Thanks to a five hour delay in my flight yesterday (first plane was two hours late, and after finally boarding it and sitting in it for a half hour, we had to deplane for mechanical reasons, forced to wait again until the airline could find us another bird); and having run out of battery charge for my laptop, I …
During the past eight years, the Bushmen have done their utmost to entrench themselves behind political, financial, and ecclesiastical power. Their make-believe foreign policy has failed to do aught that it set out to do. Chummy self-serving alliances will never prevent world wars, or control the several most powerful governments.

Bush took office the week of January 22, 2001, the Dow Jones Industrial average was 10,659. Yesterday, it closed 50 points under that. Bill Clinton left a budget surplus of over $250 billion. Bush will leave office with …
Stupid Fingers! Rob Stafford writes over at HufPo: “. . .here are four questions I’d like someone to ask Senator McCain, and that I’d like him to answer — without parsing, without equivocating, just answer.
