As my colleague, Blackdogred, often says (except that he is talking about music) In my head, be in yours:
There he is, folks, the leader of the free world.

In a comment below Pat brought up the notion that Obama is called “elitist” as code for “uppity” and BDR reminded us that it has a tradition as old as Milton railing aginst the Roundheads.
These are both clearly true. Obama is being called out for “acting white” as if a […]

Here we go. George Bush has been trying to ram a Status Of Forces Agreement down Iraqi throats. Basically, the American side is demanding that the Iraqi side agree to a continuation of the present situation, that the US military can do what it pleases in Iraq. Under Bush’s plan, US forces would have powers […]

Ever wonder why nucular proliferation is such a low priority of Bushco?  Maybe it’s because they can’t keep track of our own stuff, no less anyone else’s.  Let’s see, fuses sent “in error” to Taiwan, 5 lost nuke missles last year.  What’s next, an inadvertent detonation in Times Square, or downtown SF?  Oops!

I wanted to let the Jeremiah Wright issue ferment for a while before posting on it and on the campaign again (Sorry Groom, the coming global depression is going to be big news tomorrow ushered in by the fire sale of Bear Stearns to JP Morgan for (gasp!) $2/share. But it’s too, well, depressing.) […]

Bear Stearns loses half of its value within 30 minutes of market open today. The Fed and JP Morgan prop it up with dollars that have taken a 40% hit during the past 12 months. Mr. Happy gets in front of the Economic Club of New York this morning and blows rainbows […]

The commander in the Middle East, Admiral Fallon, head of Centcom, has resigned. He was one of the officers who stood between us and a disastrous war with Iran. It is no secret that there are those Neocons, who are still running around, who desire this war above all else before President […]

Bushco is busy setting up a side deal with Iraq whereby we provide security forever, unilaterally decided by Bush without Congressional approval or oversight. That’s called a treaty and based on my read of that dusty piece of paper also known as the Constitution, things called treaties must be approved by Congress. Think Obama […]

The Dem race has degenerated into something out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Hillary invades the French castle with her Trojan Rabbit forgetting to put her men inside. Obama farts in her general direction and catapults cows over the wall. Meanwhile the media has played this like it’s a perpetual […]

Set your TiVo if you can’t tear yourself away from those magical Oscar red carpet moments, but 60 Minutes is running a long awaited piece on the damage that Bushco’s Justice Department has done to our political process. It’s harrowing. Alberto’s gang, with the active participation of Karl Rove, railroaded Alabama’s Democratic […]
