Downing Street Is For Liars / Why isn't the media screaming about the latest proofs of Bush's war scams? Don't you know?: "We are now, instead, focused on endurance. On gritting teeth and getting through and getting the hell out of this new Vietnam Bush has imbecilically driven us into, all while surviving 3.5 more years of one of the most abusive, secretive cadres of warmongering leadership in American history.

Bush's WMD 'Joke': Is the Media Still Laughing?: "Bush's WMD 'Joke': Is the Media Still Laughing?
A brief comment at a forum in Washington this week resurrects one of the most shameful episodes in recent media history: The night a roomful of journalists laughed along with a president making fun of the bogus threat that led to a costly war.

By Greg Mitchell

(June 18, 2005) -- Dana Milbank of The Washington Post, in a column on Friday, suggested that the congressional forum the previous day on the Downing Street memos was something of a joke. In his opening sentence he declared that House Democrats took a trip to the land of make-believe in pretending that the basement conference room was actually a real hearing room, even importing a few American flags to make it look more official."

Army says VX spill is no big deal

So what's a little spill like 30 gallons of VX when a single drop is "so lethal a single drop could kill a person in minutes ". I wonder how big a deal it would have been if it had taken place in Washington, D.C. Being out here in jesusland and about 60 miles downwind makes it A GODDAMN BIG DEAL TO ME.
Army says VX spill was contained, neutralized: "so lethal a single drop could kill a person in minutes "

Don't Follow the Money - Frank Rich

Don't Follow the Money - New York Times: "Only once during the Deep Throat rollout did I see a palpable, if perhaps unconscious, effort to link the White House of 1972 with that of 2005. It occurred at the start, when ABC News, with the first comprehensive report on Vanity Fair's scoop, interrupted President Bush's post-Memorial Day Rose Garden news conference to break the story. Suddenly the image of the current president blathering on about how hunky-dory everything is in Iraq was usurped by repeated showings of the scene in which the newly resigned Nixon walked across the adjacent White House lawn to the helicopter that would carry him into exile. "

They Won't Go - New York Times

It's time for those in the Congress to start offering up their sons and daughters as cannon fodder for the bush preemptive war. Perhaps then there would be a quick withdrawal from Iraq and and the focus put on impeachment proceedings of the monsters who started it.
They Won't Go - New York Times: "There's something frankly embarrassing about a government offering trinkets to children to persuade them to go off and fight - and perhaps die - in a war that their nation should never have started in the first place."

I'M IN CHARGE, even if I have to hammer the gavel, walk out, and turn off the mikes. What pieces of shit we have running this country!!  

t r u t h o u t - William Rivers Pitt | Dean Was Right

These Dean statements also, coincidentally, whip the Democratic base into a roaring frenzy as they hear an actual Democratic leader speak their beliefs out loud and in public.
t r u t h o u t - William Rivers Pitt | Dean Was Right: "The answer is straightforward, and appropriately bold after several years of ineffective limp-noodle Democratic leadership. Every time Dean fires off one of his salvos, reporters flip open their notebooks. Headlines get made, discussion begins, and a whole lot of people start debating the facts and merits of his statements. Is the Republican leadership run by right-wing yahoos? Is DeLay going to jail? Controversy begets press. Dean can see, as well as anyone else, how effective the moderate, soft-touch, treading-lightly approach has been working lately for the Democrats. "

Panel Chairman Leaves Hearing

Global Warmin' Is Fer Idjuts / Exxon writes America's energy policy, BushCo chops up emissions reports. Is there any hope at all?

Global Warmin' Is Fer Idjuts / Exxon writes America's energy policy, BushCo chops up emissions reports. Is there any hope at all?: "This, as we all now know, is the BushCo way. They lie about environmental devastation, going so far as to hire known skeptics of global warming to testify in court against piles of data compiled by thousands of world-class scientists the world over that prove the obvious direness of the threat. "

The Mobility Myth

Sadly no such ingredients are evident in the new amerikan proletariat. They are a burger-bloated, pepsi-swilling, chat-show-watching, scratch-card-scratching mob of losers and suckers who actually think that the rich standing on their shoulders got there through that mythical "amerikan dream" avenue.
The Mobility Myth - New York Times: "The privileged classes, with the Bush administration's iron cloak of protection, avoid their fair share of taxes, are reluctant to pay an honest dollar for an honest day's work (the federal minimum wage is still a scandalous $5.15 an hour), refuse to fight in their nation's wars, and laugh all the way to their yachts."

U.S. Faults 4 Allies Over Forced Labor

Truth and Deceit

Now, with George W. Bush in charge, the nation is mired in yet another tragic period marked by incompetence, duplicity, bad faith and outright lies coming once again from the very top of the government. Just last month we had the disclosure of a previously secret British government memorandum that offered further confirmation that the American public and the world were spoon-fed bogus information by the Bush administration in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.


Truth and Deceit - New York Times: "Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, drunk with power and insufficiently restrained, took the nation on hair-raising journeys that were as unnecessary as they were destructive. Now, in the first years of the 21st century, George W. Bush is doing the same."
