who is this guy?

Why does Jack Abramoff have that pained look on his face in every picture? Does he buy poorly fitting underwear? have a rock in his shoe? maybe a Job complex? And who picked out that orange tie? More intriguing than his sad face, what was he thinking he was doing? What did he have in […]

look left…

… at the casualty counter in the sidebar. It said 2177 killed when I put it up at the first of the year…

I was chasing down a few links and ended up on a right wing blog called powerline. One of the ads on the sidebar looked like this:   It was a link to a site sponsored by Progress for America called judgealito.com Why did I even click on it? I asked myself. I think it […]

DeLay Resigns as Majority Leader It’s actually worth taking the time to read about Tom Delay. He’s a lot like George W. Bush. There’s almost nothing in his background that suggests that he’s the kind of person one might want to serve in the Congress. He was a sleazy, drunk college student, a sleazy businessman, […]

whistle, whistle…

Report Rebuts Bush on Spying Domestic Action’s Legality Challenged Beyond the fact that Bush’s N.S.A. program violates the endlessly debated and very clear F.I.S.A. regulations, there lurks on the edges of our minds the thought that this surveillance does not have the lofty motives described in each of Mr. Bush’s defenses. Almost every article implies […]

It is A Question of Doing What’s Right, like in the post from Reddhedd on Firedoglake. She apparently grew up in the coal mining areas of West Virginia that were so hard-hit by the recent mining accident. I didn’t. I was raised way south of there in Tennessee. But more than the geographic distance, it […]

huh?

Well, I’m not gone yet. I just saw Chris Matthews on Good Morning America. He was explaining things – how things are. See, the country is deeply divided, and George Bush’s current program is to show he’s vulnerable to hear both sides. Bush is showing, according to Matthews, that it’s the war dividing America, not […]

So, it’s up to the rest of you next week. I’m heading south for a vacation from retirement. There’s no Internet where I’m going. I understand that the withdrawal symptoms are pretty tough. I’ve read all the Hillermans, but there are still some Nevada Barrs that I haven’t cracked. I’ve got a program I’m working […]

Feith again….

This is one story that doesn’t need to be dropped! Raw Story is reporting that the Office of Special Plans under Douglas Feith sent a Unit to Iraq to invent some WMds for us to find to cover the President’s prewar claims. No wonder the Pentagon won’t release any information about the O.S.P. to Congress, […]
