The NIE And The Burned CIA Videotapes

I'm beginning to bet George W. Bush is counting the days to the end of his term as well. He just can't seem to outrun, outtalk, or outmaneuver all the outrageous corruption and scandal that seems to have riddled his entire administration. The latest National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) was issued... Sign in to see full entry.

The Bush Legacy: An Autonomous Palestinian State

Bush met with Palestinian leader Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ohmert yesterday and announced that talks would begin on a plan to peacefully create an autonomous Palestinian state to coexist peacefully alongside Israel. Today, he announced that they would be done by year's end, 2008. What? There... Sign in to see full entry.

Scott McClellan Adds More Blame To The Plame Naming Game

Ex-presidential secretary Scott McClellan has a new book coming out in April. As a teaser, PublicAffairs, the publisher of the upcoming book, What Happened, posted an excerpt on their website. The excerpt places the blame squarely on the shoulders of the highest officials (and their aides) in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Oklahoma Takes Illegal Immigration Into Their Own Hands

As of November 1, the state of Oklahoma began doing what the federal government has refused to do for decades -- enforce existing immigration laws. Basicly, HB 1804 states that illegal immigrants are not welcome in the state of Oklahoma. The bill gives law enforcement the right to do background... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, If He Was Looking For A Fight, He Damn Sure Found One

Bush vetoed the SCHIP legislation just like he said he would. The problem doesn't stem from the man doing something he said he would. No, that's quite alright with most people. But in this instance, doing what he said he would do was the wrong thing to do. The SCHIP legislation allowed for a $7... Sign in to see full entry.

Did That Moron Actually Say, "Mandela's Dead"?

Yesterday, the beleaguered lame duck president, ducked and dodged and sparred poorly with the press about the economy and Iraq. In one instance, when asked why there has been little progress in Iraq, he actually replied, "Part of the reason why there's not this instant democracy in Iraq is because...

And I Thought The Swift Boat People Were A Bunch Of Crass Asses...

MoveOn.org placed a full-page ad in the New York Times with a picture of General David Petraeus with the caption underneath stating "General Betray Us." Say what you want about the man's testimony, calling his honor and allegiance into question is going a little too damned far. Just like those... Sign in to see full entry.

Fighting For The Hispanic Vote

Democrats came to Miami looking to win over voters yesterday in Univision's nationally televised debate geared toward the hispanic community. And it is an important bloc of voters. Experts estimate that the number of registered hipanic voters will double what it was in 2000, which was around 7... Sign in to see full entry.

Fred Thompson Is Finally In The Running

Well, in true Fred Thompson fashion, the conservative Republican threw his hat in the candidate race for the Republican nomination for president in 2008 -- on television. He announced on Jay Leno's show last night and followed with a website offering at midnight. He hit the ground running in Iowa... Sign in to see full entry.

Alberto Gonzalez Resigns: Hasta La Vista, Texas Mafia

The long-awaited voluntary withdrawal of Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez from Bush's cabinet was made official today. President Bush was stiff-lipped. It was all he could do not to call Gonzalez "turd blossom" as he condemned Congress for running a good man's name through the mud (fertilizer?) for... Sign in to see full entry.
