Republican Senators Stand Up To Bush on Torture -- Yes !!!
The Senate Armed Services Committee voted 15-9 today to today recommend a bill that would set up military courts to prosecute suspected terrorists without changing the U.S. reading of the Geneva Conventions. Bush announced he will reject such a bill. My Republican hero’s of the day are Susan Collins of Maine, John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Warner of Virginia, chairman of the committee.

Col. Pete Devlin's classified assessment states that local government has collapsed and the central government has almost...

House Members Should Be Ashamed -- And Voted Out of Office
The House was back in session last week. They’ve worked 80 days so far this session, and plan on another 15. What a killer schedule, eh? No WONDER they don’t get much done in the House. This will be a new record for “fewest days on the job” of any session. Maybe they should show up for work! But last week, back from summer recess, was the limit.
