US intelligence not certain NK has nuclear arms
So George is too lazy to do anything to negotiate with a guy who has said he hates the U.S.

Poll: Bush Ratings At All-Time Low
It's not just his own low. It's the all time low of any presidential poll. Ever. He's the lowest polling president in the history of presidents. Clinton, in the midst of his impeachment trial was polling in the mid-60s.

George supports the troops. No he doesn't. Not one bit.
Veterans May Face Budget Cuts in 2008
One of my staff members waited almost 4 hours in the V.A. last week for his eye appointment. He was on time, the staff was so overwhelmed that he was forced to wait almost 4 hours.
Geoerge is an evil bastard.

I guess in Bush's world, sectarian violence doesn't count as a civil war
Sunni mosque bombed as Iraqi tanks deploy in Baghdad
Good gods, even Saddam is calling for an end to the violence.
But George continues to ignore it.

new realities for some people
Tensions...
This afternoon I listened to some idiot call in on the Randi Rhodes Show claiming to be a Captain in the U.S. Army. He spewed right wing talking points all over the place and insited that Randi didn't know anything about the realities of the Iraq War. This guy kept saying that things in Iraq are great and getting better.
Go take a look at Baghdad Burning and see if you think Riverbend agrees with that idiot's point of view.

Bush Unaware of Ports Deal Before Approval
"He became aware of it over the last several days," McClellan said. Asked if Bush did not know about it until it was a done deal, McClellan said, "That's correct." He said the matter did not rise to the presidential level, but went through a congressionally-mandated review process and was determined not to pose a national security threat.
Once again, we get, "well we checked it out, don't worry your pretty little heads."
Let's be clear, it's not anti-Arab to question the sale of ports integral to American safety to a STATE owned company who have absolutely had ties to al-Qaeda.

Hecklers Disrupt Scalia at D.C. Appearance
Aw.... Poor baby. Did someone try to make you answer hard questions?
How hard is it for these guys to remember that they work for us, the people? Sooner or later we are going to start demanding answers.

news you didn't see in the American press today
Report probes US custody deaths
I don't think that there can be any question that prisoners of war have been abused, assaulted and killed during this illegal war Bush the lesser has forced us into.

VP Accident Tale Filled With Discrepancies
Now if only they could be more diligent about following up about things like the war, corruption and bribery in Congress, treason. You know, the little things.

U.S. airlines mishandle 9,700 bags a day
I am not a good packer. Last year when I went to NY for 10 days, I took a packed suitcase. It was a pest to carry. And imagine taking it onto the subway. Although, a very nice man did carry it up the steps at the station for me.
In October I visited my parents for a week. And I took 1 carry on rolling case. With space to spare. When I go to Washington in May, I'm taking the same case.
I'm doing my best to not check in baggage any more.
I watched how the agents handled my bag when I went to NY. No thanks. If it doesn't fit, I don't need it.

New Yorkers seek high-class love at the opera
Okay, I don't know if I love this story as much as I did the original title of the story, which was: NYC singles look for love at the opera
I've been to lots of operas here in Los Angeles. Heck, I even have an educational partnership with the Opera company to have lectures in my library.
But seriously, I've never met a guy at the opera.

raise your hand if you think this will really happen
Judge Orders Action on Spying Documents
I saw no hands.
I'm pretty sure the government has shredded these documents anyway.
If you read the article, you'll notice that the adminstration has just ignored the law as it is.

U.S. Rejects U.N. Report on Gitmo
It's been proven that the U.S. government is holding innocent men and children at Guantanemo. So of course they're going to reject being held accountable.

Wow. How very gracious of his Excellency!
Cheney to Break Silence in Fox Interview
Wow. Shoots a man in the face and goes on Fox to explain what happened.
Simply unbelievable.
We say it all the time, but can you imagine what would have happened had it been a Democratic Vice President who had shot a man? He would be in jail.
But Dick "dick" "i shot a man in the face" Cheney gets to call the shots.
Hey! Whittington daughters! Pay attention to this crap. Your father took a load of shot to the face, had a heart attack and is the one being blamed to this.
Don't you think it's time to start fighting back? Don't you have a right to speak out for your father? You know. The guy that's in INTENSIVE CARE!

Cheney needs to resign
Hunter Shot by Cheney Has Heart Attack
Okay, sure I say that all tthe time. But this grows more and more horrible by the moment.
How can he be allowed to just walk away with no sort of consequence?
He hasn't even bothered to make a public apology. And Cheney owes that at the very least.

and now I'm depressed
What a bummer of a way to end the evening.
First the sad news about Paul Hackett.
And then I'm watching the Olympics and see two of the most horrifying crashes I've ever seen in my life! Unbelievably scary.
And now I'm too sad to go to sleep!

What Steve said.
The mountain we're climbing
I'm really disappointed in this. Paul Hackett was the first "Fighting Dem" and now he's drop out of politics altogether. Because of the Democratic Establishment. I hope he doesn't quit politics. Take a couple days, regroup and come back fighting. Hackett has taken a bunch of garbage from the talking heads and didn't back down. A lesson practically every Democrat in Congress and the Senate needs to learn. I'm really angry on Hackett's behalf.

Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter
Offered without comment.
Except I will mention that Howard Dean compared Cheney to Aaron Burr earlier today.

First lady calls Clinton's criticism 'out of bounds'
Laura Bush needs to simply SHUT UP!! Hilary Clinton is a sitting Senator. She can every right and every reason to criticize this criminally negligent administration.

Know what? I don't believe him.
Bush Says Cooperation Thwarted 2002 Attack
Really. I don't believe him. Mr. "look at how great we are" would have been shouting this to the rooftops during the elections if this was true. But no. He's tanking in the polls. His incompetence is being trumpeted from both sides. And all of a sudden, boing! He's stopped a terrorist plot. Yup. Couldn't stop the one when he was told "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.". Couldn't be bothered to do a thing about that one. But all of a sudden he's all over it.
No. I don't believe this at all.

it's not the politics that sucks...
Election-Year Politics Imperil Bush Budget
it's the budget. As if it's politics that's calling for $36 billion to be cut from Medicare. Or cutting survivor benefits.
No, it's liar George playing politics with people's lives.

Thousands of Katrina Victims Evicted
This administration is evil. There is no other question about it. How can this be possible? FEMA, which used to be a proud and noble agency, has, under this misadministration, become a horrible joke.

but it's a bipartisan scandal!
Abramoff's grand aims came early
I found this linked on Blah3.
And the money quote is:
A lifelong Republican who never gave one red cent to Democrats and worked to make sure that the Democratic Party remained in the minority is now supposedly a "bipartisan scandal". Just because his clients gave to Democrats doesn't mean that they were corrupt.
I found this linked on Blah3.
And the money quote is:
''Our job," Abramoff wrote, ''is to remove liberals ''from power permanently -- [from] student newspaper and radio stations, student governments, and academia.
''We are replacing these leftists with committed conservatives."

this is the guy they expect to "clean up the House?"
GOP leader: Keep privately paid trips
He's so full of it. His hands are dirty and he has no interest in truly cleaning up the corruption in the House.

And blogger hasn't let me in for days! What's up with that?!
Our regular scheduled program should resume soon.

You know what's more damaging? ILLEGALLY TAPING AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!
CIA Chief Says Wiretap Disclosure Damaging
Here'e the thing. The wiretapping has been going on for some years, right? Not one person has been arrested or convicted because of this program. Not. One.
Porter Goss is Chimpy's man. So for him to say revealing the program is bad means absolutely nothing.
