I found this Press Statement absolutely infuriating – more than most. Who is this silly man to make an accusation that Gonzales “good name was dragged through the mud?” Alberto Gonzales has agreed to invent legal rationalizations for Presidential behavior that often verges on criminal. If there’s any such accusation to make, we are the […]
As long as Bush and Cheney remain in power, we’re still in harm’s way. They are blocked from doing much new damage, but they have enough power to prolong the War, and, of course, our main fear is that they’ll attack Iran. I don’t know what the right thing to do about Iran is. But […]
When you think about it, this is the most amazing set of pictures imaginable. Anyone who matters at the Justice Department has now resigned. Six or so months ago, the U.S. Attorney Plan became public, and now everyone involved is gone with the wind. George W. Bush is standing in front of a microphone red […]

The building is sponsored by Phoenix First Assembly, our […]
Overtrhowing Maliki? Is That a Democratic Value? Democratic Senators who are calling for the ouster of Iraqi’s Prime Minister are betraying their constituents and assuming responsibility for Bush’s failed war. From the LA Times: Like most of the problems the U.S. faces in Iraq, there is no solution to this one. Of course, the United […]
