I just can’t believe anyone is taking Sarah Palin seriously any more. In picking Palin for his running mate, it looks like John McCain was trying to appeal to women voters and “just plain folks.” And initially, his strategy appeared to work. It gave him a good boost in the polls. A young, vibrant woman…

It’s hard to imagine one man creating so much havoc, but George W. Bush really takes the cake. In just a little under eight years, he’s managed to: Ruin our economy, plunging the United States into the worst recession since the Great Depression; Take us to war against Iraq for no good reason at all…

I would like to protest the Bush administration’s proposed $700 billion bailout of the financial industry. What Secretary Paulson is asking for is a blank check – no controls, no real plan no nothing. And that, coming from the Bush administration is laughable. Perhaps they can contract out the reconstruction of our financial industry to…

Jim McDermott Does It Again Seattle (AP) – Riding the success of his revelations of a cell phone conversation featuring former Speaker of The House, Newt Gingrich, Congressman Jim McDermott (D – Seattle) today made public the transcript of a new cell phone conversation – this one between President George W.

Oil company executives sitting in front of congress, answering questions about why gas prices are so high, and explaining away their record profits. “Well we’re really only making pennies on the dollar. The profits aren’t really that high.”  “We don’t have any control over gasoline prices. The prices…

A Puppet Government In Iraq Equals Disaster for the US “The will of the people… is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.” —Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Waring, 1801.

Hillary vs. Barack The past few weeks, it’s really been getting to me how much the different candidates – from the same party – beat each other up. I have to admit that when the republicans do it, I tend to think it’s cute. Gee, let’s watch the stupid conservatives self-destruct… It’s a great spectator…
