Must See Teevee

April 6, 2010

I caught a piece of the Dylan Ratigan show yesterday afternoon on MSNBC. He played a classified-but-leaked video from Iraq taken in 2007. Kudos to Ratigan for having the testicular fortitude to air such a controversial video. The video was originally leaked to the website, Wikileaks.org. The video is disturbing. Fair warning and all that. [...]

Republicans still insist that government is the problem. On the heels of the Great Republican Thinker, Newton Gingrich's Contract With/On America….another GOP list with the intent [...]

Here we are beginning the second year of the Obama administration….and it's deja vu all over again. 2010 will mark the 10th year of Dick Cheney's 'shadow' administration.
