Rehab Does Not Equal Redemption

Republican representative Mark Foley entered a rehab today and blamed everything he's ever done on a secret alcoholism. He said his alcoholism drove him to do and say things he wouldn't normally do or say. Well, actually, he never said any of that; his lawyer did. No, Foley, your alcholism, if you...

Thai Regime Changes vs. Regime Changes Instituted By Americans

It's not that Americans couldn't foment, mount, and secure a regime change that demands bloodshed and destruction.

Moving In A Nutshell: One Helluva Pain In The Ass

You've Just Re-Entered The JonBenet Zone...

Are you getting as tired and frustrated with television programming and focus as I am? You can't turn the damned thing on without a story, an update, a newsflash, a news promo, a major story, a breaking story, or the latest in the JonBenet Ramsey murder case.

You've Just Entered the Jonbenet Zone...

Okay, okay, I get it. There's not enough murder and mayhem in the world to fill up the 24-hour news channels. But don't you think they're devoting just way too damned much airtime to this sensationalized 10-year-old murder case? Don't you? I turned the television on tonight and switched to the block...

He also announced that it was a pro-Hezbollah rally. In fact, the caption at the bottom of the screen also stated that it was a... Sign in to see full entry.

If You Are Black Or You Are Poor, Why Would You Vote For Cynthia McKinney?

Cynthia McKinney is very good at grabbing headlines. She's proven adept at creating controversy. She isn't afraid to use the race card. And, last but not least, she is very good at doing nothing to help her constituents. Case in point: Cynthia McKinney was absent for the recent vote to renew the... Sign in to see full entry.
