Tired of Getting Sand Kicked in Our Faces

There is no sand storm powerful enough to obfuscate the vision of Maureen Dowd, as she once again demonstrates here:

No One to Lose To

...When Fact is Fiction and TV Reality...

W. never made more sense.

Can you say IRONIC?

Paul Krugman Gives You a Piece of my Mind

ONE DOWN. ONE TO GO.

FULL SPEED AHEAD!!

GOP SWEPT !!!!

WOA DUDE!!

GOING, GOING, ........

GONE!!

Looks like we're off to a good start.

DEMS SET TO TAKE OVER HOUSE

THE PARTY'S OVER

DICK-head!

I am sorry about Lincoln Chafee (R) Sen. Rhode Island - he voted with his head, not his party.
He's just a victim of the rolling wave of national discontent.

Let's hope for some sanity going forward.

Pelosi WILL rise to the occasion.

...and away we go...

Insulting Our Troops, and Our Intelligence - New York Times

It's The New York Times Free Select week, so read up.

published "The Greatest Story Ever Sold."

...need I say more?

Insulting Our Troops, and Our Intelligence - New York Times

READY, AIM, .........

FIRE!!

The Bushster, under mounting pressure to put Rummy out to pasture where he can do no further harm, decided instead to congratulate him in true "heckuva job" fashion last week.

Luv to Luv U Rummy

Apparently, with the Army Times, The Navy Times, The Air Force Times, and the Marine Corp Times joining the New York Times (the paper most likely to short out Cheney's pace maker) demanding Rummy's ouster, the president may soon find himself in a very small minority.

RUMSFELD RESIGN

Of course, calls for Rummy's resignation go way back...

Why Iraq Was a Mistake by Lieut. Gen. Greg Newbold (Ret.)

Three Retired Generals Demand Rumsfeld's Resignation

More Retired Generals Call for Rumsfeld's Resignation

The consistent level of incompetence Rummy has demonstrated is nothing short of criminal. This man is a demented megalomanic Nixonian relic who is fighting the Vietnam war all over again, expecting a different result.

CAPTAIN NEOCON

God Help America

FOCUS

I recently posted part of John Kerry's initial response regarding his "stuck in Iraq" comment, a non-issue, non-story which the press subsequently turned into a major news event. Slow news week?? More like like prime pirranah time.

While Kerry was serving up the president some well deserved fresh hell, a desperate, otherworldly GOP gleefully turned the dial of their bullshit machine to > DISTRACTION TACTICS.

With so much at stake this Nov. 7th, and republicans racing away from the burning Bush, anything was better than an endless news cycle of Tom Foley sexcapades (the repubs have that poor bastard bound, gagged and locked away in "treatment" somewhere and won't let him out until Nov. 8th), the continued chaotic slaughter that is the Iraq war of choice, the Abramoff scandal, etc., etc.

What better way to take the public's mind off the monumental failures of the current majority party? Create a fake controversy, of course!

I was sidelined by a trip to the emergency room - (just a sprain, whew!!) - then, out of the blue, from a friend who is one of the last people I would expect to send me anything political, I receive an email containing what I consider to be THE LAST WORD about this trumped-up, overblown nonsense.

If you read this site at all, you have undoubtedly come across Keith Olbermann links. This is a guy from another time - I can picture him in black and white, smoking a cigarette, and working with the likes of Edward R. Murrow - (Olbermann many times uses his tag line "good night and good luck---fitting.)

Here is the link (text and video) to what I believe is the the most intelligent, passionate, and well written response to the most consciousless, condescending, treasonous, vengeful, destructive collective force to ever to "govern" what used to be my country.....BUSH SHOULD APOLOGIZE


and on a personal note...
Tommy, you CAN hear me! Atta' Boy!!!!

"Togetherness In Baghdad"

I have always respected George Will as an intellectual who could illuminate me to the point of getting a sense of the Republican argument, and also, as a very objective conservative.

Here is his essay in the November 6th issue of Newsweek - objectivity blazing.

Togetherness in Baghdad

"Dying to Save the GOP Congress"

Once again, the incomparable Frank Rich conveys the obvious with skill and eloquence.

Please forward this link to anyone who you believe may have gone temporarily insane and believes a vote for the Republicans is a vote for the future...
