  • Legalizing Tyranny

    I couldn’t get to sleep last night thinking about the torture/detention legislation that got scared through Congress yesterday. We are a country ruled by a President who has seized the power to break the law in multiple ways while virtually nothing is done about it. Yesterday, we formally vested the power in the President to […]

  • Bill Clinton Chews Chris Wallace Up and Spits Him Out on FOX News and All Critics of His Conduct Re: Bin Laden, Cole Bombing and ‘Wag the Dog'

    I still love Bill Clinton. Any guy that can do the New York Times crossword in record time can be in my Oval Office any day. And Clinton post-bypass is fearless. Chris Wallace asks him why he didn’t ‘do more’ to stop Bin Laden. Bill lays him out – not just in tone but completely […]

  • United States to World: Go Fuck Yourself

    I am absolutely apalled at the changes the Congress are doing to the application of the Geneva Conventions by the United States. Secret prisons. Military tribunals. Indefinite detention. Kidnappings. Accepted interrogation techniques that – let’s face it – are really just calling torture by any other name but torture. How did we get here? Torture […]

  • Kidnapped by the CIA and Bleeding

    Mr. Bush says: We do not condone torture. I have never ordered torture. I will never order torture. The values of this country are such that torture is not a part of our soul and our being. Ethiopian Binyam Mohamed, kidnapped in Pakistan and turned over to the CIA: One of them took my penis […]

  • Keith Olbermann on 9/11, ‘Impeachable Offense' and ‘a Grasping, Opportunistic, Dilettante'

    Olbermann burns through the wreckage… long long rant: (transcript and video over at Crooks & Liars) And anyone who claims that I and others like me are “soft”, or have “forgotten” the lessons of what happened here — is at best a grasping, opportunistic, dilettante — and at worst, an idiot — whether he is […]

  • Patriot Day

    D: Did you have a good Patriot day? Andy: The best. Had dinner at Old Country Buffet followed by our Klan meeting and drag racing in our H2’s. D: haha. No shooting at arabic-looking people? Andy: that was brunch

  • You Know What and You Know Who

    Very late start today. Didn’t wake up until about 9:45. Made the time today to handwrite my journal and my affirmations. Kitty is sequestered outside the bedroom so I don’t have him stomping on the keyboard. Lots of rain today. Gloomy outside. Today’s challenege is to not watch any television on this fifth anniversary of […]

  • Andrew Bacevich on Stopping Terrorism

    The author of The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War gives a five-point plan for ending terrorism: First, terminate actions that are self-evidently counterproductive, above all by extricating ourselves in an orderly way from Iraq. Second, revive in modified form the Cold War principles of containment and deterrence, incorporating explicit security guarantees […]

  • Disney/ABC Screens 9/11 Propaganda ‘Documentary' to Right-Wing Bloggers Only

    Fantastic: On September 1, it became evident that ABC had offered previews of “The Path to 9/11” to right-wing bloggers and media personalities, like Rush Limbaugh, and to mainstream media outlets. When it was confirmed that no advance information had been sent to progressive and liberal bloggers and media, an effort was launched to discover […]

  • Pakistan Gives bin Laden Safe Harbor with White house Approval

    Pakistan says that if bin Laden “is being like a peaceful citizen” inside the country, he “would not be taken into custody.” Pakistan makes deal with militant tribes that the Pakistani military will no longer operate in the area where Osama bin Laden and other top al Qaeda operatives are believed to be hiding. The […]
