Frightening Thought: A 3rd Bush Term

August 18, 2008

Setting aside for now the far right Supreme judges a president John McCain would pick…..the Arizona senator's most disturbing quality is his neo-conservatism. The phony ambivalence we've seen and heard when McCain addresses the issue of George W. Bush should be a red flag to voters. Without doubt, the evidence demonstrates that McCain supported virtually [...]

Neo-Con Lobbyist For Neo-Con McCain

August 15, 2008

My friends, let me give you some straight talk.
The GOP presidential candidate, John McCain, not the sharpest utility blade in the pack, takes advice, mostly, from lobbyists. Lobbyists like Randy Scheunemann.

Invading Other Nations

August 14, 2008

John McCain…."In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations."
We're only 8 years into the 21st century. Not that much history to remember, even for a 72 year old cancer victim like McCain. A little over 5 years ago, John McCain and a host of other neo-cons, joined by the uninformed and the duped…..voted to [...]

August 10, 2008

My. OH. My.
Not from Ron Susskind's new book, "The Way of the World", but, instead, The American Conservative….

The Anthrax Story, Part 2

August 3, 2008

If you haven't read Part 1, do so now.
On October 12, 2001 ABC News reported this about the anthrax letter attacks…
"While investigators said a criminal attack would more likely have spread anthrax through the building, they also say the strain of lab-isolated bacteria found almost certainly rules out a lone crackpot."
On October 16, 2001 [...]

How Did We Get Into Such A Mess?

July 26, 2008

It's good every now and then to review where we are and how we arrived here.
Reviewing always helps in gaining, or regaining, one's perspective.
I've chosen a former Reagan Republican to help with today's review. And not just any old Reagan Republican either…but instead, one who has survived the usually fatal virus of conservative [...]

July 22, 2008

If John McCain and George W. Bush's escalation plan for Iraq in January 2007, moronically tagged "the surge", has worked or is working or whatthehellever….why this?…..

These same militaristic minded proponents argued that America had "won" by defeating the Taliban, despite the fact that most of the top Bin Laden [...]
