bottled war?

I'm sure Cheney loves bottled war, but can hotel managers really provide that for him in his hotel room?

Tony Snow: racism isn't a big deal anymore

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Snow_Racism_no_longer_a_big_0426.html

>>

Tony Snow, conservative pundit and incoming White House press secretary, told television viewers in 2003 that racism is no longer a "big deal," RAW STORY has learned.

Ironically, the remarks were made in defense of Rush Limbaugh's assertion that quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated by a media showing preferential bias to "black quarterbacks."

don't change the subject

The mainstream media is going to jump all over this, it's going to push important stories out of the way, and the Republican echo chamber is going to make THIS the issue of the day (or week), not the issues that are gaining traction, such as war for no reason and overt disregard of the Constitution. The story isn't what Patrick Kennedy did. The story is how this is going to become a story. Bush and company are going to use their customary boogeymen (Kennedys and Clintons) to do their usual response when there IS no response: "yeah, but [Kennedy|Clinton] ... " Luckily, I don't think this will gain traction with anyone except the more rabid and ignorant among their base.

going to hell in a bucket, babe ...

Is "e pluribus unum" an English phrase? Maybe the Senate should pass a resolution to change that.

Losing a democratic seat

If Lieberman loses the primary and runs as the candidate of his Dull Goose party, could that take enough votes from Lamont to cost us the seat?

Brown votes for gay and commie amendments!

US News and World Report (the article to which you linked) included a link to a DeWine attack site -- http://www.brownvotes.com/ -- which currently shows the fake image of the south tower on fire and the north tower intact.

That site lists a bunch of Congressman Sherrod Brown's votes in the House, votes which DeWine claims show that Brown is soft on terror or whatever. Notice how they point out the fact that Brown voted for amendments sponsored by Barney Frank and Bernie Sanders (as if the typical Ohio voter is going to know who these people are), attempting to associate Brown with the congressional fag and the congressional commie.

Marital problems in the white house?

>>It's hard to imagine that the famously loyal Bush would hand Rice the public humiliation of a devotion<<

That has already graced the pages of the supermarket tabloids.

I loved Chavez' speach

I watched the speach on CSPAN this morning while I was on a stairmaster. I noticed that several other people in the gym were also watching the speach. It's unusual to see so many of the little televisions tuned to CSPAN.

I loved the speach. From my perspective, George W. Bush *is* evil. I loved what Chavez said about American imperialism under Bush and America's attempts at hegemony. I loved what he said about Bush seeing extremists everywhere. I loved what he said about democracy imposed by military force. I loved that he was waving around a copy of Hegemony or Survival. He is so right about so much.

Bush and Kerry: both Skull and Bones

Is Kerry taking another fall for Skull and Bones, a secret society of which both he and Bush were members (contemporaneously, I might add)?
