I’m blown away. Bush’s approval rating is down the toilet because of Iraq. The Iraq Study Group (paid for by us, ladies and gents) says we should get out. Our professional military leaders, seeing it firsthand, say we can’t “win”. The death toll is climbing, hatred against the US is growing, and that is causing [...]
Such class in the face of such classlessness. This interview even came after Rush Limbaugh’s (coff, coff, ahem) “apology”. Michael J Fox interview with Katie Couric
I’ve been opposed, for many practical reasons, to No Child Left Behind since it was first proposed. Now that it’s been in practice for a few years, its flaws have become more and more obvious. In certain school districts, children who were not able to perform were responsible for a significant percentage of the failure [...]
This time from the folks who are trying to make us think that Foley’s an innocent victim. Both Matt Drudge and Rush Limbaugh posit that the IMs were pranks, or plants by Democrats to “lure” Foley (Limbaugh and Hastert). I can’t find the link now, but another Limbaugh transcript had him saying that the pages [...]
Yet another case of “Do as I say, not as I do.” What’s got me peeved most at this point, though, is the Republicans and their media calling him gay. There’s nothing wrong or scandalous about gay. Foley is, repeat after me, a PEDOPHILE. If he were gay, he’d be interested in relations with similarly [...]
Daylight Atheism has a very disturbing post today about new legislation that puts us further on the road to an Evangelical Christian Government: In a worrying development for every citizen concerned about protecting state-church separation, the so-called “Public Expression of Religion Act” passed the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this week on a largely party-line [...]
Of course Fox News spun the interview with Chris Wallace as if Clinton was a raving maniac, but if you look at the actual interview, you can see that it’s just spin. I had forgotten all about the fact that when he was trying to get Bin Laden, the Republicans, who’d been trying to turn [...]
Ok, next infringement of freedom brought to you courtesy of Christian Right Old White Dudes (I’m gonna call them the CROWD from now on. You might not find it particularly catchy, but I thought it was amusing. The CBS story has snippets of both sides, but it seems that the supporters of the bill, which [...]
So, there’s an article in the Observer today subtly, yet not-so-subtly, standing behind Mr. Bush’s veto of the stem cell research bill. Oh, in case you want to know, you can find out who voted how by clicking here. Anyway, the author supported the ban in part by revisiting the public announcement Bush made after [...]
Quoted in the paper this morning: “This is one of the weakest, most baseless indictments in American history.” Funny, the first thing that comes to my mind as that sounds more like Whitewater. Tom is calling his accuser a fanatic. Let’s see how that works for him.
