Bush May Fight for New Attorney General President Seeks Agreement With Policies A half-dozen or so lawyers are being discussed among administration officials as possible candidates to replace Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, but no clear favorite has emerged, and President Bush is willing to fight for the right candidate, administration officials and Republican advisers […]
Bush Defends US Efforts in Iraq Two weeks before receiving a major assessment of the war in Iraq, President Bush gave a ringing defense of the war effort Tuesday in a speech that sounded like he’d already made up his mind to stay and fight. Bush hailed security gains, defended middling progress by Iraqi leaders […]
The other day, I was making an analogy to children’s games ["Let’s play like…"]. But I’ve been thinking, maybe we’re so jaded after six plus years of getting slammed that we can’t see the forest for the trees. Maybe what’s happening is what’s supposed to happen.

I expect he’s one of those homosexual men who grew up in a time when that was unacceptable in his world, so he developed a "split" life, like Pastor Ted – "good boy" by day, "naughty boy" by night. That’s […]
Bush: Fight against extremism is crucial On Tuesday, he plans to discuss the implications of the fight in Iraq for the broader Middle East, a global crossroads that has largely missed the democratic and economic advances seen in other parts of the world and is thus vulnerable to the rise of terrorism, said a senior […]
Apparently, the email was really from Ted Haggard [see Is the Ted Haggard Fundraising Letter for Real?] The part about working for the Deam Center is not true: That announcement came as a surprise to those in charge of the Dream Center, and Haggard will not be working or living there, said the Rev.
