Someone Tell the President the War is Over:
…In an interview with Tim Russert early last year, Mr. Bush said, “The thing about the Vietnam War that troubles me, as I look back, was it was a political war,” adding that the “essential” lesson he learned from Vietnam was to not have “politicians making military decisions.” […]

I’m outraged over the House of Representatives’ passage of both CAFTA and the energy bill in the past week.
First, CAFTA. The final vote was 217-215. The first vote, 47 min. before that was 180-175. In that 47 minutes, pro-CAFTA Republican lawmakers scrambled around the floor and out in the hallways to bribe other Reps over […]

This post, at a recently discovered, terrific blog, really touched me today: The Worst Day.
I haven’t blogged much about politics this year because 1) it seems there are a zillion other blogs that write about political issues each day better than I could, and 2) my disgust at this administration and the world’s power elite […]

Entry long time coming…
Part I:
President Bush has been briefed on the end of cheap oil… have you?
We will soon start seeing ads put out by Chevron for its new campaign: Will You Join Us. Rather than advertising some new “high-performing” gasoline, this campaign is a public admission of the end of cheap oil and a […]

There’s been so much great stuff written around blogdom on the Terri Schiavo situation. It’s really too bad she did not make her wishes known a long time ago, but like the vast majority of Americans, I too am not at all fooled by the sickening political opportunism of Republican Congresspeople. Bush rushes back […]

Ahh, such a pleasure to wake up on a Sunday morning to quotes like this from the country’s fearless leader:
President Bush said the public’s decision to reelect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning […]
