CPAC'ers Love Dick

February 19, 2010

Conservatives are meeting this weekend. It's time again for the annual CPAC (conservative political action committee) convention. If I'm not mistaken, last year's CPAC convention had Rush Limbaugh as it's keynote speaker. It seems that this year's convention will mark the return of Bush-Cheney to the good graces of the conservative movement, if indeed, they [...]

Cheney's Shadow Government In 10th Year

February 15, 2010

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. At the beginning of 2009, the 9th year of the Cheney 'shadow' administration, we saw still-vice-president Dick Cheney and his newly appointed Sec. of State, daughter Liz [...]

New 9-11 News

November 27, 2009

The 9-11 tragedy has been in the news recently because of the announcement by the Obama administration that the U.S. would try a handful of 9-11 conspirators in New York City. Hours of quivering-bunny style reporting has been the result of that announcement. As usual, many conservative politicians have been given ample media time to [...]

Torture Defenders: Self-Deceived Or Gullible?

August 31, 2009

My blog buddy King last week…. What our media hasn't bothered to tell you is that the early interrogation and Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EIT's) used against terrorist monsters like al-Nashiri, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, and Abu Zubaydah worked, just like former VP Dick Cheney said they did. Cheney was ridiculed endlessly for saying that, but the [...]

Overwhelming Evidence

July 12, 2009

A week ago we learned about new evidence confirming that Richard Cheney directed the Bush administration's disclosure of Valerie Plame's covert CIA status….. A document filed in federal court this week by the Justice Department offers new evidence that former vice president Richard B.

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 [...]

Distractions For The Gullible

May 30, 2009

How "reality" is created in 21st century America… The aide said that guys like me (author, Ron Susskind) were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut [...]

President O-bush-a

May 23, 2009

First, let me state without reservation or qualification, that having Barack Obama as President is a far superior situation for America than if John McCain, with his full-throated, neo-conservative military and foreign policy ideology, were guiding the ship of state. That said….not only has Obama followed Bush/Cheney footprints on state secrets, transparency, and, now, indefinite [...]

Bush/Cheney Worse Terrorists Than Bin Laden

May 13, 2009

Why Bush/Cheney chose to torture….. The military agency that provided advice on harsh interrogation techniques for use against terrorism suspects referred to the application of extreme duress as "torture" in a July 2002 document sent to the Pentagon's chief lawyer and warned that it would produce "unreliable information." What "unreliable information" did Bush/Cheney want produced? [...]

How Many Americans Must Die For Bush?

May 6, 2009

Philip Gourevitch of The New Yorker writes… "When one of the prisoners resisted, (Corporal Charles) Graner later told Army investigators, “I bashed him against the wall.” Running hooded prisoners into walls was also standard practice at Abu Ghraib, but this prisoner fell to the floor, and blood ran out from under his hood, and a [...]
