And the Bar for “What the @” Moments Is Raised Just a Bit Higher
This is insane. Kinda makes you wonder why we’re worrying about testing those airline passengers for TB.
I swear, that’s all I can stand for this day.

This just in from the land of the “backyard blast furnace…”
That’s what all the propaganda used to say about China’s industrial capabilities. Couldn’t build a MiG-15 worth squat. Steel was even worse than what the “Japs” made. Then, after Ed Deming exited stage right Moto closed down their big fabs in Illinois, Arizona and New Mexico saying productivity couldn’t keep up with their “China line.” Now, the nation some […]

Cindy Sheehan Throws in the Towel…
And throws the book at the zealots both left and right who tolerate the insanity that has given us this heinous war of lies, a complicit two-party system that can’t be trusted to do the right and moral thing, ever, and an impacted process and set of values that leads straight to the into the […]

Why we be in Iraq and shit…
As Barack Hussein Obama knows, in a “free country” one can say we all “did a little blow” and get away with a little love tap. But the not-so-double-secret#1 reason we are keeping the world “safe for democracy” is so that assholes like Phil Spector and others of his ilk can murder people and get away with […]

Mr. Bartlett’s Memorial Day Address to the Nation
My fellow Americans:
Since last Memorial Day, 980 American soldiers and Marines have died in Iraq. An average of nearly four a day have died this month alone. This past week, the United States Congress, led by the Democratic Party, had the chance to begin the process of stopping this carnage, and the Congress did not. […]

Political Punchcounter… Al Gore
While Josh suggests Gore offers us sophomoric rantings I humbly beg to report that the job of a president is to preside. And this Al Gore does without having to “overachieve.” He was liked enough (more sophomoric and rife with fulmination version) to win the presidential vote in 2000. But as former West Pointer and […]

Penguins on Fire
Quote of the day from Bill Maher, after Jimmy Carter called Bush the worst president ever:
I mean, who would you rank lower than George W. Bush? Nixon got in trouble for illegally wiretapping Democratic headquarters; Bush is illegally wiretapping the entire country. Nixon opened up relations with the Chinese; Bush let them poison your dog. […]

While You Were Sleeping…
Bush is busy dismantling whatever’s left of your constitutional rights. Check this out.
“This directive establishes a comprehensive national policy on the continuity of Federal Government structures and operations and a single National Continuity Coordinator responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of Federal continuity policies. This policy establishes “National Essential Functions,” prescribes continuity requirements for all […]

Watch Olbermann unload at C&L:
This is, in fact, a comment about… betrayal.
Few men or women elected in our history-whether executive or legislative, state or national-have been sent into office with a mandate more obvious, nor instructions more clear: Get us out of Iraq.
Yet after six months of preparation and execution-half a year gathering the strands […]

The Book on Al Gore
To be electable, a candidate for office needs to be likable. It’s not a complicated formula, but Al Gore still doesn’t get it, or he does and doesn’t care. I think he does know what it takes to be a presidential winner, but he just doesn’t care. Rumors of a Nobel Peace Prize aside, his […]
