  • MoveOn Wusses Out on The War

    Boils down to ‘if the Democrats keep the war going and let the GOP screw themselves they have better chance of winning in 2008′” If MoveOn were serious about ending the war, now would be an opportune moment to mobilize its millions of members and make it finally happen. Instead, its current strategy is dead […]

  • I Want Ron Paul vs Mike Gravel

    Here’s Gravel on CNN doing his best not to reach through the camera and cockpunch Rick Sanchez: and Ron Paul has the nuts to flush ‘they hate our freedom’ down the toilet – again trying not to cockkick Rick Sanchez:

  • Florida Bans Electronic Voting Machines

    One small step: Florida has abruptly reversed course after the debacle of the 2006 election and banned electronic voting devices from all state elections. Florida was at the forefront of the electronic voting revolution after the disaster that was 2000 where Russia considered Florida a backwards democracy. However, since 2000 the machines themselves have been […]

  • HOWTO: Bring Down the Republican Party

    Via DailyKos: The story, of course, is election fraud. Gaming the electoral system from the inside. To unfairly favor republicans. Favors and promotions for those who go along. Demotions, firings and blacklisting of those who don’t. Nonexistent charges of voter fraud and threats or coercion for these charges to be investigated. Illegal redistricting. Petty lawsuits […]

  • Mike Gravel on Constitutional Confrontations

    (via Reddit) MotherJones.com | washington_dispatch: “What we need to do is to create a constitutional confrontation between the Congress and the president,” he says. “Most people have forgotten the Congress is more powerful than the president.” Never mind impeachment, Gravel says: “That’s a red herring right now. It would take over a year to screw […]

  • McCain Hasn't Voted in Congress for FIVE Weeks

    He’s such a maverick, I tell ya. McCain has gone five straight weeks without casting a vote in the Senate — he’s missed 43 straight votes. If he misses the next three votes, he’ll have been absent for 50 percent of the votes in the 110th Congress. What makes this all the more remarkable is […]

  • Frank Rich to GOP: Reagan is Dead

    Richie Rich writes: Wrongdoing of this magnitude does not happen by accident, but it is not necessarily instigated by a Watergate-style criminal conspiracy. When corruption is this pervasive, it can also be a by-product of a governing philosophy. That’s the case here. That Bush-Rove style of governance, the common denominator of all the administration scandals, […]

  • Barbara Ann Was Written By an Iranian

    Fred Fassert wrote the Beach Boys hit and is of Iranian heritage.

  • John Edwards Gets $400 Haircuts

    From Politico.com (I decided to try and read ‘the other side’ tonight – I started at Townhall.com) Well, John Edwards’ campaign for president spent $400 on February 20, and another $400 on March 7, at a top Beverly Hills men’s stylist, Torrenueva Hair Designs. The expensive haircut is, of course, a perennial. Bill Clinton got […]

  • Obama Rides Both Rails Regarding War

    From Daily Kos: Color me confused again. Obama, who so forcefully calls for an end to the war in Iraq in the MoveOn.org debate, who is such a supporter of a March 1, 2008 withdrawal from Iraq that he is “committed to finding the 67 votes we need to override this veto,” who proclaims on […]
