You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges.
Turns out I am not the only one who [...]

The other day, I saw a post by Greg Palast, one he originally wrote for Huffington Post. When you read it, you will see why that is kind of funny. I wonder how they responded to it over there? I’m not about to go there and give them the traffic to find [...]

I saw this excellent piece by Jay Ambrose in my local paper recently, “Seeing Through Obama’s Promise Of Transparency.” In the article, Mr. Ambrose lays out a number of ways in which Obama has reneged on being “transparent”:
Transparency, said President Barack Obama in a memo not long after he took the oath of office, [...]

Before looking at Cheney’s efforts to cash in on torture, check out a Chicago rightwing radio host who initially believed waterboarding was not torture:
If you want to read what all the bloggers are saying about the experiment by WLS radio host Erich “Mancow” Muller, go here. It is VITAL to note that this man [...]

Sheldon Whitehouse, Democratic junior senator from Rhode Island, wades thigh deep into the mighty partisan swamp of torture with back to back performances on cable, CNN followed by MSNBC, commenting on a peculiar and melodramatic revelation from Charles Duelfer, the Iraq WMD searcher. The story is told in the Daily Beast by Robert [...]

The Wall Street Journal Inquires Re The Torture Memos.
“So the CIA requests a legal review … - and, seven years later, Mr. Obama says only the legal advisers who are no longer in government should be investigated…Is this President going to put his predecessor in the dock too?”

BELOW, MORE HILLARY on Obama’s friendliness towards Hugo Chavez, the case of former FBI agent Robert Levinson, Turkey and Armenia, and Indonesia and the U.S. — even our policy on “hurricane hunters”!

It was everything you would expect from the first round of a March Madness Tournament. Upsets, buzzer beaters, overtime and blowouts. Hard fouls, sharp elbows, long distance bombs and Larry Craig’s legendary wide stance. The battle for the No Quarter Trophy is underway. One National Champion will be named. The [...]

It’s that time of year. If you are one of the lucky Americans still working in an office atmosphere, you probably have been inundated with bracket contests tied to the NCAA Tournament. I love the tournament and watch those [...]

Larry Johnson, my friend, posted his personal view on statements of hatred towards Obama. It brings forward a simple question; Do we have among us those who have decided they are married to their hatred? Was it only our severe scrutiny of Obama that attracted you? Or are you interested in joining us to continue [...]

Cheney pushed for expanded presidential powers. Now that he’s leaving, what will come of his efforts? The new president won’t have to wait long to tip his [...]

According to Jonathan Martin of Politico, in his piece, “Obama: Closing Gitmo ‘A Challenge’”:
Barack Obama suggested he’s not likely to actively pursue criminal charges against national security officials who were directly involved in unlawful interrogations or wire-tapping, and said it would be difficult to quickly close down Guantanamo Bay.
Hold on to your hats, folks. [...]

Barack Obama’s mantra of change sounds eloquent on the campaign trail, but as we have pointed out repeatedly there is an enormous gulf between what he says and what he does. It is one thing, for example, to tout womens’ rights. But those exhortations ring hollow when we learn that [...]

OK, so three out of four of my siblings are Obama people. I don’t know about the fourth - I don’t think he has decided yet. My mother, a STAUNCH Hillary supporter, who is furious with the DNC (and has told them so because of the vote theft, etc.) says she doesn’t know where she [...]

Unexpectedly or perhaps surprising to me anyway, energy policy is actually getting debated. That’s a good thing even though I don’t really expected it to lead to the tough choices we need to make in the time frame we need to make them. To be honest, we are past the tipping point. We’re doomed. The [...]
