Bush White House

How The Village Thinks

July 17, 2009

Popular blogger Glenn Greenwald interviewed NBC's political news director, Chuck Todd, yesterday. (Transcript here) The topic of discussion was why the Bush administration should or should not be investigated for numerous crimes….and what role the media should play in the debate.
I must hand it to Chuck Todd for braving such an interview. Todd is basically [...]

A Steaming Pile Of The Village

July 16, 2009

The Washington Post's David Ignatius is a personal case study in what's wrong down in the Village. Again the AB Journal gives Ignatius top billing on it's op-ed page….and again, Ignatius lays down the isolated and rotted Village mindset.
If the U.S. federal government, according to Ignatius, holds it's agencies, like the CIA, accountable for it's [...]

The Rogue Bush White House

July 11, 2009

If you don't read Glenn Greenwald's blog at Salon.com regularly…..I highly recommend doing so. I have been reading Greenwald for a few years. He is a constitutional lawyer with a razor sharp writing style that's easy for laypeople, like me, to follow. Of all print media, Greenwald's blog ranks 9th in a list of the [...]

Parties in northeast Ohio are scheduled for Cleveland, Canton and Ravenna.
Here's a message from the Canton Tea Party organizers……

Justice Sacrificed For The Obama Agenda

June 18, 2009

I've been frustrated with President Obama's resistance to investigate and prosecute the numerous war crimes and disgraceful violations of national and international law by the Bush/Cheney administration. Obama's "looking forward" justification for this resistance, however, is akin to looking straight ahead after running over a person in the street. Wouldn't want to "look back"…..simply too [...]

Pride In The President, Part 2

June 7, 2009

Today I continue with Part 2 of my appraisal of President Obama's speech from Cairo, Egypt….
To those Muslims in Hamas, Hizbollah, al-Qaeda, or Iran,…Obama spoke honestly and directly about Israel…
Six million Jews were killed – more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless, ignorant, and hateful. Threatening Israel with [...]

Distractions For The Gullible

May 30, 2009

How "reality" is created in 21st century America…

I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me [...]

"I Think People Should Be Afraid"

May 26, 2009

Updated below
From NBC's "Press the Meat", aka, "Meet the Press", this past Sunday…
The Republican Party's "idea man", Mr. Newton Gingrich…..
"Let me just say, I think people should be afraid. I think the lesson of 1993, the first time they bombed the World Trade Center, was fear is probably appropriate. I think the lesson [...]
