DownWithTyranny!: Who will be the next Gay Republican hypocrite to be dragged out of the closet screaming about mediaa witch hunts?
Majikthise: Tancredo to Gulf Coast--Drop Dead
The Orstrahyun: Nine stolen anti-tank rocket launchers are still missing as world leaders begin flying in to Sydney, Australia for next week's APEC summit. President Bush is set to arrive on Tuesday, amidst a net of ultra-security set to lockdown the centre of the city, for most of the working week.
Horses Mouth: It'll be interesting to see if this gets any attention...
The Carpetbagger Report: Stop me if you've heard this one: career Bush administration officials had an idea that would benefit the public; affected corporations balked and hired lobbyists, political appointees ("loyal Bushies") scrapped the idea.
HOLY CRAP: Not everything in this feature should be construed as anti-religion. I think our readers can separate the chicken salad from the chicken sh*t. Fr'instance here's slacktivist, Fred Clark on Obama and theolgian Reinhold Niebuhr...G-Dub snubs a War widow, because she's a Wiccan...A week's worth of updates on Christianist fringe-dwellers...A PG-rated rant telling religious zealots to mind their own bidness...What do I mean by religious zealots? These assh*les. Indeed, religious extremism is the source of a lot of the world's trouble, but apparently last week's program on CNN, "God's Warriors", did not make some members of the Am-Taliban very happy...Hitchens and Donohue duke it out on Hardball...Happy Jihad's House of Pancakes thinks Answers in Genesis has the funniest posts...
High!
"Americans United for Separation of Church and State today blasted President George W. Bush for shunning a war widow who successfully challenged the administration’s refusal to allow the use of the Wiccan symbol of faith on government-issued grave markers.
"On Tuesday, following an address to the American Legion’s national convention in Reno, Bush met with northern Nevada family members of soldiers who have perished in combat. Roberta Stewart, whose husband, Sgt. Patrick Stewart was killed in combat in Afghanistan, was not invited, even though other relatives of Sgt. Stewart were."
Presidential Oath of Office:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
First Amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Bush now has every aspect of the First Amendment covered. He has violated it word for word and in spirit.
hopefully next one outed will be Lindsay Graham or maybe Mitch McConnell.
i read something interesting about McConnell. he was discharged from the army for fondling another private's privates with out his consent.
The only reason I check this site every day is so I know for sure
when we have become an AUTHORITARIAN DICTATORSHIP.
Good times.

Hey what happened to all those gay republican groups that were so vocal during the last couple of presidential fixes? You'd think this constituency would be swelling in ranks with the republican party being so full of opportunities.
Scott Ritter and Hitchens are scheduled to be on tomorrow on C-span's book tv, each talking about his most recent book.
"I am the President of the United States. However, I am not the President of Iraqi War critics, Wickans, Athiests or 'Free Speehers.'"
Jenny'O @ 3:
Your kidding Right?...Where did you read this?
Tancredo just put another nail in his own coffin........what a heartless dumbass...
Those poor Australian citizens..... they'll have to deal with the chaos that the "deciderer" and his plane load of kool-aid carrying air force one douchebags bring to their country. I hope the protests are HUGE !
Excellent round up.
A clip Hillary does not want you to see.
When is Larry Flynt going to drop the next bomb involving another NO moral Rethug. into a prostitution ring, cheating on the wife or just being another bathroom stalking gay, hiding and cowering in the closet? It will be pure hypocritical enjoyment.
to gallery at #10.
the sydneyese will go through a whole bunch of heck for the next week or so but their suffering will pay off in the long run.
lots of ppl i know are apolitical. they don't really care who is running things; they just want to go on with their lives and be happy.
they sydneyers are going to have to put up with that do-do for the next week and maybe it will open some more eyes. there are quite a few right wingers there too you know.
i do hope that we can see interviews with regular sydneyians so they can relate some of the stuff on the ground as it really is. we already know that the usual corp. media will find some school childern with flowers to film.
Flash news bulletin: Larry Craig resigns. Says he sorry and he mis-understood the term "public service".
From G-Dub snubs a war widow:
I knew the Shrub was a hydrocephalic knuckledragging cretin, but I thought he was at least into politically beneficial actions. For him to snub someone just because they are not the same religion as he is is beyond stupid.
It makes me want to tell Shrub that his brain is really one big malignant cancer to be cut out, but someone apparently already did that.
Thanks for the link and the accompanying squirt of dopamine that comes with the spike in traffic. Sweet, sweet dopamine.

"Americans United Protests Presidential Snub Of Wiccan War Widow"
Maybe he was afraid she was going to put a curse on him...that's what the going stereotype is...of course, no self-respecting Pagan would ever think to do that.
Bush and his supporters are typical "Sunday Christians"...you know, humble before God for two hours per week, as if that is all that is required!
to #8 mudshark
Howie Klein apparently has a bit of a crusade against poor old mitch but hey that doesn't mean he's not guilty. the guy even says in one of his articles (or maybe it was one of his commentors-not sure) that it is shameful that the only way these crooks ever get thrown out is by being gay (or bi). BUT and this is the big but...these guys choose to protect their secret lives not by lying to their families like a lot of closeted ppl do but by attacking gay people's rights.
if it weren't for these twisted paranoid closet cases men would'nt have to seek sex in b-rms or if they did no one would care.

Poor Larry Flynt. If he doesn't publish his new list pretty soon, they will all be outed before he gets around to it. I do hope there will be a viable challenger for McHenry's seat in NC. We need real progressives, not DINOs like Heath Shuler and Mike McIntyre, whose district I have the misfortune to live in.
Three dead gay republicans all in the same house, how convenient.
Murder suicide=cognitive dissonance.
If Larry Flynt doesn't hurry up and out those Reps. they
might all wind up dead before anything worthwhile happens.
Hitchens and Donawho are actually friends? "Buddy"?
I guess in exchange for his support for the war Hitch was granted full exposure on right wing TV/radio
for his latest book. Great marketing Bitch, I mean Hitch. You get bought by
the right and you put out a book for the left and there is no one around
to kick your ass except Donahue and he has to do it outside the studio.
Let me see Scott Ritter or Sam Harris get a hold of you.
Man, Hitchens made Donohue look like a blithering idiot...
uh, I guess that isn't so hard to do.
I was just thinking about Jesus. Mother Theresa proclaimed that she just couldn't believe in Him. Does that mean that she went straight to hell? I understand from talking to some christianistas that if you die without Jesus your doomed to burn for eternity. It's truly amazing that anyone could possibly worship some sort of God that hates so much. The God of the bible is a mass murdering hatemonger. Personally, I would only pray to a God who isn't bi-polar, who loves me but hates me at the same time. It's absolutely unbelievable the crap that most people in this world accept as truth. C'mon folks, you were born with brains, use them. I know that thinking is hard and all that, but really to blindly accept the rantings that most people do is just plain stupidity.
