do you have pin-up Tiger Beat pics of George W on your wall at home. Come on, admit it. You do, right? Why, of course I do. Don't you have pin-ups of George Clooney and Jane Fonda? Is this question for real? I have one laminated Bush/Cheney ad I made in 2000 standing on a top shelf against the wall...

Oscarguy, this continued re-writing of history has got to stop from all people who parrot the same lame argument. Yes, WMD was the main reason the President spoke of before we went, but not the only one. It wasn't mythic at the time, only in hindsight. This is just a fact. The few people who were a...

I have no problem with the routine in and of itself (tho I disagree with its sentiments), but it wasn't the right venue for it really. The President's own routine with Steve Bridges was actually amusing and self-deprecating. I think this is why the press has been more eager to broadcast that segmen...

Since my post wouldn't allow more than two quotes, i will post my third here again. President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his int...

I agree that the $100 relief isn't the best idea, but I wouldn't exactly call it a "bribe." You would if it were the Democrats offering it during an election year. And you'd be right. Forget what you think it is. What would giving money to all Americans (regardless of the pretence) during...

I agree that the $100 relief isn't the best idea, but I wouldn't exactly call it a "bribe." -- I found this in response to that poll that was posted a while back, I think by Damien. Friday, April 28, 2006 The Problem with Lists of the Worst Presidents You might have heard that Sean Wilent...

At times like this, it's fun to recall criddic's prediction that Bush would become a beloved figure in his second term. I said I hoped his approvals would continue to rise. I didn't say he would become "beloved." However, I do think you guys are jumping the gun on this one. There are 3 ye...

I disagree with your analogy of the Roman Empire. I don't think we have an truly imperialistic goals in the Middle East, but obviously there have long been problems in that region that would've sooner or later been dealt with. The difference is in the timing, which is why we are there in the first ...

"Follow" is a bit misleading and condescending, but yes in a sense. I believe the likelihood of attacks on our country and others would increase if we were to leave without succeeding in Iraq. In addition, I think we would lose far more credibility worldwide in such a scenario. Somehow, y...

former CIA Director George Tenet delivered the information personally to US President George W Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and other top White House officials in September 2002. They rebuffed the CIA three days later. according to CBS. Yeah. Isn't that wonderful!? The same network that started...

Al-Maliki New P.M. Designate for Iraq; Talabani Elected to 2nd Term Saturday , April 22, 2006 BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq's president formally designated Shiite politician Jawad al-Maliki to form a new government Saturday, starting a process aimed at healing ethnic and religious wounds and pulling the nat...

C.I.A. Fires Senior Officer Over Leaks By DAVID JOHNSTON and SCOTT SHANE WASHINGTON, April 21 — The Central Intelligence Agency has dismissed a senior career officer for disclosing classified information to reporters, including material for Pulitzer Prize-winning articles in The Washington Post abo...

I think that during a time of war, it's IMPERATIVE for the people to know what liberties are being breached. You can't have a government keeping secrets from its people. Especially if that means that their freedoms are being curbed when the government is supposedly fighting FOR our freedoms. Taking...

Oh I don't think he "piously" invokes God. He is a religious person. That's not a bad thing. Even Clinton referred to God fairly frequently in speeches. Some people think that separation of church and state requires a President not to speak of his beliefs. I don't believe that. Jefferson ...
