So who won?

‘Personally I give it to Kerry – not in a hands down sort of way by any means, but he did win.
Kerry: Got it right when he talked about America’s isolation being a bad thing and how they have lost respect in the world – that has to resonate with people. Thinking Americans know that [...]

He changed his tune

‘In what some would most certainly call a flip-flop it seems that Dick Cheney said years ago that going into Iraq would get the U.S.
….bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq,
He seems to be singing a different tune these days doesn’t he? Cheney suggested that
….ousting Mr. Hussein would preoccupy [...]

Entered into the official record

Tonight marked the second third time that folks from #MixedWingNuts had the chance to get together for an evening.
Treehugger made the trip from Toronto to Ottawa on business and the opportunity to mix some pleasure with that was not missed by those of us who live here. The evening passed very pleasantly over a meal [...]

Unheard screams in the night

‘We’ve all heard about the torture and abuse of Iraqi male prisoners in Iraq at the hands of American and British soldiers – but what about the women? We don’t hear about the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of women that are also locked up do we?
Do you ever wonder about that? I’m told that [...]

What will they think of next?

I checked my RRS feeds from blogs I follow this evening and noted an article titled Debate Feed on Right Voices. Thinking they had scored a ‘live as it happens’ feed for the presidential debates I scooted over to check it out and found a link to the George W. Bush site that contained the [...]

Up to a point?

Blame me (…up to a point)
As two more British soldiers die in Iraq, Blair tries to quell war furore controversy
Tony Blair admitted yesterday that his stance on Iraq had led to a collapse in his trust ratings and appealed to Labour to set aside differences on the war and work for a historic third [...]

More from the…..

….. I-got-my-head-in-the-sand-and-I-ain’t-coming-up-for-air department on global warming.
While searching a federal Web site for information on Hurricane Jeanne, we came across a news item sure make the “Earth in the Balance” gang break out into a cold sweat.
“NOAA REPORTS COOL SUMMER, SEVENTH COLDEST AUGUST ON RECORD ACROSS THE LOWER 48 STATES,” the headline blared on the National [...]

They still think we’re dumb

Bush Evokes Ford: ‘Taliban No Longer in Existence’
Evoking Gerald Ford’s 1976 comment “there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe,” George Bush said yesterday that the “Taliban is no longer in existence,” underscoring the point that he isn’t being straight with the American people about his wrong choices in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“That’s why I [...]

Religion, politics, and complete stupidity

It’s really hard to believe what some folks will consider when trying to help their man win an election, take this for example
“If you are a Christian and you vote for Sen. Byron Dorgan, you are no friend of God,”
What’s up with that anyway? Can people believe that the Christian god is really rooting for [...]

Just what we’ve been saying

….no election is credible — not even a first election in an Arab country — if it doesn’t fairly represent the wishes of the governed. Mr. Rumsfeld says that a partial vote, one in which only 75 percent of the country participated, would be better than no election at all.
I’m willing to bet that if [...]

They do think we’re dumb don’t they

‘Over at the NYT Paul Krugman is getting us ready for the right biased TV media to declare Bush the winner in the debate on Thursday, and yesterday (Right)WingNut Sean Hannity was saying ‘Lets see if the media overcomes their bias and asks Kerry the tough questions or if they give him a pass’.
Shouldn’t they [...]

I had to…

‘Really, if I didn’t post a link to this page I wouldn’t be able to hold my head up in public on the left leaning side of the blog-o-sphere.
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies……………..

Well, shouldn’t that make them proud

Coupled with RSS, Google alerts a great tool for bloggers – how they managed to miss BushCountry.Org until now is a mystery to me… but none the less, tonight is the first time I’ve come across the place (via a Google “global warming” alert) and I get to see this wonderful piece of conservative writing.
I [...]

Where there’s smoke…

Is CIA at war with Bush?
A few hours after George W. Bush dismissed a pessimistic CIA report on Iraq as “just guessing, the analyst who identified himself as its author told a private dinner last week of secret, unheeded warnings years ago about going to war in Iraq. This exchange leads to the unavoidable conclusion [...]

It’s everything but torture

The 21-year-old reservist who held the rank of private first class, was arraigned Friday and did not enter a plea. She is charged with 19 counts of abuse and indecent acts.
Do you suppose we’ll actually ever see/hear a charge of torture? Or is that something only the bad guystm do when they do what the [...]
