A Hot Oily Substance Greets Pombo In Hell

Saddam: Let's now charge the accomplices
Why isn't Donald Rumsfeld being charged?

In December 1983, Rumsfeld was in Baghdad to signal America's approval of Iraq's aggression against Iran. Rumsfeld was back in Baghdad on 24 March 1984, the day that the United Nations reported that Iraq had used mustard gas laced with a nerve agent against Iranian soldiers. Rumsfeld said nothing......more

McGovern says Dems need to end Iraq war

If Democrats don't take steps to end the war in Iraq soon, they won't be in power very long, McGovern told reporters before a planned speech at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. "I think the Democratic leadership is wise enough to know that if they're going to follow the message that election sent, they're going to have to take steps to bring the war to a conclusion,".....more

Scott Cochran's
Letter to the Tribune: A Step Backward

On Tuesday, America took a step forward while Florida, and Tampa Bay in particular, took a step backward. It's as if a new leadership across the United States is pulling the country into the 21st century, while Florida voters are still trying to drag us back to the 19th. Particularly puzzling is that Ronda Storms will actually be a part of our state government, no doubt pushing the same old gay-bashing, anti-science, hard-right social agenda.
And people in U.S. House District 9 should be downright embarrassed to be sending Gus Bilirakis, who can barely understand the simplest issues or organize a coherent thought, to Washington. If we don't want to be viewed by the rest of the country as a bunch of backward simpletons, we have a lot of work to do. 2008 starts now.

Howard Dean April 17, 2003

When Congress approved the President’s authorization to go to war in Iraq – no matter how well-intentioned – it was giving the green light to the President to set his Doctrine of preemptive war in motion. It now appears that Iraq was just the first step. Already, the Bush Administration is apparently eyeing Syria and Iran as the next countries on its target list. The Bush Doctrine must be stopped here.....more

Harris' House seat appears headed for recount

As They Listen For An Echo, I Hear Only A Roar

This is the beginning of the end of Bushism. The near-end of “rollback” as an ideology. The end of blowing up countries for the sheer thrill of it. Republicans weep tonight not for their actual losses but because they know they’ll not have a blank check again for perhaps a generation......more
