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 [...]

(Bumped up from Saturday.) General McChrystal’s proposal for Afghanistan has been on Obama’s desk for almost two months now. And what is Obama doing about it? Well, he appears to be deciding on how to decide what his decision will be, but he’s not there yet. Nope, instead, he is throwing up some smokescreen about [...]

Dr. Sima Samar. Now, some of you may know who she is already. For those who do not, or for those who are want to learn more, this is for you. (H/t to my aunt for sending me a mini biography on her, and to American Girl in Italy for mentioning her recently, too.) And [...]

I would like an answer to my question. How can someone be so determined to knock everyone else off the stage that he would spend nearly a billion dollars to do it, and when his waffling and doubling dealing in office don’t yield the desired result, blame President Bush and everyone else under the sun [...]

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, [...]

Tina Brown, Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Beast, in her article Obama’s Other Wife, postulates that Hillary is a “brilliant policy wonk,” caring more about the “substance of work than the trappings,” yet the very title of her piece is insulting, indicating Secretary Clinton has completely sublimated herself to the President. At the same time, she [...]

CNN’s John King interviewed General Colin Powell Sunday as Powell airs doubts on Obama agenda. Here are some interesting remarks as covered by Jon Ward of The Washington Times: Colin Powell, one of President Obama’s most prominent Republican supporters, expressed concern Friday that the president’s ambitious blitz of costly initiatives may be enlarging the size [...]

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 [...]

(Bumped up from early morning.) In my earlier post, holder: obama does not decide who will be prosecuted, I wrote, “It appears Obama opened a whole can of worms with the release of these memos. Not only does he lack the authority to decide whether there will be prosecutions or not, I assume he also [...]

Okay, I am VERY curious. I want to ask all of you something:

Or perhaps this essay should be entitled “Some Advocates Are Idiots.” The idiots are MoveOn.org and Americans United for Change, who according to Karl Rove, the idiot par excellence, are targeting moderate Democrats in a vain attempt to garner support for Obama’s budget proposal. I quote the Wall Street Journal: Americans United is going after [...]

At least in the world of satire. Once again, The Onion has come through with a funny piece. This is timely considering Obama’s slap in the face to the GLBT community (AND women) by picking Rev. Rick Warren, the homophobic anti-choice minister from CA, to do the invocation for Obama’s Inauguration. So after that additional [...]

A guest column from the newspaper, TheCityEdition.com || Letters to the Editor In order to “save” the Democratic Party, Brazile resolved back in 2003 that she might have to destroy it first. And who better to help her in this lofty pursuit than her new best friend, the man neoconservatives call “The Architect”. ………………………….. BY [...]

Karl Rove is one jolly fat man. With George Carlin well on his way to being worm food, looks like Karl is angling to become America’s new funny man. I refer of course to Karl’s outrage that the “NY Times outed a CIA officer.” Appearing on Bill O’Reilly’s show yesterday, Rove and O’Reilly had this [...]
