There wasn’t much reason for optimism that anything whorthwhile would emerge from last week’s debate in the United States Senate on two Democratic non-binding resolutions on the Iraq War, which risked exposing the party’s divisions whilst highlighting GOP unity behind the Bush administration. Surprise! The Democrats may have finally found their voice on [...]
Today is the first full day of summer, and something very strange has happened in Seattle. The sun came out and it looks like it’s going to stay out all day and make repeat appearances for the next few days.
Listen to the Eels sing “Mr. E’s Beautiful Blues” today.

Two years ago there was a lot of talk by progressives about where they would go to escape the Unite States if Bush was re-elected. New Zealand was at the top of many people’s lists. I’ve never been there, but it looks like a great place to live: beaches, mountains, the ocean, wine [...]
Over the last two decades, the Republican Party and its propaganda wing on Fox News and right-wing hate radio have coarsened our political dialogue to a degree that is both astonishing and appalling. The flame-throwing, take-no-prisoners approach championed by the likes of Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay and Karl Rove, cheered on always by their [...]
Bob Harris put up a nice rant about certain skinny blonde publicity whore who has another book filled with vile diatribes about the “godless” liberals. There’s a new poll to go along with it too.
During the past two weeks, the writers for this site have refrained from mentioning the cruel, hate-filled spokesperson for the [...]
Mr. Barnes points out in the post below how the Bush Administration’s policies for conduct during this “War on Terror” have seriously hurt the reputation of the United States of America.
He gave many examples of our bad behavior, but he left out one: The figurative beheading of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Since when did the United [...]
In surveying the public policy carnage left, so far, by the Bush presidency it’s difficult to single out the one course that has inflicted the most damage on our country. The litany of failed, misguided, wrong-headed and disastrous policies pursued by this administration on everything from the environment to the Iraq fiasco surely exceeds anything [...]
Leave it to Jon Stewart to breathe some life into the stale gay marriage debate brought up by the GOP again this year. If you missed the opening segment from Tuesday’s show, watch it!
I especially like this part about the dangerously high levels of cognitive dissonance that Bush supporters must live with every day.
And [...]
Not long ago, Bill O’Reilly was on David Letterman’s show and Letterman told Bill that he was pretty sure that 60% of what he said was crap.
More like 100%.
Last week, yes I’m way behind on blogging… kind of burned out on the Bush reruns about gay marriage and flag burning… boring…
Anyway… last week O’Reilly [...]
