Filed in Uncategorized by on March 23, 2007 9 Comments

For all of those people that have been yelping that the Dems have done nothing about the war, you may now sit down and shut up.  While it has very little chance to actually be enacted, we have done something.  We have put a stake in the ground to tell the American people that we […]

It’s all in the Interpretation (or Why Liberalgeek Suddenly Disappeared)

Filed in Uncategorized by on March 23, 2007 5 Comments

I just read that some scientists have recently “proven” that mathematically, vampires can not exist.  Their theory is that since vampires feed on people and then turn them into vampires, the laws of mathematics would mean that essentially, we would all be vampires.  Basically, if Dick Cheney bit one person per month, the next month […]

Around the Horn Friday: Bedtime for Gonzo Edition

Filed in Uncategorized by on March 23, 2007 21 Comments

It has been a week of sad anniversaries, political intrigue and Dick Cathcart giving John Atkins a safe ride home. In addition, I have cleaned up the blogroll a little, as promised. If anyone is unhappy with their placement, let me know. I am not tied to the classification of any of them, except Hube, […]

Joe Barton (R-Denial) and Al Gore sparred in Congressional hearings yesterday. Al got the better of him. It wasn’t really fair, it was a battle of wits and Barton was unarmed. But Barton was so sure that he knew all he needed to know about Global Warming so he read the newspaper during a part […]

As you may have seen, we are looking at a showdown in Congress this week. Looks like the Democrats are ready to subpoena some senior Bush officials. Yesterday Fox News’ Tony Snow said that the administration will oppose these subpoenas.  The Congressional Research Service did a report on times when Presidential advisors were called to […]

DelawareLiberal Job Search

Filed in Uncategorized by on March 21, 2007 2 Comments

I hate to put a good mind to waste.  It looks like Alberto Gonzales will be out of a job soon (I am betting on Friday, but Tuesday would make a nice birthday present).  I was thinking that given the incredible creativity of the Delaware Liberal readers and the connections that Gonzo has, we should […]

Many have pulled out already. Many nations have had a change in leadership based on their support of Bush, Cheney and […]

This is just too much. The Israeli Ambassador to El Salvador has been recalled due to the following situation: Haaretz website reports that police found Mr Refael in the Israeli embassy compound where he had been found bound, gagged and naked apart from sado-masochistic sex accessories.

Stricken from the Record

Filed in Uncategorized by on March 17, 2007 3 Comments

Since 2001, over a million records in the National Archives have been hidden from view, due to fear of terrorists.  Here is a fun quiz to see what sorts of things have been removed.  Some of the documents were available for 100 years.  I just find this silly…
