As an Alaskan, I can truly say this was a shocker. A couple of thoughts. I'm decidedly NOT Republican (Alaska Green Party), but I like Sarah Palin. She is, for a Republican, a breath of fresh air. Her heart's in the right place on social issues --

No actual thinking being can now be expecting to hear truth, from our Perpetrator Administration. The only meaningful listening choice is over which lie is more revealing. In the current case , the Bushies made a tactical error by letting us know...

Had to pass this on as-is. The roll-your-own Bush speech is more fun than it looks. Someone who knows how, should put up a page for it. Profile of the Sociopath This website summarizes some of the features of sociopaths.

Oh, my god! The new model for Iraq is North Korea?? As if North Korea was a success story. As if we or the world need another suspended-aggression stalemate. Let's look at who likes this idea. The pentagon is reportedly all over it...

Bush's climate talks proposal is worse than misleading -- it's a transparent attempt to further derail any real action on global warming.

America is not yet sick enough of this "President," and his imperialist aggression, to take his policies down and throw him out on His can.

Colonel Ted Westhusing did the only honorable thing his commanders left to him. He took his own life.

O'Rielly is running out of whines. One wonders when he's going to pack it in and head for a sunnier clime than Washington. Perhaps to Kingston; there to lick his wounds and yell at the dreaded-out barboys from a jacked-up chaise lounge. What's got h

I've developed the habit of sorting people into categories, depending on when they realized that the Bush Presidency wasn't an unalloyed good thing for the country. These categories are marked by descending percentages of support for the administrati

And now we have the unseemly spectacle of a sitting President priming the pump of public opinion, on behalf of his own eventual pardon for crimes in office. This may seem a harsh interpretation of Mr. Bush's eulogy notation that Gerald Ford took off

Contrast President Gerald Ford's funeral with that of Ronald Reagan. No one has yet focused on the cost to taxpayers of the former, but the latter is estimated to have cost taxpayers at least half a billion, by the time all the bills came in. Review

The Clock is Ticking, Mr. President Seems as if you're losing patience, ever so slowly, with our so-called leader, Senator Reid. There is a time for patience. There is a time for the benefit of the doubt. There's even a time to let the rope run out

Another incriminating FOX memo... "Guess they are a propaganda arm of the Republican party. I must be naive. I knew they were slanted toward the Republicans, but I didn't realize it was orchestrated to this extent. Good reporting, Huffpo."

Its painful to watch. Bush, in his perenial rolled-up shirtsleeves, works the stops in safe R-zones. Just that some of them don't turn out to be that safe anymore. In florida, the prospective Republican replacement for brother Jeb's governor seat c

My response to Chris Wiegant's so-called plan: I gotta be honest, this "plan" sounds like more smoke-and-mirror politics. Most of what's wrong with politics is wrong with this plan. First, it's based on promises. How many politicians in r
