What in the world is going on in this administration?
Last night, during my 1 hour commute which takes me all of 12 miles, I was listening to NPR and heard the very compelling testimony of former Deputy Attorney General James Comey and was surprised by the lengths that the White House would go to get [...]
You’d think the two would be best of friends, but apparently Fred Phelps didn’t like the competition.
This is for the funeral of the lying, false prophet Jerry Falwell. He was not a hero, nor was he honorable. He was nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and he has made those that follow in [...]

Published by May 15th, 2007 in Church & State, Humor, News and Politics. 7 CommentsAnd while I think it’s tacky to celebrate anyone’s death at any time, I’m going to get a little tacky today.
Dear Mr. Falwell,
Your contribution to the society I shared with you was an unforgivable combination of unity-in-hatred among some of the more virulent religious right and a lowering of the bar for public discourse [...]

Published by May 13th, 2007 in Iraq and al Qaeda. 0 CommentsOpponents of setting a deadline for the withdrawal of major United States and Coalition combat forces from Iraq typically use some or all of the following arguments :
- setting a deadline tells our enemies how long they need to hang on for victory - or, as neo-conservative William Kristol declares in an outraged tone every [...]
Given the sorry lot of Republican presidential candidates described below, it’s no surprise that several high-profile Republicans have left the party and decided to throw their support behind a Democratic candidate. Who are the Bush defectors? One of them is Tom Bernstein who used to co-own the Texas Rangers with George W. Bush. Bernstein has [...]

Among the field were the 11 [...]
