Obama Justice Department Strikes Again!
Here’s some news that made a splash in the blogs on Wednesday, but it still hasn’t managed to hit the mainstream media: the Obama Justice Department’s latest effort in their extremely successful ongoing campaign to out-Bush the Bushies. The Justice Department made a legal filing on Wednesday, urging the Supreme Court not to reconsider the [...]
When Poll Reading Goes Off the Rails
This is apparently what passes for public opinion reporting at the AP these days: A new, expansive Pew Research Center survey that contained those details also found that the nation’s values haven’t fundamentally changed.

Quote Of The Day
Shaun Mullen, at Kiko’s House, puts into perspective the buckyballs cowardice that has “feckless Demoquacks” caving in to Republicans’ criminally stupid NIMBY campaign: …majority leaders Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi caved in to pressure from Republicans — yes, the crowd whose power is so diminished that they could fit into a men’s room stall at [...]

Giuliani’s Alternate Reality
It may be officially time to start referring to Rudee Giuliani as Rudee Screwloosiani. As far back as I can remember, he has always been shamefully dishonest, but now he seems to have totally divorced himself from both reality and logic. Monday morning, on MSNBC‘s “Morning Joe” (that’s the place you go to when you [...]
Democrats Fold Once More
Many irresponsible liberal bloggers are now going around saying that congressional Democrats have no balls at all. Not true. They do have balls. You just need an electron microscope to see them. Republicans have been jumping up and down in well-simulated apoplexy as they portray President Obama‘s decision to close Guantanamo as constituting a grave [...]
How Many War Crimes Will It Take Till He Acts?
More evidence is trickling out to suggest that preventing another terrorist attack may never have been the prime motivation behind the torture the Bush-Cheney regime practiced on high-value al Qaeda detainees.
