they can go in and rebuild.”
I guess coming [...]
Comment Rescue donviti style
I like mixing it up with Giovanni Feroce. He is the italian meatball to my spaghetti. It is fun to get him all worked up then pick him apart when he makes stupid typical GOP statements. But, fret not Giovanni, I am not picking on you, merely using you as an example of all GOP [...]

Remember Ms “Where is your lapel flag pin?” McCabe?
Hmmmmm, gee amazing what you find when you dig
Read the article and if the word bitter doesn’t come to mind with this lady then I don’t know what does. More importantly, ABC tracked her down after she was featured in the NYTimes. Ladies and Gentleman, your MSM Liberal Media
Free Market BABY….YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAWWWWW
Awesome!
So if I read this right. I should be able to claim taxes against my income from 2004…again. SWEET!
In the Senate bill, the nation’s biggest home builders, some now on the verge of bankruptcy, won a provision that would let them claim millions in tax refunds by charging their current losses against the huge profits [...]
Can you say Autism?
Yes, we have that nice little widget over there that is getting a little attention these days. I personally thank everyone who has donated and wish everyone luck on the upcoming walk. The next little post has very little to do with Autism, but if you know anything about Autism, then you also know very [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Have you seen the Obama Commercial where he states he doesn’t take money from Oil Companies?
Well, it’s pretty crappy add now that I understand the law. Obama can’t take money from oil companies directly because the freaking law says so and has for 100 years. He takes it from the Oil Companies employees though and their spouses.
I saw it Monday and was like wow that’s pretty cool of him…until [...]
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 [...]
A Plan For Electoral Victory
I heard an interview with Ed Rendell on Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me about the need for Democrat unity. Here is what he told a group of people in Florida: Whatever happens with the Democratic nomination, roughly half of the Democrats will be disappointed. After the nominee is determine (whenever that is) the other supporters [...]

Today’s Question
typically my questions generate a myriad of answers. However, for today, I would like honest feedback. Please if you are a reader that typically reads and doesn’t comment add your two cents. It wont be any worse than what Grex or FSP usually add to the mix.
SOOOOOOO, here goes:
When Obama wins the nomination how is [...]
Mat Marshall’s After-School Job
OK, I love Mat Marshall. He is a hell of a blogger, a hell of a mind and quite a precocious young man. I regret not catching him at the Obama victory party. I read his coverage of the Obama Rally laughing out loud and wanted to hug his Mom, Dominique for [...]

What a great idea! Clinton is right on point with this one!
The above headline comes from the idiot executives at companies like Countrywide, Bear Sterns and any of the other hundred or so subprime lenders that feasted on ignorant victims. Why are they rejoicing you ask? Because of this:
The New York senator proposed greater protections for lenders from possible lawsuits by investors, a variation of so-called [...]
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.”

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 [...]

Mike Castle Called me! Donviti!
So, Mr. Torture himself has asked me over for dinner. All the way in freaking Middletown. I’m not sure why he called it a town hall meeting though? The message on my answering machine invited me to come out and ask questions. It’s this Thursday. Who wants to go with me? I need a hot [...]

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
Dorian Gray Guest Post
This is more essay than blog post but it is a fine analysis, I think. It expounds on a similar point I was making this morning. Adult relationships are very complicated. There is no consistent, homogeneous path or clique or political party we can truly resign ourselves to. Why do we expect this from our [...]
