Hillary's Hypocrisy
Self-proclaimed "moderate" Democrats, who defend staying in Iraq, like to pretend they are the grown-ups in the argument. In reality, they are like children who have closed their ears to avoid hearing an uncomfortable truth: The longer we've stayed, the worse things have gotten, and that will continue to be the case....more

Florida Hometown DemocracyAnd if Hometown Democracy passes? Then those who want to build things in places in Florida where they weren't originally intended will have to convince the entire community it's a good idea. What a concept!.....more
Dean likens Iraq plight to Vietnam
"The bottom line is that the Republicans don't have a plan," Dean said Saturday in the Democrats' response to the president's weekly radio address. "Corruption and fraud are rampant, and the overall quality of life for the Iraqi people has not improved.".....more

Post-Katrina New Orleans
The rest of the world thinks the crisis in New Orleans is over and that things are getting back to normal. Or, they are sick of hearing stories about what they perceive as a city inhabited by whiners. I guess I am one of those whiners....more

Republicans Reject Minimum Wage Increase
Sen. Mel Martínez should try to live on $10,712 per year ($5.15 an hour). Clearly, based on his recent vote not to raise the minimum wage, he feels that Americans earning that amount can sustain themselves....more

The charges relate to his alleged relationship with organisations operating in Sierra Leone, like the rebel Revolutionary United Front, which were responsible for atrocities including murders and widespread sexual violence.....more
Fox News Readies ‘Daily Show’ Ripoff
Starring Laura Ingraham — We’re Laughing Already
But seriously, to be a conservative means being born missing a funny bone, a handicap that renders them unable to perceive irony. Besides, as defenders of the status quo, it is the role of the rightwing to be the targets of satire.....more
A NEWSFLASH FOR CNN
Nancy Greggs
I actually remember when CNN was the go-to network when you wanted to find out what was happening in the world. Of course, that was back in the day, before your studios were equipped with direct-feed fax machines to Karl Rove’s office....more

The Miami 7
These alleged terrorists had no weapons, no bombs, no expertise, and no money. They didn't behave or operate as terrorists. They apparently swore an oath of allegiance to Osama bin Laden, but it now appears possible that the FBI informant who infiltrated the group had suggested the idea. For that matter, these guys weren't even Muslims, but instead practiced their own hybrid religion that combined Islam and Christianity.....more

An American Icon: Gore Vidal on Italy, Iraq - and Why He Hates George Bush"Little Bush says we are at war, but we are not at war because to be at war Congress has to vote for it. He says we are at war on terror, but that is a metaphor, though I doubt if he knows what that means. It's like having a war on dandruff, it's endless and pointless. We are in a dictatorship that has been totally militarised, everyone is spied on by the government itself. All three arms of the government are in the hands of this junta.....more
Dixie Chicks Start Defiant Tour
Mark Beech
The Chicks have outgrown their old audience and are on their way to crossover stardom. They have moved from conservative to liberal, hoedown to lowdown, rural to urban and country to rock. It doesn't hurt that the Bush row forced a change in style and aided clever marketing....more
"The Bush we trust is Shepherds Bush"
House Rolls Back Estate Tax
Congressional tax experts estimate that only 5100 estates would now face taxation, down from the current number of 30,000. The bill is estimated to cost up to $300 billion dollars. The House vote came just one day after the Senate rejected a measure that would have raised the minimum wage for the first time in nearly a decade.

Lieberman Splits With His Party on War Votes
Lieberman was one of six Democrats to vote against both resolutions offered by his Senate colleagues. Of that group, Sens. Ben Nelson (Neb.) and Bill Nelson (Fla.) are the only ones other than Lieberman standing for reelection this fall. Both Nelsons represent states that were carried by President Bush in 2004.....more
