Mike's Blog Round Up
By Mike Finnigan Thursday Aug 30, 2007 11:00amBooman Tribune: Everyone in Congress wants to deal with the emerging crisis of depressed veterans tempted to take their own lives. Everyone, that is, except Senator Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma.
ArmsControlWonk: A good story from this non-proliferation blog, which doesn't get many, More often, it's stuff like this
The Reality-Based Community: Great timing department...
War and Piece: This is troubling...and in a couple related stories, it appears there are still a few people in our government who want Americans to hear the truth but it's a cinch the media aren't pressing for answers to vital and obvious questions.
Martini Revolution: How full of sh*t can one man be?
OFF THE BEATEN PATH: Americans for Informed Democracy, Nuestra Voice, BlueGrassRoots, ePluribus Media Community

Discussing "accountability" for education results in New Orleans Tuesday President Bush reiterated one of his favorite sound bites, "It's what I call challenging the soft bigotry of low expectations." Alas, not when it comes to the President himself and certainly not when the subject is the progress in Iraq.
For the details on why the White House wants the GAO to grade Bush's Iraq surge on a curve, see:
"White House: Bush Deserves 'Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations' on Iraq."
Nobody Asked Me, But...
Disowning Senator Craig
The rush to cast out Senator Larry Craig betrays the Republican Party's intolerance, which is on display for the public in all of its ugliness.
It's so gratifying to see them implode.

The truth is . . . without insurance companies to absorb risk for the banks, New Orleans won't be rebuilt.
Its really the next big Hurricane that will tip the house of cards completely over. There are many homeowners in Florida back only by a promise from the state, one that it cannot possibly keep when it becomes necessary to do so.
And like the General said in the movie, "The truth, you can't handle the truth!"
Abandoned at the Border By JOSEPH P. HOAR
It is shameful that more than four years into the war in Iraq, Iraqis working at our embassy cannot count on the United States to protect them.
Angry One @ 1:
Wasn't boosh a C student?
BaScOmBe @ 3:
Umm, not really. It's a double-standard: Tossing a lawmaker out on his can for having a "gay" encounter while continuing to allow lawmakers who have had "hetero" trysts to stay in office.
It's not gratifying - it's disturbing.

MSNBC is reporting that Tony Snowjob is quitting Sept 14th.

On the GAO report...
Isn't it better to be butchered and killed under American rule than to be butchered and killed under Saddam's rule?
Thousands of Iraqis died under Saddam's brutal regime.
Over one million have died for Bush's vision of democracy.
Isn't that better?

this just in: Tony Snow's leaving the White House...
Orwell's Illegitimate Son @ 7:
I personally think, as rachel maddow pointed out yesterday, that they want to replace craig with a repug. the hypocrisy is that vitter violated his marriage vows and is NOT vilified. His governor is a Democrat. Thus, even more repug hypocrisy is on display, just lacking the vitriol.
So I always gratified that the repugs show America and Amurkkka the truth of the repuglican party: bigotry and hypocrisy.
Naraka @ 9:
Tony himself announced his impending departure weeks ago. this must be a slow news week. there is probably another story they are slipping under the radar, like the GAO saying that boosh is going to have Betrayus spout a slew of lies as his report on ther progress of the 'suuuuurge'.
Any reports on Tony Snow's cancer?
Is it the reason he is resigning? He doesn't look too good.
Here's an article from Tony on Religion and Politics.
Americans trust each other because of shared values and faith
After all of his lies and his love for the slaughter of other human beings, his writing appears to be deeply hypocritical. Does he have time left for true redemption? How will God judge him?
Orwell's Illegitimate Son @ 12:
Cool. Deleted - much like visiting your website as of now has been from my daily routine.
great use of the hyphen, IMHO.
I wonder why the rumors about Vitter's fetish, the diaper thing, haven't come out and been confirmed?
Right now, it's a wink and a snicker with him and his Republic thug buddies, after all, he was having good old Hetro Sex with Hookers? How much more good old family values can you get!
I'm sure they have threatened to kill any hookers coming forward with the details of Vitter's kink, cause, IMHO, HIS is he real hypocrisy.
He never even DENIED it, just did the usual "God has already forgiven me" BS, and then immediately blamed the media?
Standard fare for these hypocrites.....
The stunning thing is, his consitutancy seems OK with this?
But, I bet, a couple of cell phone pictures of him in a diaper getting breast feed by some 300 LB black nanny type?
Let's face it, if he's a Republic thug, he can't have good old sex, it's got to have some weird kink to it for him get off.
Coburn is a vile human being, and the Sig Christenson piece is extremely good.
Batocchio @ 20:
When ever anyone complains too much about the deep south, I just ask them "Ever been to Oklahoma?"..
It's the same idiots, but with more guns.....
Thank you C & L for protecting me with an asterisk from having to read that vile word that serves as an alternative for "fecal matter." Reading that word instead of inferring it would have really ruined my day.
WashStateBlue @ 21: Yeah, every state has its own version of rednecks, yahoos, and idiots - jeez, Oklahoma has friggin' Coburn and Inhofe...
Willie Mink @ 22: It's the house style rules, not unlike most newspapers, and you knew what it meant. You'll notice the linked post spells it out, so what's the big deal?
