I’ve long suspected that the neo-cons’ insistent use of the phrase “War On Terror” was primarily intended to drum up war fervor among the faithful (cons) and fuel fear and hysteria among the rest of us. War is good for business. War (they thought) is good for Republicans. War is good for Haliburton. And what’s…
Iranian President Ahmadinejad is no Idiot – he took my advice and released the 15 captured British sailors in a made-for-media ceremony that probably made Carl Rove jealous. I hadn’t even realized that Ahmadinejad counted himself among my 2 readers, but I’m happy that he wised up, and hopefully he can gain from my future kernels…
The Bush Administration’s consent to let Congress “interview” a couple of his aides in the matter of the firing of eight U.S. attorneys is nothing more than a ploy to allow his people to lie to the American public. Bush refuses to let the aides speak under oath and refuses to allow transcripts of the interviews.…
I give in. I thought I could be as juvenile and dim-witted as leading Republicans, but I just don’t have it in me. A few weeks ago, I got a little peeved at the Republicans’ recently-adopted campaign platform of dropping the “ic” when referring to the Democratic Party. In the heat of the moment, I sunk…
In a surprising (to no one) turn of events, alleged 9/11 mastermind and 4 year Guantanamo detainee Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to planning the 9/11 attacks. According to the Associated Press, Mohammed also claimed that he helped organize the 1993 truck bombing of the World Trade Center, the “Filka Island Op.” in Kuwait in 2002, and the…
President Bush is passionate about income inequality: “The fact is that tens of millions of our brothers and sisters to the south have seen little improvement in their daily lives,” Mr. Bush said, “and this has led some to question the value of democracy.” Yep, we’re pretty disgruntled down here in the South.
It’s been impossible to miss the video of Ann Coulter’s comments about John Edwards lately. Of course I checked it out, and one click lead to another, and I found myself at the JohnEdwards08 campaign site, where I decided to make my first 2008 campaign contribution, in honor of Ms. Coulter. Keep up the good…
The ink was still wet on my last post, admiring Lindsey Graham’s studious conviction, when I picked up the Sunday New York Times and read this lead editorial: …Today we’re offering a list – which, sadly, is hardley exhaustive – of things that need to be done to reverse the unwise and lawless policies of…
I just caught part of Tim Russert interviewing Lindsey Graham on Meet the Press, and I’ve got to say, for a Republan, Lindsey ain’t half bad. South Carolina voters could have elected a lot worse. Jim DeMint, for example.
Now that the Democrats control Congress, we’re finally seeing some movement towards fairness in the workplace. Thursday the House passed the Employee Free Choice Act of 2007, which will make it easier for employees to form unions and will toughen penalties on employers who fire or intimidate workers who join a union. All of South…
