Watergate Summer: Bush's Blair House debacle. Just one more lie

Esquire: Rewriting history, warmongering, dragging around piglets -- and Obama hasn't even been seated yet. Just how far will absolutists go in the battle against the stimulus package

Newshoggers: War crimes beget war crimes, just as atrocities beget new militants on all sides, and rushing to the lowest common denominator of mindless violence does not and cannot halt an insurgency.

First time for everything I suppose.

Looks like Burris is in after all. Dems have accepted him in as a Senator.

was funny. It's only the second time I have truly laughed this year.

Obama's Secretary of Agriculture? Coulda swore I heard it on CNN!

Now the pork is really gonna flying in DC.

to any Congress-critter who DOESN'T Get any of the swag...

they're agin it if they don't profit from it...

Don't diss Miss Piggy - she's my hero (or heroine?).! I have an autographed copy of "Miss Piggy's Guide to Life" (well, it's autographed by the friend who gave it to me back in 1982), and the Porcine Princess provided a plethora of pertinent information relating to finance and the government.

Re: Taxes: "Everyone has to pay tax. The way to look at it is this: each year you are buying a few things you didn't think you were buying, like a couple of shrubs for the White House, or a new desk for the Secretary of Big Boats. They send you a bill for it due on April 15, and if you are not prepared for it, that can ruin your fun, just when the weather is getting warm."

Get your tax forms in the mail yet?

on Gaza here.

Unfortunately, his is a lone voice.

This country needs more like him.

We need many more like him.

and the blip at the end of the clip is still of concern to me - until after noon on Jan 20th.

693,000 which is 'shockingly awful'.

No kidding.

if they hope to get back into power in 4 years...

ANYTHING that looks like it will help the "people" will also help the DIMS.

The Dims must fail, big time, for the Pukes to prevail. SO I do NOT look for any meaningful cooperation...

We all know that homelessness is a big problem in Washington DC. What better way to highlight that problem than to turn Blair House into America's most visible homeless shelter?

Specifically I'd like to see an emphasis on homeless military vets and those that are really sick. Blair House could then serve as a shining example of the Village's compassion.

All those for, whistle and wave. All against, vote for John McCain.

bush lied,about Blair House. What a shocker!

Sure seems to be a rash of 'suicides' among financial high-rollers these days...

The Blair House line was always sketchy, but I hadn't known it was so large a facility. Petty BS.

Cernig's post is a good overview, Geoghegan would rock as a congressman, and it really would be nice if the inmates and criminals weren't dictating terms on economic recovery plans.

by a petty little man who likes to play dress-up and pretend that he's a fighter pilot.

A thieving slime who steals from the elderly and from children.

A mass murderer of below average intelligence.

The Obama family should take it as a compliment.

Just sayin.

Thanks for the link, Mike. I really believe that after all is said and done and all the headaches they caused, Dan and Eitan (aka Martin Eisenstadt) will be strong voices for causes we hold dear. At the very least, they helped show how inept "expert political pundits" really are.

bush is a disgusting asshole to the end.....

someone should kick bush's balls so hard,
that laura bush chokes on them.

i am so ready for the world court at the Haigh
to start criminal proceedings on bush and cheney.
