Times Select To Go The Way of The Do-Do Birds?

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Unconfirmed and may not be true, but the New York Post is reporting the New York Times is going to do away with its Times Select subscription service.
Oh, goody, now I can read Maureen Dowd again.
August 7, 2007 — The New York Times is poised to stop charging readers for online access to its Op-Ed [...]

Michael Yon’s Latest Dispatch

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Michael Yon has his second of two dispatches up, telling of the difficulty of getting food to the people in Baqubah.
Breaking that wedge. LTC Johnson—who is hardly in these photos—finally makes an overt threat with the weapon he was going to open those doors with. His threat was shameless. Johnson pointed to me [...]

Romney has been rewriting the past.

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

I knew this guy couldn’t tell the truth from the minute I heard him speak.
Romney has been rewriting the past. He has repeatedly given a bogus description of recent history by accusing former President Clinton of initiating a decline in military spending.
Romney: After President George H.W. Bush left office, in 1993, the Clinton administration began [...]

Former NYC mayor takes credit for too many tax cuts.

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Tell the truth Rudy.
A new radio ad boasts that Rudy Giuliani “cut or eliminated 23 taxes” while mayor of New York City, a boast he and his supporters have repeated many times on the campaign trail. We find that to be an overstatement. Giuliani can properly claim credit for initiating only 15 of those cuts.
In [...]

Simultaneously stressed and bored, U.S. soldiers are turning to the widely available drug for a quick escape.

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

A very sad story that speaks for itself.
Just outside the main gate to Bagram airfield, a U.S. military installation in Afghanistan, sits a series of small makeshift shops known by locals as the Bagram Bazaar. For Afghans, it is the place to buy American goods, but the stalls that make up the heart of [...]

Hannity misrepresented Clinton quotes to claim she has “socialist views and intentions”

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

I don’t know how many different ways I can give it to you. She didn’t say what you said she did. You’ve got to read the whole paragraph and not pick out what displeases you. It’s called taking things in context. Democrats and Republicans have a different way of looking at things. [...]

ECONOMIC POLICY: Modern Progressive Vision: Shared Prosperity.

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

From everything I’ve read, it seems that Hanity was the first to misrepresent Hillary Clinton’s speech Here. Here is the original. Personally I see nothing wrong with it. You decide.
Well, Colleen, I can assure you that as President, I will strongly support schools like the Manchester School for Technology. I have for [...]

Ponder vs. pander: The debate problem.

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

It sad but it goes on in every debate. It makes them all look phony.
Even though presidential primary debates draw a lot of attention, can be informative and sometimes even are fun, they are a poor way to measure what kind of president a candidate will make.
Debates tell us how well a candidate [...]

GOP recruits unafraid to sound hawkish.

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Speaks for itself.
A majority of the American public has turned sour on President Bush’s policy in Iraq — but you wouldn’t know it from listening to top Republican recruits for congressional races next year.
Virtually all of the party’s blue-chip challengers continue to back Bush’s surge policy and oppose any timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops.
Their [...]

House Panel Suspends Its Probe Of Jefferson

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

He is one for you.
The House ethics committee has suspended its investigation into Rep. William J. Jefferson, acceding to requests from federal prosecutors who believe the congressional inquiry could interfere with the criminal case against the Louisiana Democrat, who was indicted this summer on 16 corruption charges.
The six-member subcommittee handling the inquiry decided to hold [...]

Our Chance to Capture the Center

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

This is an editorial By Martin O’Malley and Harold Ford Jr.
makes sense to me.
With President Bush and the Republican Party on the rocks, many Democrats think the 2008 election will be, to borrow a favorite GOP phrase, a cakewalk. Some liberals are so confident about Democratic prospects that they contend the centrism that vaulted Democrats [...]

As British Leave, Basra Deteriorates.

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

My opinion on this is that if they want to kill each other let them.
As British forces pull back from Basra in southern Iraq, Shiite militias there have escalated a violent battle against each other for political supremacy and control over oil resources, deepening concerns among some U.S. officials in Baghdad that elements of Iraq’s [...]

State rep. blames fear of ‘’stocky black guy” for sex arrest

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

You talk about saying and doing anything to get elected. This is a typical politician who doesn’t care who he hurts as long as he can save his own nasty butt.
An audiotape reveals new details about the arrest of a state lawmaker in the men’s room of a public park. Investigators say State Representative [...]

Iraqi Political Crisis Grows

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Speaks for itself.
Iraq’s political crisis worsened Monday as five more ministers announced a boycott of Cabinet meetings _ leaving the embattled prime minister’s unity government with no members affiliated with Sunni political factions.
Meanwhile, a suicide bomber killed at least 28 people in a northern city, including 19 children, some playing hopscotch and marbles in [...]

Novak: ‘I Don’t Support This Administration,’ Bush Has ‘Cut Me Off’

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Should have done it along time ago.
In a radio interview with Diane Rehm this morning, right-wing columnist Robert Novak tried to assert his conservative credentials by distancing himself from the Bush White House. “I don’t support this administration,” he said.
“The president’s cut me off the list of conservative columnists that are invited there.” He added, [...]

She tells us that according to the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, Clinton’s support among Democrats and independent voters who “lean” Democratic stands at [...]

Oh, This is Smart

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

The House passed a bill that will tax the oil industry by $16 billion.
They want to put some of that money into renewable energy sources such as windmills.
What about those of us who don’t live where there’s a lot of wind to power those windmills?
Taxes are the big reason for your gas and oil [...]

Barack, Clinton Avoid Each Other Even In The Senate Chambers

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Is this child-like or what?
They work in the same building. They slog through the same rigorous travel schedule. Along the way, they often cross paths several times a day.
But Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama have barely spoken to one another – at least in any meaningful way – for months.
The tension between the [...]
