Sep 02 · "These people have a Ph.D in lying and a master's degree in manipulating intelligence. And it is, it's really sobering to see this kind of brash historical revisionism happening in real time. The idea that these people want to post some kind of false flag of victory on the corpses of all who have died in Iraq because of their decisions. These people destabilized Iraq, they destabilized the Middle East, with their neo-con vision of redrawing maps, and they didn't even succeed in their own stated
Sep 01 · That was said by , in another thread. He is exactly right. We are witnessing it right now. We are being required to accept things that Democrats have never traditionally supported.
It is catching many of us off-guard and throwing us off balance more and more.
We all know that George Bush did not tell us the truth about Iraq. The media was on board with his goal of invasion of a sovereign country. We talked a lot here then about the seeming militant "drumbeat". The day that the new
Sep 01 · If you had to quit work, because diabetes destroyed your eyesight, you don’t count.
If your multinational corporation has run into a cash flow problem and will not be able to pay executive bonuses, you are too big to fail.
There is a two year waiting period before folks who are deemed “too sick to work” can qualify for health insurance. That is why Henry, 54, who was fired after a diabetic hemorrhage wrecked his eyes, can not get any help with the chronic infection in his right leg. He

I cannot and will not turn the page until George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and the others in that cabal of scorpions are brought to justice and make amends for Iraq. Which means never. No apology, much less time in the slam. I'll go to my grave knowing Bush and the rest got away with it. In a couple of months, Bush hopes hundreds of thousands of Americans will be turning the pag

Palin does not always treat those ordinary people well, however—it depends on who is watching. Of the many famous people who have stayed at the Hyatt in Wichita (Cher, Reba McEntire, Neil Young), Sarah Palin ranks as the all-time worst tipper: $5 for seven bags. But the bellhops had it good in Kansas, compared with the bellman at another midwestern hotel who waited up until past midnight for Palin and her entourage to check in—and then got no

I just read the presidents big speech tonight and it struck me. There were some key lines left out of the speech. You may have had the same response. For the sake of clarity and fairness, I've tried to reconstruct the missing lines. I'm sure that the omissions were just an accident. Or maybe that Robert Gibbs is up to his old tricks again. My insertions are in italics. They follow the president's words from the official White House transcript. White House, August 31, 2010 Here goes.

What is the reason Simpson & his gang of thieves are so fond of saying with regard to the $2.5 trillion in Treasury bonds by the SS Trust Fund, but not with regard to the $4 trillion in Treasury bonds held by Chinese, Saudi & other foreign bondholders?
(The whole purpose of issuing the bonds was, of course, to borrow funds to spend, with repayment guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States.)
But the reason the RW wants to permanently default on the bond holdings of
Sep 01 · What a shameful thing to do. This was the Central Falls, RI school in which all the teachers were fired because the school was low-performing. It did not matter if they were good teachers, it did not matter that this was a high poverty area. They just fired them.
This was a high-degree of humiliation for them....having their names called out like naughty children.
Some of them are back at work this year, but they do not yet have a contract. That means they care enough about their wor

They told me the big black Lab's name was Reggie, as I looked at him lying in his pen.. The shelter was clean, no-kill, and the people really friendly. I'd only been in the area for six months, but everywhere I went in the small college town, people were welcoming and open. Everyone waves when you pass them on the street.
But something was still missing as I attempted to settle in to my new life here, and I thought a dog couldn't hurt. Give me someone to t

Aug 31 · The U.S. Declaration of Independence provides the whole rationale for the existence of the United States of America as a sovereign nation. Central to that rationale are the inalienable rights that all U.S. citizens (and other people as well) should have, as well as the simple fact that it is the purpose of government to secure those rights. The whole core of the rationale of the existence of our nation is laid out in the first part of the second paragraph of :
