Plausible Commentary

There is a simply amazing little fantasy scenario buried deep in the piece linked below. Click and read.  It's all about the President trying to make nice with Democrats over Iraq.

'He acts less like the president than like the head of the RNC'

Liberal hawk Peter Beinart has a fascinating item in the upcoming issue of The New Republic in which he notes what many of us have recognized for a very long time: the Bush White House will always put political gain above everything else. Even winning a war. As Beinart sees it, conditions in Iraq are still [...]

Northeast storms tied to global warming

Chasing The Voting Machine Story

San Diego Union-Tribune (Mis)reports Busby/Bilbray Election Concerns, Wednesday's Townhall Meeting (Which They Didn't Attend)

It's still remarkable how many in the MSM regard bloggers as "unreliable"...even as they get story after story wrong and/or report unsubstantiated, unverifiable nonsense as fact. I wrote early on in the Busby/Bilbray election results saga about AP (and all the rest) reporting that Brian Bilbray had won the election. They [...]

Al Gore Truthifying

Speaking out.  Ouch!

Al Gore in Rolling Stone

Bush is insulated -- his staff smiles a lot and only gives him the news that he wants to hear. Unfortunately, they still have this delusion that they create their own reality. As George Orwell wrote, we human beings are capable of convincing ourselves of something that's not true long after the accumulated evidence would convince any reasonable person that it's wrong. And when leaders persist in that error, sooner or later they have a collision with reality, often on a battlefield. That, in essence, is [...]

What Can Congress Do?

The "fast track" approach just seems a bit of a push, doesn't it?  Like trying to move too quickly.

Legal Expert: Congress Can’t Rubber Stamp Military Commissions Without Endangering U.S. Troops

Shortly after the Supreme Court issued its decision in the Hamdan case, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went on television and said that all Congress needed to do was provide its “blessing” to Bush’s procedures. Many others, especially critics of the decision, have echoed Graham’s position. Today, Georgetown Law Professor Carlos Vasquez explained that things aren’t as [...]

Fox News Tangles With Lott

Seems Mr. Lott kinda got the cart before the horse on the Supreme Court story. You'd really think a U.S. Senator would, at least, read a Supreme Court ruling before he goes on TV to talk about it. I'm guessing that he expected nothing but softball questions from Fox.  Ooops.

Lott: Supreme Court Decision Is ‘Ridiculous and Outrageous,’ Has Our Enemies ‘Laughing At Us’

Appearing on Fox News this afternoon, Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) lashed out the Supreme Court, which ruled today that the Bush administration’s military commissions were illegal. Lott said the decision was “ridiculous and outrageous” and likely had our enemies “laughing at us.” Then he admitted he hadn’t read it. Watch it: Transcript: CAVUTO: President Bush says [...]
