Dear John,
I used to like you, but now I think you are a punk-ass bitch.
Years ago the “maverick” label seemed like it fit. You used to be against giving huge tax breaks to the rich, but now you want to extend Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy, even though Bush’s plan has added trillions to the [...]

Robert Novak listens to NPR while running over pedestrians
Published by July 23rd, 2008 in Politics. 0 CommentsLike me, Robert Novak enjoys listening to NPR’s Morning Edition. Unlike me, he uses it as his soundtrack to mow down pedestrians in D.C. traffic.
Here is his interview from Politico.com after being detained by the Police:
Apparently, he was driving his black convertible Corvette down K Street in D.C. when he mowed down a pedestrian. [...]

President Bush signed the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 that was passed by the Senate on Wednesday with the help of, as Paul Krugman put it, the “coalition of the craven” Democrats.
Bush gave a short speech before signing the bill that basically went like this: “FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! I WILL PROTECT YOU!” But because his [...]

1. GWB tells Israel that Obama is going to cause the next holocaust.
2. Hard Ball host Chris Matthews challenges a loud-mouthed, flock-jock, talk(ing points) radio host and republican party line parrot to back up his words with a little substance. I swear to god I haven’t seen this [...]
From Amy Goodman’s interview with Gore Vidal on DEMOCRACY NOW!
AMY GOODMAN: You wrote two books during the Bush administration. Two of the books you’ve written are Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace and Dreaming War. Why these two?
GORE VIDAL: Well, Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace, that’s my main book during that period. That was the foreign [...]
