Concerning Alberto Gonzales' Resignation

August 28, 2007

I was away from my computer all day yesterday and wouldn't you know it? Lots of, what appear on the surface, important news. Of course, Alberto Gonzales stepping down seems the most significant.

Once Bitten, Twice Shy?

August 27, 2007

Following up on my post about The Commander Guy's profound grasp of Vietnam history, read these comments by "White House aides"…. "White House aides speaking on background insist Bush, who even made a curious reference to Graham Greene's classic novel of American misguided idealism, The Quiet American, was not trying to 'relitigate the Vietnam war.'

Following In The Footsteps Of The Soviets

August 26, 2007

When billions and billions of military-industrial complex dollars are on the line, could there be anything more important than getting Congress to keep up the status quo by voting to keep that tax money flowing? Heavens no. Profits ARE America's top priority. When military industrial capitalists get a $10 billion a month gravy train going…..well….do [...]

America's Real God: Profits

August 26, 2007

The Republican candidates for president, to the man, reject all universal, single payer health care plans proposed by progressives. Some of the Democratic candidates reject these plans as well.

Hey, I didn't say it….this guy did….not the guy in the picture…this guy… Retired Lieut. General William Odom was director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan from 1985 to 1988.

The Criticism of Barak Obama

August 25, 2007

Critics of Obama just couldn't wag their heads enough when Barak spoke of going after Bin Laden without Pakistan's approval. You know, sovereignty and all. Here are Obama's actual words…. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and president [...]

Glenn Greenwald has become a very influential blogger and author all within the last year and a half or so. Some have been using the name Glennzilla, of late, to describe him because of his take no prisoners style. The Reverend suggests Greenwald is the BEST current writer in the blogosphere. He has an uncanny [...]

Fill The Bong With Water, Crumble The Constitution….

August 24, 2007

As the miscreant neo-conservatives got high toking on the bong packed with the Constitution last week, they started to hyper-chat (while munching on Fritos) about their victory over American freedom. Would the virtual neutering of FISA, carried out so deceptively by these neo-con stoners, be enough to allow the Stoner-in-Chief (SIC) to spy in a [...]
