Robert Novak, the columnist who printed Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA
operative, has indicated in an interview that in his opinion, President Bush almost certainly knows the name of the Administration official who leaked Plame's identity to Novak. Last year, Bush said that whoever had leaked the name should be fired. Such a statement insinuates that Bush did not know...

Yesterday Dubya denied that he was a racist. Hmmm.
I don't suppose he is going to make a speech in which he admits that he is racist. Still, even his denial sounds hollow. If he were not racist, we would not be involved in an eternal war in Iraq, a war started on his desire to start a war, a bunch of lies and little else. The government's delayed...

Our soldiers in Iraq have written articles in Iraqi newspapers
that justify their presence in Iraq, or at least explain what their position is. This seems a little immoral to me. If we are fighting for the freedom of the press among other freedoms for these people, we should allow them to draw their own conclusions. If we saturate their beliefs with our...

The Republicans emesh themselves in one scandal after another
in the House these days. Cunningham, a representative from California got stuck in the middle of a scandal in which he made $1.5 million dollars on the sale of a house that was not worth that much money. Tom De Lay had connections to lobbyists who stuck their talons into other politicians as well as...

Six out of ten distrust Bush.
According to a recent poll, six out of ten distrust George W. Bush's honesty. Well good grief!!! Why couldnt't they have figured that out from the moment that the Supreme Court handed him the job as President in the first place? Why couldn't they have doubted his honesty before they elected him the...

This outing of Joe Wilson's wife's employment by the
CIA seems on the face of it hardly bigger than the tip of the iceberg of the crimes that preceded it in our government's involvement with lying about Iraq's nuclear or WMDs capabilities before our invasion of that country. I kind of think of how Al Capone got nailed by tax evasion because though he...

The cost of our invasion of Iraq is too high.
If Bush had the slightest reason for invading Iraq, that reason was not worth the price we have paid for the benefits we have achieved. Saddam Hussein was a dreadful tyrant, but no more dreadful than about ten other tyrants that hold power in their respective tryannies of countries. Saddam's sons...

Bush lost a chance to score some points with
the Middle East when he failed to send aid to quake stricken Kasmir last week. $50 million would have gone a long way in quenching some of the red hot anger his policies have engendered among our Arab bretheren. Kasmir is a hotly contested tract of land between Pakistan and India, but though both...

It is not so much that Dubya appointed Michael Brown the head
of FEMA as that he praised him for the abysmal job that Brown has done. "You're doing a heck of a job Brownie." That only shows that Bush is out of touch with any reality outside his own head. Had Katrina hit Beverly Hills or downtown Manhattan, the response would have been quite different but since...

Dubya proved his brilliance once again the other day when he advised
consumers to buy gas only when they really need it. By gosh, that's funny. I always feel like dropping into a gas station when I have a full tank of gas just to pump even more into the old tank. What the hell. That's why he's president I guess. Because of his huge intellect which he shows off in his...
