Are you sick and tired of Republican attack ads? Are you sick and tired of verbal assaults on twelve-year-old-boys and two-year-old-girls by rich, white fat men who share a basic contempt for change and who practice rhetorical savagery as a virtue? Yeah. I am too. And I think I [...]

midnight musings

Generals opposing the war break with tradition.
From CommonDreams:
The generals acted independently, coming in their own ways to the agonizing decision to defy military tradition and publicly criticize the Bush administration over its conduct of the war in Iraq.

Bye Rove, don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
Today is the last day ‘of work’ for Karl Rove, aka the devil incarnate. Lets give him a rollicking good bye by remembering how he ruined the United States of America and basically the entire world as we know it. Let me start:
PlameGate…nothing more need be said.
Politicizing every department withing the Federal Government.

Petraeus playing politics whilst dining with congressmen and women.
The people in Iraq can’t even get electricity 24/7 or running clean water. Yet Petraeus and our elected representatives are dining on lobster tortellini in Baghdad. This isn’t the worst of it however. That Petraeus would sit in a comfortable environment and lobby for the surge whilst eating this elitist food is wrong on many [...]
