Stand Up Against the Surge
by Molly Ivins (1/11/07)
The purpose of this old-fashioned newspaper crusade to stop the war is not to make George W. Bush look like the dumbest president ever. People have done dumber things. What were they thinking when they bought into the Bay of Pigs fiasco? How dumb was the Egypt-Suez [...]
The following is a tribute to Molly Ivins by the Texas Observer:
Syndicated political columnist Molly Ivins died of breast cancer Wednesday evening at her home in Austin. She was 62 years old, and had much, much more to give this world.
She remained cheerful despite Texas politics. She emphasized the more hilarious aspects of both state [...]
Chris (My Two Sense blog owner) and I are regular bloggers over at AMERICAblog and back in December 2006, “Joe in DC” (one of the contributors of AMERICAblog and whose roots are in Portland, Maine) invited us out for lunch to talk politics when he was home for the holidays. One thing Chris mentioned when we were meeting was he [...]
Ahhhh, yes. Ms. Judith Miller. You remember her. She was the journalist at the New York Times who before the Iraq invasion was beating the drums loudly for the White House. Oh yes, she had all the secret confidential information about what the White House knew about Saddam and his wmd and she was happy [...]
Oh that’s right. In our Orwellian world created by the Bush Regime, “peace” means war now. I keep forgetting that. Spit.
Oh, okay. She says she doesn’t want to send any more troops to Iraq and says it’s because it hasn’t worked before. So why is she now on the exploratory committee for John McCain (McCave, I should say) who is ‘Mr. Troop Surge Extraordinaire’? Oh that’s right! Susan has no idea what she believes.
Snowe, Collins [...]
During 2006, the democrats in the House & Senate realized how powerful the blogs truly are to our democracy. For years now, we’ve witnessed the “liberal media” (it’s really the ROM…republican owned media) being the mouthpiece for the White House and for the GOP in the drum up to the war and since then. Opposing [...]
(The following is a private rant by me and it is suggested you get some ear plugs to protect yourself)
Senator Susan Collins was on MSNBC today touting her usual banter. Of course, she’s now saying what she should have been saying for the past five years since 9/11/01, but hey, she’s just now realizing that [...]
It’s going to be quite a week, because Karl Rove has been subpeoned to testify and so has Ari Fleischer. You remember Ari…he was the White House Press Secretary who was lying and covering for the Bush Regime in the beginning and when the questions started getting heated to him, Ari quit his post and [...]

"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960
