From Time Magazine: The End Of Cowboy Diplomacy: President George W. Bush came to office pledging to focus on domestic issues and pursue a “humble” foreign policy that would avoid the entanglements of the Bill Clinton years. After Sept. 11, however, the Bush team embarked on a different path, outlining a muscular, idealistic, and […]
Tom Delay hints that he may run again in Texas after trying to convince everyone that he is actually a Virginia resident. Whether he runs again or not, he is a remarkably arrogant guy. And more than that, he is the most blatantly unprincipled politician since Huey Long. He has no qualms that his Virginia […]
There’s an announcement of a terrorist plot on the Holland Tunnel – leaked by/to the Daily News. Then there are reports that this is old news, months old, and that the "leak" may be another political election year ploy. Is this a good leak [like Bush’s authorizing the NIE leak to discredit Joseph Wilson (or […]
The blogosphere has thrown itself into the campaign for Ned Lamont in Connecticut. I don’t know anything about Ned Lamont other than that, and that he opposes the war.

But she’s coming out spewing venom like a hermaphroditic Freddy Kreuger and throwing gasoline […]
The Court Hands Congress an Opportunity Score one strong point for the Main Stream Media! David S. Broder’s oped piece in the Washington Post today is a balanced and sensible assessment of the recent Supreme Court ruling: Once again the chief executive had to be reminded that he is not above the law. No more […]
“I’m not going to allow the sacrifice of 2,527 troops who have died in Iraq to be in vain by pulling out before the job is done.” says President Bush on July 4th. As I recall, the job was to neutralize Saddam Hussein’s threat as a nuclear power. That job was done before we ever […]
This hermaphroditic statue was unveiled in Memphis on July 4th – a monument to tastelessness rivalling Graceland’s shag carpets and sequinned leisure suits. My first reaction was that it was a target for North Korea’s missles or maybe Al Qaeda. But as offensive as it is, in some ways, it so concretizes the insane direction […]
