I’m going to be investigating a new theme template and the possibility of activating comments and other features which I had disabled in this theme when I installed it. It won’t happen immediately, unless I get a burst of wanting to stay up until 3 am a couple of nights, but I’m on the [...]
The rules are obviously different if you are a Republican. If you are a Republican you can commit treason, betray your country’s security by revealing classified intelligence information to the enemy, bribe Congessmen, commit fraud and any number of other offenses.
But heaven forbid if you are a Democrat who gets a blowjob…
This pretty much [...]
Well, now it seems we’re pimping Iran as the next great danger to the world. Let’s not forget that prior to GWBush Iran was actually moving towards a more open and moderate society and government. However, with the advent of the hyperventilating hate rhetoric emanating from the bush administration the hardliners in Iran [...]
Now this is a great rant, especially coming on the heels of a post about Dean, who at least has a backbone. It’s by Georgie10 over at DailyKos.
Democrats can either surrender this government to a party which seeks to destroy it, or we can take Lincoln’s advice and play our available cards. To [...]
Wow, Howard Dean stands up to the bullshit talking point lines being parroted by Wolf Blitzer and once stripped of his talking point script by Dean, Blitzer forgets completely that he’s even a journalist and just sighs with disappointment that Dean won’t play his game by the rules written for him by the RNC [...]

Welcome to Talk Nation Radio, a half hour discussion on politics, human rights, and the environment. I’m Dori Smith
Political and national security policy analyst Gareth Porter joins us this time to talk about two recent stories. A December 15th piece on US politics in Iraq. He says the U.S. No Longer seeks the Defeat [...]
OK, I don’t usually recommend pay sites or ones where you have to wade through an advertisement first but there is an article on Salon by Wil Wheaton (yes, that Wil Wheaton) which points out the real war on Christmas and on America’s families and culture being waged by O’Reilly, Gibson and the rest of [...]
Yikes. I know the NYTimes has a not all that well-deserved reputation as a hotbed of liberal obstructionism (though the editorial page is more liberal than the news pages) but today’s editorial reads like it could have been written by longstanding opponents of this administration, not by a newspaper that has done more enabling [...]
This is how the Bush administration supports the troops and their families.
There’s controversy over how the military is transporting the bodies of service members killed overseas, 10News reported.
A local family said fallen soldiers and Marines deserve better and that one would think our war heroes are being transported with dignity, care and respect. It said [...]
Today’s Op-Ed by General Wesley Clark in the NYTimes.
While the Bush administration and its critics escalated the debate last week over how long our troops should stay in Iraq, I was able to see the issue through the eyes of America’s friends in the Persian Gulf region. The Arab states agree on one thing: Iran [...]
Debunking the Myths: Our (Bush’s) National Strategy for Victory in Iraq
Welcome to Talk Nation Radio
David Swanson, joins us today to talk about the increasing debate about bringing US troops home from Iraq. David Swanson is the co-founder of the After Downing Street Coalition. He was the press secretary for the Denis Kucinich for President [...]
CNN’s headline online as I write this “Near tears, crooked congressman resigns“
The true face of today’s Republican Party is now coming to light. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The entire Abramoff scandal has yet to really hit home but there may very well be more than a few involuntary Republican [...]

An ~Uncut~Transcript of an hour long Talk Nation Radio Interview with Conn Hallinan, a foreign policy analyst for Foreign PolicyIn Focus and lecturer in journalism at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Foreign policy analyst and scholar Conn Hallinan assesses the world wide impact of Neoconservative leaders and talks about his recent articles. [...]
A rather interesting proposal from Barry in TheWar forum:
I’m always sad to see the “We broke it, we fix (or own) it” rationale for our continuing presence in Iraq. A better analogy would be “We broke it, so let’s stomp it into unrecognizable shards”.
I’d like to offer an alternative. We’re so insistent on the election [...]
Leonard Pitts on Bush’s outlandish “we don’t torture” claim/lie.
Well, I guess that settles that.
“We do not torture,” President Bush said on Monday. Never mind all those torture pictures from Abu Ghraib. Never mind all those torture stories from Guantanamo Bay. Never mind the 2002 Justice Department memo that sought to justify torture. Never mind reports [...]
Josh Marshall boils down the multitudinous lies of George Bush concerning the invasion of Iraq rather nicely here.
1. Longstanding effort to convince the American people that Iraq maintained ties to al Qaida and may have played a role in 9/11. This was always just a plain old lie. (And if you want to see where [...]
Dick Cheney has done more to undermine the safety of this country and the stability of the world in his long political career than any other Vice-President in history. And let’s remember, he’s the one running the show, not Bush, which is why calls to impeach Bush strike me as ludicrous.
This article by James [...]
Since Michael Parenti says right off the bat that this can be distributed and posted at will I’ll take him at his word and post the entire thing here. Here’s the link to the original.
Dear Friends
Here is a ZNet Commentary that appeared awhile ago. Please feel free to circulate and post. Best [...]
This needs to be said and repeated until someone begins to get it. Thanks to Hunter at the DailyKos
Having Ann Coulter on your network debating the “meaning” of the Fitzgerald investigation isn’t relevant. It isn’t useful. It’s like watching a dog crap to music. There’s some percentage of the country that would probably tune [...]
