Last month, we took a jaunt to New Orleans for our 40th wedding anniversary [it’s where we went on our honeymoon]. It was combined with a drive down the Mississippi Coast [see a photojournal of our trip on 3oldmen.com]. As we listen to Bush’s pre-November hot air speeches, don’t forget his abysmal showing this time […]
You’ve probably heard that Ralph Reed, hypocrite of the century, is running for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia, and is neck and neck with his Republican adversary, State Sen. Casey Cagle. All of that is what makes the national news. But if you live in Georgia, you need to know that one of the Democratic contenders […]
Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have been up to no good in an attempt to fraud the Supreme Court on the Hamdan decision. It’s really one that only lawyers will understand totally – but it involves inserting bogus dialogue in the Congressional record – then acting as if […]

He’s just not my kind of Democrat, and frankly strikes me as having more pro-Israel feelings than pro-American. He’s a part of several Groups that I consider Right Wing Hawk organizations, The […]
Did Lieberman Ad Use A Fake Lamont Bumper Sticker? The answer, by the way is "yes, Lieberman used a fake bumper sticker in his ad." Here’s the real one before being photoshopped:
Trapped in the Wrong Paradigm: Three Handy Rules This post by Arthur on Crooks and Liars is a common sense distillation of the kind of post I’ve tried to write about logical fallacies. Arthur gives a set of simple rules when arguing with the rhetoric of the Administration and its supporters. When you argue within […]
I’ve been so obsessed with the corruption in Congress, the continued skirting of the issue of the Niger Forgeries, Bush’s made-up war, and Dick Cheney’s drive towards Fascism that I’ve missed some really important stuff.
