Now in Japan, we have the G-8 summit in our northern island of Hokkaido. Frankly, I am not expecting anything momentous to come out of this. However, I did catch George Bush in a sound bite on the news the other day. Basically he was saying that America will not do anything to reduce CO2 […]

Cruising the net I found this. It is not just the war in Iraq that is costing so much money, it is all these incredible weapon systems that we just have to build. The thing is, I really cannot see the reason for a new class of Virginia attack submarines, when our Los […]

Which is why I’m posting an item about Eliot Spitzer. Nobody put blinkers on […]

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 […]

Like Angelo told his guy Clay… stick and move. 

is an old egomanaical right-wing dickwad who hates America. Just saying.

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.
