Well, well, well. All kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork suggesting Hillary Clinton oughta give Obama a run for him money. From the recent Chicago Tribune Editorial by Steve Chapman in which he exhorts Obama to step down, and Clinton to step up, to Dick Cheney, who not only suggested she would [...]

The Huffington Post, of all places, carried two surprising news items critical of The One. The first as reported by Danny Shea tells us Chris Matthews… The MSNBC anchor, once so enamored with Barack Obama that he admitted a campaign speech sent a thrill up his leg, has now told Jay Leno that Obama scares [...]

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 was a [...]

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 wonders [...]

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 out – I’ll [...]

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 Windrem, following [...]

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?”

“Clinton Takes a Dig at Cheney“: 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 person you decide is the [...]

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 games [...]

Joe Lieberman): “Lieberman, who also spoke, ‘noted that former vice president Richard B. Cheney injured himself while moving into his new home, according to a source inside the dinner. “I had [...]
