Same Old...

May as well be the demise of the entire main stream media.

Every day I see stories which should jump to any one's front page but slip away to obscurity while the propaganda message reigns supreme.

For example today...

Oh.... We're Feeling Something Alright

Gadzooks! Another Caturday

Awesome indeed.

Barack's barely stepped off the plane in Afghanistan and Iraq's Maliki has already stated that he supports Obama's plan to get U.S. troops out within 16 months!

Bush Imperial Presidency

House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers trying to keep it brief next week... 1) improper politicization of the Justice Department and the U.S. Attorneys offices, including potential misuse of authority with regard to election and voting controversies;

(2) misuse of executive branch authority and the adoption and implementation of the so-called unitary executive theory, including in the areas of presidential signing statements and regulatory authority;

(3) misuse of investigatory and detention authority with regard to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals, including questions regarding the legality of the administration’s surveillance, detention, interrogation, and rendition programs;

(4) manipulation of intelligence and misuse of war powers, including possible misrepresentations to Congress related thereto;

(5) improper retaliation against administration critics, including disclosing information concerning CIA operative Valerie Plame, and obstruction of justice related thereto; and (6) misuse of authority in denying Congress and the American people the ability to oversee and scrutinize conduct within the administration, including through the use of various asserted privileges and immunities.

Lost Values

On the John

Countdown: War Crimes Prosecutions Possible

McSame Cartoons

The party of family values, in sheep's clothing, doing everything imaginable to destroy family values, Jesus and America too...

Exactly...Pelosi has been so committed to ignoring Bush crimes in her get elected first myopia.......I'm sure this look the other way policy is going to come back and haunt any relevance to the rule of law...ya...what the hell was that thing all about?

There is an increasing sense of concern over McInsane's judgement....he says completely inappropriate things in front of the media that remind me of W but with better grammar.

No new sense of urgency here...there is a clinical name for this.......cognitive dissonance...or more simply put...crazy?

Winding Down the Great Evil Empire

Those Chinese knew how to get people to talk in North Korea.
It doesn't matter to fascists whether you get the truth or lies from prisoners...everyone seems to feel better torturing people I guess...

Iraq war supporter Christopher Hitchens finally had himself water boarded and says, "believe me, it's torture..."

Surgin Suckcessitude

Summer is the slow time for the porn industry but since Bush's economic stimulus cheques have gone out... there's been a surge in subscriptions to porn web sites.

Another Bush successitude !

Yawnnnnnnn....

Swiftboating McCain???

The man who was in charge of McCain's Vietnam prison considers McCain a friend, they talked at length, he says that he would vote for him if he was an American and he also claims that McCain was never tortured!

Time for some straight talk?

Untold Stories

Still waiting for an explanation for the many held without charges and tortured.

Pwn3d

Cute as only Mr. Fish can be.

I heard a right wing hack on CNN once again point out that it's impossible to catch this guy because he's hiding in a cave. So give Bush a break. Except,he's not in a cave. It's well known that he needs regular kidney dialysis. So, he's not in a cave.

He's obviously in a town in Pakistan that's big enough to have a small hospital.

No one would turn him in, he's a hero through out the Arab world.

Bush can't make a missile strike or he'd kill too many Pakistanis. A country that buys billions in U.S. military goods and has nuclear weapons. Bush=Pawned!!!

Just like Saudi Arabia. Can't hold them responsible for 911 as they are major business partners with the the Bush family business circle. And they buy billions in U.S. military goods. Even the Bin Ladens are good business friends and you can't hold a family responsible for one wayward son?

Which brings us to Iraq. The only country in the M.E. other than Israel that had nothing to do with 911. But they have the most pure, most coveted oil in the world. Close to the ground costing almost nothing to extract, the biggest profits...and before 911 Cheney had his energy task force meeting where he promised the big western oil companies that they'd get into Iraq somehow and divide the oil wealth among them.

Sounds like Dr. Evil but it is coming to pass....

Conspiracy? Many oil companies from China,Russia and everywhere have tried to get access to oil development in Iraq but the big 4 Western companies are the inside guys and......guess what?...NO BID

No bid contracts. It pays to know Bush and Cheney.

Use Big Words... Bush Is Listening

As expected the Dems gave Bush what he wanted today, the power to destroy the 4th amendment and allow complete surveillance of everyone and anyone. Well, they have already been doing that but it was illegal..... but now it's not and wasn't.

You know what's nuts? People who complained that what Bush and the telecoms have been doing is illegal and unconstitutional have been called critics? Pointing out the breaking of the law and constitution makes you a critic !!

Lawless in Amerika

Really, you mean a new dishonest direction?

Last week Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 (yes that's 35) articles of impeachment against Bush.
The House Judiciary Committee is expected to try to ignore them as the Bush clock mercifully runs out on his term in office.
Nancy Pelosi has said repeatedly that impeachment is off the table, fearing a voter back lash in the fall, you know, wasting government time with high crimes and misdemeanors that don't involve sex?
Kucinich is now warning that if his motion is ignored, in 30 days he will introduce another 25 articles of impeachment. Can they ignore 60?

Yes, Bush has broken his oath of office, broken with the Constitution and laws that many times!

My question to Pelosi and all elected Democrats is this...

If you swore to uphold the laws and constitution and a President has violated those laws this many times....what would Bush or any future President have to do to be impeached?

Simple question. What's the answer?

So Long Timmeh

Yes, it's not good to speak ill of the dead...I didn't watch Tim faithfully but I found him unwilling to follow up questions after the initial obfuscation answers from right wing guests.

He'd ask a good question after an excellent in depth lead up, get an elusive answer, pause, then go on to the next one...

I believe the name Timmeh, probably coined at Firedoglake, was a ridicule for being too soft on guests who had much to hide...like that whole CIA Plame leak case that Timmeh was caught up in himself, oh the thrill of being on the inside of secrets until you realise you've taken part in something very wrong, immoral and illegal...
