  • What can we do?

    When will the criminality of this war result in criminal charges? At what point?

  • The poor (as in unfortunate) woman who would sleep with that awful man is not the problem...

    Wolfie's Eva Braun is of no concern to me. His position and influence regarding the illegal effort of pre-emptive warfare is of great importance. If there is justice, he will be in front of the Hague in chains explaining what, why and how he contributed to the crimes against the peace and war crimes that occured as a result of our illegal invasion of the sovereign state of Iraq.

  • Open letter to all Republican's:

    The RNC will destroy the evidence, make no mistake about that. But computer records take a bit of work to totally scrub. So... here's the proposition: Your party is going down in flames. The Bushists have made fools of all of you who voted or believed in him. If you want to save your party, find these records...Publish them in Salon and the NYTIMES.... Cut the cancer from your body. Your party is depending on you! Be a hero! Besides doing the right thing, you will certainly be the most sought after speaker and guest... which could mean millions of dollars a year in appearence fees. Think about it! If not for your country, for the financial security of yourself and your family.

  • In other words:

    Oh wait... I have no other words... so let me repeat: 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11.... oh and it snowed in Crawford (or so I would have you believe), so THAT PROVES THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GLOBAL WARMING..... Questions? Sorry. I got nothing.

  • Heck of a job Kussman

    [Read the article: VA report found Walter Reed problems in 2004]

    Why is he being promoted? Because as the commander in chief is an expert in failing upwards, and rewards others who do the same. He surrounds himself with other incompetent people to complete his task of complete chaos and destruction. Really, it's quite spectacular when you think about it. Like watching two trains collide head-on.... or planes crashing into a building, or levies breaking and flooding cities. This is the legacy and metaphor of the Bushists and their amazingly destructive tenure.

  • Ending the war is anything but micromanagement...

    Perino: I don't think the American people are saying that the generals should be handcuffed and that there should be micromanagement by Sen. Harry Reid as a military advisor....

    Quite right Ms. Perino, the people are not asking for micromanagement... the people are asking for macromanagement, and a budget that works to end our illegal involvement in the Iraq war is anythiong but micromanagement..... Oh... and by the way Ms. Perino, your boss and his administration are war criminals, and you are aiding and abetting their insane cause.

  • Cheney most powerful in America....

    [Read the article: Cheney in charge]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    There are ongoing protests about the invitation and presence of the the Dark One at Brigham Young Univiersity's commencement speech. However one young student, David Lassen, 23, chairman of the B.Y.U. College Republicans, representing a handful of apologists from one of the nation's most conservative schools had this to say: “No matter what you think of Cheney, he’s easily the most powerful man in the world.”.

    I guess that makes it official.

  • MORE!

    [Read the article: It's like bringing them home sooner, only different]

    More money, more deaths, more permenant injuries, more families torn apart, more recruitment for Al Queda. Who are the Bushists representing at this point?

  • Round them up...smoke 'em out! It's time for Congress to do some shock and awe!

    [Read the article: Yeah, that's the ticket]

    Dammit! Issue warrants to search the computers and the mail servers... it takes quite a lot to truly delete anything off a computer....unless of course...you are using special software...then it is no longer a case of "accidentally" deleting anything...but a concerted effort.... Either way, if you get those computers, you will know and the result will be the same... PRISON!

  • Executive Branch cannot have it both ways......not any longer

    [Read the article: Karl Rove, again]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The way I see it- If the contents and emails of the RNC computers are not subject to the same laws as the executive branch regarding the preservation of all communications, then those very same computers can not be shielded by any version of 'executive privlige', since they themselves have already decided that these computers are outside the reach of executive branch regulations.

    It's one or the other:

    If the executive branch claims that the RNC computers are part of their work product...or in any way claim executive privlige over the contents of these computers, then 20 or so White House staffers, including Karl Rove, will be (and should be) jailed for deleting communications that they were to preserve by law.

    If the executive branch claims that they are not part of the communications that are required to be preserved by law, then those RNC computers and the servers they use, are no longer protected by the executive branch, and must be handed over.

    It's a win win. Either way, Karl Rove goes to jail.

  • Of course Karl, we believe you....

    [Read the article: He didn't mean to leak Plame's identity, either]

    Ok....that's cool Karl... We believe you... now just hand over the computer to our data forensic expert and we'll call you. I know you want to to the right thing.

  • Tommy gun clarifies comments...

  • Further excerpts from Cheney interview:

    [Read the article: Well, at least he didn't shoot him]

    Schieffer: Ok... moving along.. can we talk about your hobby of pulling wings off of flies and watching them scurry around until they are dead?

    Cheney: Is that illegal?

    Shieffer: Not to my knowledge.

    Cheney: In that case, I can respond.... I do enjoy a nice little session of ripping wings off of flies. I find it relaxing.

    Shieffer: Do you think they feel pain?

    Cheney: Bob, they're flies!
