Mukasey Bows to the Inevitable

Bowing to what must have been enormous pressure from all corners, still Attorney General (sAG) Michael Mukasey has finally appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the illegal firings of several U.S. Attorneys in 2006.  The selected special prosecutor, Nora R. Dannehy, is pictured at right.  (Let’s hope we start seeing a lot more [...]

Fox News – Censorship Most Heinous

Sarah Palin, Republican eye candy and Vice Presidential candidate tried her best to hold a good, old fashioned book burning back in Alaska a couple of years ago.  Thankfully, her Nazi-esque aspirations were rejected out of hand by the school librarian.
This weekend, Fox news had no librarian to hinder them and was able [...]

Top Conservative Republicans Say Palin Should Step Down

Syndicated columnist and rabid Republican Kathleen Parker has noted that Sarah Palin should step aside.  Tony Fabrizio, a GOP strategist, seems to think Sarah is taking on water.  Chris Lacivita, a GOP strategist, notes that Palin ain’t no Hillary Clinton.
With even hard-core Republicans doubting and criticizing the sensationalism of the Veep candidate, how [...]

Obama Strikes Back Against McCain-Palin ‘Change’ Claims

“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change,’ it’s still going to stink,” Obama said. “After eight years, we’ve had enough of the same old thing. It’s time to bring about real change to Washington and that’s the choice you’ve got in this election.”
We’ve been inundated with false [...]

Republicans Restrict Access to Palin

In what can only be viewed as desperate self preservation, the Republican Party has severely restricted press access to the GOP Vice Presidential candidate.  Citing a requirement to treat her with "some level of respect and deference", campaign manager Rick Davis has to date only accepted Charles Gibson of ABC access.
What is it [...]

A Constituents View of Sarah Palin (And it’s not flattering!)

Anne Kilkenny, long-time resident of Wasilla, Alaska writes about Ms. Palin, her ability to keep secrets and her inability to either balance a budget or live within one.  Anne also spends a few moments discussing Sarah’s abuse of power.

Be Still My Heart

And to think this almost slipped through the cracks…..
Oh, if this were only to come to pass.  That the lying and thieving current administration get their just desserts.  What a day that will be.
We’ll be dancin’, dancin’ in the streets…….
Obama might pursue criminal charges against Bush

National Organization for Women weights in on Palin

The National Organization for Women (NOW) doesn’t think too highly of Sarah Palin, John McCain’s Vice-Presidential running mate.  In fact, from the tone and the content of the following article, they think quite poorly of her.

17 Year Old Daughter of Sarah Palin is Preggers

In what could be the most interesting news of the Republican Presidential Campaign, Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter has been confirmed as being 5 months pregnant.  That’s gotta be a blow to the radical Christian Right, don’t you think?
Palin underwent a "full and complete" vetting examination before McCain chose her as his [...]

Mukasey to Allow FBI Free Rein in Spying on YOU!

The Justice Department, currently mismanaged by Attorney General Michael Mukasey, is finalizing plans that would allow the F.B.I. to open an investigation on any American, conduct covert surveillance, pry into private records and take other types of  investigative steps “without any basis for suspicion.”
Essentially, Still President Bush is hoping that his tool, Mukasey, will [...]

McCain Can’t Lock In Vet Vote

As a veteran myself I always find it interesting how the news media like to lump us all together.  As if since we’ve undergone basic training, we’re no longer capable of thinking for ourselves.  Rather, we’re just some large flock of do-alike/think-alike sheep.
What a bunch of crap.

Still President Bush Blocks Legal Actions By Congress

I want to be shocked.  I should be shocked.  But I’m actually just weary of the same executive privilege bullshit that seems to spew out of the white house like vomit at a fraternity house toga party.
Still President Bush has decided that the interview conducted by a special prosecutor with Still Vice President [...]

McCain Scores With Smarmy Negative Campaigning

Doing just what he specifically said he wouldn’t do (and who doesn’t want that quality in a president?!?) John McCain has used some pretty low-life negative tactics in the past few weeks to undermine the daunting lead held by his opponent, Barack Obama.
Ripping pages from the Karl Rove manifesto, ‘How I Stole a [...]
