Still Clinging To Voodoo

December 22, 2007

Junior Bush took time for a press conference before the holiday break. The presser was a veritable treasure trove for progressive bloggers. Perhaps that's why he took the time……who really knows with this guy? Junior explained more of his "faith-based initiatives", this time telling reporters and teevee viewers about his deep trust in the dark [...]

The Injustice Department

December 21, 2007

Cluttering up the Bush administration crime table top this week has been the gang rape story by Kellogg Brown and Root employees of the young American woman working inside of Iraq, the willful destruction of torture tapes by the CIA after having been ordered not to do so, and the ongoing clamor for the granting [...]

62 Times 7

December 20, 2007

Yesterday, Harry Reid (D-NV), as well as other Democratic leaders, spoke about the session of the Congress just ending. 62 times in just this year alone, Republicans have filibustered Democratic attempts to move the nation forward. While I will not apologize for the many moments of Democratic refusal to fight to the political death this [...]

The War Against Ancient Pagan Winter Solstice Celebrations

December 19, 2007

Disclaimer: The Reverend is one person who enjoys this time of year. The following, while based entirely on facts, is meant to be humorous. Please do not take offense. It is not intended as a personal attack against Christians or Christianity. Many well-meaning folks, and some that aren't, believe that the Christian holiday, Christmas, is [...]

High Crimes

December 19, 2007

Of course the White House knew about the CIA's torture tapes. The White House, ultimately, ordered the destruction of those tapes. How silly to think otherwise. At least four top White House lawyers took part in discussions with the Central Intelligence Agency between 2003 and 2005 about whether to destroy videotapes showing the secret interrogations [...]

Beacon Editors Remain Silent

December 18, 2007

Why would the Akron Beacon Journal refuse to cover the story about yesterday's important U.S. Senate debate over spying on Americans? Why no mention of what happened at all? Nothing. Not even a small print blurb in their nation section. The debate took place during most of the day, not in the middle of the [...]

Some Live Blogging Today From FISA Senate Debate

December 17, 2007

Arlen Specter(R-PA) says he wants to substitute the government in the place of telco companies in the pending lawsuits concerning illegal wiretapping of American citizens. The reason is clear. He knows Bush's White House will stonewall, using national security and executive privilege excuses as it has done consistently for the last 7 years. Specter knows [...]

Ron Paul Report

December 17, 2007

Conservatives and independents are flocking to Ron Paul's candidacy for president, at least with their money….. Well, it looks like Ron Paul, the 10-term Republican congressman from Texas with the libertarian ideas, and his brave band of fervent followers have broken their own one-day online fundraising record.… As of shortly after midnight Sunday Pacific time, [...]

Criminals Hiding In Plain Sight

December 17, 2007

I noticed the Beacon yesterday edited part of the New York Times article on the Bush/Cheney illegal eavesdropping racket. This portion of the article clears up any arguments still remaining about whether or not the illegality was necessary because of 9-11. A lawsuit was filed in federal court in New Jersey challenging the agency’s wiretapping [...]

Update On Huckabee And Iowa

December 16, 2007

In a previous post I had mentioned that Mike Huckabee's poll numbers had soared soon after Mitt Romney's speech on religion. It seemed to me that Iowa evangelicals had made their decision to caucus with Huckabee, a former successful evangelical preacher, at about the same time as Romney's speech. Huckabee now leads Romney in Iowa [...]
