  1. The SEC And Ratings Agencies: Enabling The Market Meltdown Posted 06 Jan 2009 under Corruption, Economy

    Michael Lewis and David Einhorn had an op-ed in the NYT on Sunday that is worth reading. Their piece draws attention to two inter-related aspects of the meltdown in the financial markets. First, there is the role of the SEC: Created to protect investors from financial predators, the commission has somehow evolved into a mechanism for [...]

  3. Positively Presidential Prevarication Posted 08 Sep 2008 under 2008 Presidential, Lipstick on a Pig, St. John McCain

    Finally back from my travels, trying to catch up on all the news, the one thing I don’t get is this whole argument about whether or not Sarah Palin is qualified to be president, or even vice-president. Of course she’s qualified! Haven’t we already seen more than enough evidence that she’s pretty good at what [...]

  4. Jaw Boner Posted 13 Jun 2008 under Economy, Republican Clown Show, St. John McCain

    I guess we should expect this from the candidate who freely admits to knowing nothing about economics: Republican presidential candidate John McCain said on Thursday it was important to “talk up” the U.S. dollar and short-term steps were needed to strengthen its value. McCain, the Arizona senator who has wrapped up his party’s White House nomination, also [...]

  5. That Commercial Wouldn’t Make Any Sense to Me Posted 22 Jul 2007 under Bush Man Date, Rice

    Because Secretaries of State are…what, smart? If you’ve ever had trouble getting an Op-Ed submission published — and who among print journalists has not? — this might make you feel a little better: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has had the same problem. [...] A few months ago, she decided to write an opinion piece about Lebanon. She [...]

  6. Hot! Hot! Hot! — Summer In Baghdad, By The Numbers Posted 25 Jun 2007 under Iraq War

    Temperature: “As the blast furnace of summer brought 115-plus-degree days….” Electricity: “We’re getting about one hour every four days, and we don’t have cold water or the refrigerator, so we’re buying ice from the market.” (Thought experiment: just try to imagine 115 degrees and no electricity worth speaking of.) Cost of a generator: $450 Average monthly income: $200 Market price [...]

  7. Spinning Wolfowitz’s Corrupt Behavior Posted 14 Apr 2007 under Bush Man Date, Corruption, Podium Spin

    I’ve had it up to here with reports which blandly describe Paul Wolfowitz as getting “personally involved in securing a large pay rise and promotion” for Shaha Riza. He wasn’t just “personally involved” in a minor transgression kind of way. He flagrantly and blatantly took charge of the promotion-and-pay-raise decision. He unilaterally ordered the [...]

  8. Strange Days Posted 15 Sep 2006 under '06/'08 Campaigns, Ahhhnold: Turd, Bad Dems

    “I wouldn’t urinate down his throat if his heart was on fire.” – James Carville on Nader When Jason and I started this site in 2003, two things drove us: the Bush administration’s mis-governance and the gubernatorial recall election in California. With our state still dealing with the fallout from the 2000 energy crisis, brought [...]

  9. A Conspiracy Theory Posted 12 Sep 2006 under War on Terror

    I’m going to take a leaf out of President Bush’s book, and write a totally non-political post. It will only focus on 9/11 and TWAT and keeping our country safe, nothing about politics will intrude at all. If I had a Press Secretary, I would turn over the keyboard to her for a [...]
