Sure the Brits have been gamely along for the ride long before day one, but it’s hard to argue that Pakistan is not the United States’ most critical ally in the War on Terror. Yup, the very place where the significant when convenient Osama bin Laden has been hiding out for the last six years […]
That unfamiliar time of year has just rolled round when wearing blue can be dangerous for your heart, commotion abounds and green walls can turn red. Wonders are about to happen and we’re on the verge of either a party not seen for a century or mass expressions of a deep and public despair. Yes, […]
I’ve been referring to the Oval Office’s occupant by the appellation of Our Fine President pretty much since I started this place. Sure it’s a bit childish to call him names – or in this case refuse to call him a name – but it serves as a commentary on his habit of giving everyone […]
I really wanted to stay away from this whole Larry Craig disaster. I just feel bad for the guy, I feel bad for the people who voted for him and those he represented who supported his opposition. But he keeps making it worse, and now, since he obviously doesn’t understand the real reason his Minneapolis […]
There’s all kinds of distractions going on with the not gay Larry Craig resigning from the Senate, multi-divorced presidential candidates speaking up about the sacredness of marriage and the possible discovery of the fabled chupacabra, but it’s now September and this is when we were promised an assessment of the Iraq war and the prospects […]

“I can’t give you the precise moment, but obviously the minute I heard that the facts that most people believed were true were not true, that I expect there to be a full investigation and get to the bottom of it.”
That’s a recent statement from Our Fine President pulled from its original context and stripped […]
I don’t think it’s a secret that I’m not a big fan of all the subterfuge, hidden agendas and, well, secrets that go on in the name of government. I think it’s a bad policy for any level of government to engage in the deception of the public, and while there are legitimate reasons to […]
Hypocrisy and politics have long been close friends, but the levels to which Republicans are taking things these days are down right ridiculous. It’s as if they don’t understand the durability of recordings of their previous statements, or just think people are either too dumb to notice or too apathetic to care. I’d like to […]
It seems these days if you ask a supporter of the war in Iraq to define victory or explain the objectives of our occupation force the response you get has nothing to do with the questions asked. Usually they want to come back with a comment about how the American people wont accept defeat or […]
