Once again, we are reminded that the Iraq War was an exercise in stupidity that is unmatched in US history. It was engineered by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and the rest of the GOP, and this colossal screw up promises to resonate for decades to come. The latest reminder

Yes, of Course: George W. Bush Was the Worst President Ever
If you want to start a great, um, “conversation” with someone on the right, just say something that is brutally obvious and honest like… George W Bush was the worst president in United States history. That’s just my opinion, of course, and there may be a few historians who

Pro Left Insult Obama Every Chance They Get: Case Study #2: Huffington, Michael Moore
If you want to quibble with President Obama’s State of the Union address last night, feel free. This is a free country, after all, even if the right wing would like for everyone to be less free. But the speech was masterful for two reasons. First, it laid out a

Anybody Wanna Buy Our “Mansion”? Politifact Surrenders Its Credibility

Investigation and Due Process of the Bushies: Are we Americans or are We Mice?
I am excited at the prospects offered by the Obama Administration, and I am looking forward to a future that is much brighter than anything we've seen since we ceded the government to the neocons 28 years ago, culminating in the last eight years of pure hell on earth. The

Why the Bailout Plan Was Destined to Fail
A couple of months back, it seemed quite obvious that the economy was on the verge of collapse, and something drastic was necessary, immediately, to forestall an absolute disaster akin to the Great Depression. On this very blog, I recommended the bailout plan be passed, albeit with many restrictions, and

Cutting the Crap: Conservative, My Ass!
You know, I rarely agree with David Frum on anything, but much of his assessment of the McCain campaign in this morning's Washington Post hits the nail pretty much on the head. Here's an excerpt: There are many ways to lose a presidential election. John McCain is losing in a

Why McCain Was Always Going to Lose: Bye Bye Right Wing!
The Republican Party is truly screwed, and I think they’re just beginning to realize it. See, the one basic truism of politics is that every election cycle is different. It’s really not possible to compare 2008 with 2006, or 2004 to 2000, etc. I know, the pundits try, but

Failing to Bail
My feelings are so mixed after this bailout bill failed today. I read the bill last night, and again this morning, and I have to tell you; it was a pretty good bill. Instead of handing $700 billion over to the Bush Administration in a lump sum, it put the

Keep an Eagle Eye on Condi
There’s been a lot of press about the fact that the Bushies sent an envoy to Iran this week to begin talks regarding Iran’s nuclear program. Most of the press has been glowing, either praising the Bushies for finally holding talks with someone they don’t like, or pointing out, quite

Today’s Condi Moment
The current administration is nothing short of evil incarnate. I don’t know how else to say it. But then, look at its ideological base; the neocons. Neocons are to government what Streptococcus pyogenes is to human flesh. You see, their main premise is that government is incompetent to do anything,

Journalists Bought and Paid for With Your Tax Dollars
There is an excellent but ultimately very disturbing article in this morning’s New York Times which deserves a look. It demonstrates two things; it shows that the Bush Administration has been actively propagandizing to its very own people, which is disturbing enough. But it also demonstrates the extent to which
