He does not speak for me. He does not speak for intelligent people. He lies. He lies to his advisers – as they undoubtedly do to him. He lies to the people of the United States. He lies to the world. Under his watch, the United States has become less safe from terrorism. Under his …
Some things that have crossed my mind today: WAMU’s decision to relegate their bluegrass programming to the HD range is flat-out stupid. The powers-that-be at WAMU continue to prove that they know how to implode a local radio station, creating more of the same (political talk radio and over-syndicated NPR content) rather than provide a …
Gotta love Russ Feingold (D-WI)….. (Note: viral video for a progressive PAC. No, it’s not a virus, but it’s making the rounds…)
If you believe that we are going the wrong direction in our Middle East military engagements, please vote against President Bush’s request for an additional $50 million in emergency war spending. That the president is already requesting such funding before the Patraeus shill report is issued shows that Bush will turn a blind eye to …
Keith Olbermann is a rare entity in journalism these days: a man who knows no fear, and who is willing to speak things that the corporate shills who run the major media outlets dare not say for fear of offending the Bush propaganda machine. And last night, as he has many times before, Olbermann said …
Tonight’s Countdown featured Keith Olbermann’s most pointed, focused and necessary commentary on the corrupt folly and danger that is the presidency of George Walker Bush that has ever been set to video or audio archive.

Three things to ponder – not all of them beautiful: The cheering section along Park Central Road in Catoctin Mountain Park was reminiscent of a moment in Le Tour. These folks must’ve cheered on every rider on our club ride, and made us all redouble our efforts as we clawed our way to the summit. …
Since Bush vetoed Congress’ Iraq funding bill – with Congress failing to override the veto – the Dems are in a bit of a tizzy. Some are willing to retreat to the useless and already-proven-pointless benchmarks approach: setting a timetable for the Iraqi government, while continuing an all-military approach toward getting the U.S. out of …
Note that I’m not the biggest fan of the District of Columbia’s delegate to the House of Representatives. But she has her moments, and yesterday was one of the best. The best part starts about 1:44 into the clip – it’s priceless. Note that HR 1906 (and its sister bill, NH 1909) both passed yesterday. …
Right after we moved to DC, sprite and I became involved with DC for Dean – the local, grassroots supporters of then-candidate Howard Dean. When we started, the group was still in its infancy, with just a handful of members. And one of the most energized of those members was Paul McKenzie. Paul was almost …
