Specter has really shown his true colors despite his Sunday morning tv tough-guy images. He’s simply another example of the lack of courage on the Republican side.

Since Keith Olbermann’s Countdown is one of the very few programs worth watching on the three cable news channels, I wouldn’t want you to have missed these statements about W’s September 5th chat and Donnie’s August 30th ‘confusion’ speech.
Olbermann, September 5:

Forget 1776 and 1789. The Junior King who can do nothing right has declared he can do no wrong!
Did the network news report this? I hope someone did because it aptly demonstrates John Dean’s CONSERVATIVES WITHOUT CONSCIENCE thesis on the authoritariasn aspects of the Bush administration.
Please find the memo here.

After a second postponed meeting, he’ll meet with the ‘Big’ Three automakers after the election. Ummm? I wonder how much scratch auto execs dumped on W’s campaigns. Are they getting a return on investment?

Several days ago I posted a photo of a West Bank boy who was wearing a mask and had a toy assault rifle in his hand. As for the weapon, paleontologists have found 6,000 year-old paintings of American boys’ fanning Roy Rogers’ toy six-guns on the walls of the Luray Caverns. Because my friends and […]

Minister of Tourism.The Holy Jihad Brigades announced they would kill non-muslims in Palestinian territory, but conversion to Islam, payment of a ranson or release of imprisoned Muslims in an exchange could gain a hostage’s freedom. It’s not exactly a free continental breakfast, but it beats the alternative.
This photograph accompanied the story, but may be mis-leading. […]

I seem to recall that W said the same thing to Democrats after the 2004 presidential election. In W lingo, ‘work with’ means “ride rough-shod over” while congressional committee chairmen did W’s bidding by either calling the cops on the Dems or assigning them basement rooms for hearings.The Democrats shopuld not have bent so easily […]

I saw this Washington Post story headlined “FBI ROLE IN TERROR PROBE QUESTIONED.” The Huffington Post displayed this Associated Press photograph at their link to the story. Remember that telephoto lens tend to fore-shorten objects(makes items appear closer to each other than they are) in the photograph. Rest in Peace, Paul Krassner.

These pilgrims weren’t on a ballpark tour in Iowa, they actually left home to travel in a brutal war zone. What kind of timing is this? It’s as if American Express had created a special, 7-day-6-night Katrina […]

Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio Republican Secretary of State in charge of the 2004 election and now a candidate to follow guilty Republican governor, Robert Taft, tried a blatant maneuver to keep African-Americans from registering to vote in the state where Bush won–thanks to the sleaze that has become the watchword of Ohio politics. It’s another marriage […]

ABC has a ‘docudrama’ ready for airing on September 10th. Guess who was responsible for 9/11? That’s right. It’s all Bill Clinton’s fault. The right wing wanted an innocuous Reagan movie boycotted and CBS caved in under the falling rockheads. Why don’t lefties ever threaten boycotts? Let’s tell the right that there is a scene […]
