The fact that Blackwater mercenaries may have lost control and fired indiscriminently at citizens in Iraq is not surprising. They are, after all, hired killers. It's what they were trained to do. It's what, no doubt, a lot of them look forward to doing. After all, training is one [...]
Larry Craig Stiffens His Resolve
OK. Cheap shot. But by going back on his word and failing to resign from that once-august body known as the U.S. Senate,Larry Craig deserves our derision. Craig is guilty. He admitted it. There is no wiggle room. OK. Sorry. Another cheap shot. Now he [...]Al Franken, the comedian-cum-candidate said it best; Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot.
This flabby man-mountain has made a mountain of money appealing to the baser instincts of our nation's citizenry. And now, when he trashes "phony soldiers" who might dare think a [...]
I don't blame this company for what they've done. They hire and train killers and thugs. Hell, that's probably on their "Vision Statement."
No, what's pathetic is that we've out-sourced our security to third-party mercenaries. And, unlike Verizon call centers in Bangalore, this' [...]
It's been a long time since I've said "Hi." It's not that I haven't had something to say, it's just that elements of the real world have interceded and left me without the time necessary to post anything I thought was cogent enough.
Now, not much has changed.' [...]
Got an email tonight from the Edwards campaign.
From where I sit, he might as well have slipped on a helmet and gone off to drive a tank. His race for President, if it didn't end on "60 Minutes," is surely over now.
The email was related to the VT shootings...and' [...]
The John and Elizabeth Edwards Show on "60 Minutes" was, to my mind, a bit odd.
It was half confessional, half evangelical. And not in a religious, right-wing sense. Both husband and wife seemed determined to turn this human tragedy into some sort of odd political "opportunity." The way [...]
It's the latest hot GOP talking point. John McCain is particularly fond of it. Problem is - it's both wrong and wrong.
If the Dems were attempting to micro-manage the war in Iraq, they'd be making decisions about what zones to patrol and what number of troops should be deployed tonight in Fallujah.' [...]
Ann Coulter knows how to get attention in our ADHD world; just be outrageous. Say whatever comes into your mind. Use whatever epithet will get the biggest laugh. It's a simple formula that works every time.
It certainly worked at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where she used what she' [...]
Just days after the swearing-in of the new, improved Congress, while frosh legislators bumble around the Longworth building looking for suitable potties and Coke machines, Santorum has already moved on! Yup,' [...]
In the classic sports movie "Hoosiers," the coach, played by Gene Hackman says, "It's way past big speech time" as his unlikely small town athletes prepare for their final game.
And so it goes with the Bush administration. We're all past big speech time. Nothing more GWB can say [...]
I just heard over the Christmas holiday that a relative of my wife is being dragged off to Iraq. By all accounts, this young man is not happy. He was one of those tweeners who could have either, a) ended up in jail or b) entered the military to [...]
A recent article in the New York Times noted that Speaker Pelosi and others were working hard to help retain freshman Democratic legislators, even though they haven't yet been officially sworn in! This is a wonderful move, and though Rahm Emmanuel is no longer head of the D-triple-C, it' [...]
