Surprise! BushCo Waters Down More Science

Filed in Uncategorized by on July 11, 2007 3 Comments

Once the people exposed to the inside of the BushCo Machine get out, they really do expose it for what it is. Case in point: the former Surgeon General. I just love this part: Dr. Carmona said he was ordered to mention President Bush three times on every page of his speeches. Read the whole […]

Filed in Uncategorized by on July 6, 2007 14 Comments

A few months ago Dave Burris did a post about how much his blog was worth and he made some references to it’s superior value to our humble blog. Well, like the ideas over there, Dave hasn’t updated the little graphic. The new value of FSP is $22,017.06 (up from $20,323.44).  DelawareLiberal has soared from […]

Today was the protest against Mike Castles’ empowerment of Goerge Bush and his foolhardy escapade in Iraq.  There were between 30 and 40 people in attendance including me on my lunch break and Nancy Willing.  Michael Berg was there and I assume that Kavips was there, but stayed incognito.  The best part was when Castle […]

Around the Horn Friday: Dave Burris’ Huge Head Edition

Filed in Uncategorized by on July 6, 2007 5 Comments

At the end of March, I had to praise Dave Burris for his well placed call-to-arms to force Atkins resignation. I only recently started feeling clean again. But in my ATHF that week, I had to call for an end of the praise. It is that time again. Dave (along with a good deal of […]

I Wish I Was Joking

George Bush, obviously believing that his approval rating couldn’t get any lower, has commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby. I am disgusted. I guess we will never figure out what his new prison name would have been.

Australia Planning Iraq Withdrawal

Filed in Uncategorized by on July 1, 2007 2 Comments

There is a story coming out of Australia that John Howard is planning to pull Aussie troops out of Iraq in February.  I find this significant, as Howard has been not just a tagalong on this war, but quite aggressive.  There have been other high-profile withdrawals (Spain, Italy) but they have mostly been after an […]

Our beloved elected officials are putting the finishing touches on all of the laws that will screw us up for years to come. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it. Speaking of tough jobs, Kavips takes on a roundup of the bills pending for the last minute push of the legislative agenda. […]

Thanks to one of my favorite commenters, Von Cracker, for the link to this Digby piece.  There are so many of these guys in the process here.  Some of these guys have no sense of history or what America really stands for.

Our Word for the Day Is…

Subpoena. Today Dick Cheney and the White house were issued subpoenas directing them to turn over documentation the the illegal wiretapping program. Please don’t be stupid and say that they were not illegal. If the reports are correct, the actions are illegal. The White House has never denied that this program existed as described. The […]

Big shout out to Jason for doing ATHF last week. I had a birthday party for my son that kept me from having access for a long period of time. The good news is that it was indoctrination quality time for us. And now on to the news… Oh my, the Oberle story in the […]
