I don’t think there is a single blog out there I read that hasn’t at least once linked to Democratic Underground’s Forum. The place is like a train wreck of human thought; you just can’t help but gawk at their twisted logic and wild-eyed conspiracy theories. I’ve even ended up becoming addicted to the site; […]

— Things couldn’t be going better for John Kerry, the “French looking” liberal from Massachusetts. All he has to do right now is sit back, work on his hair, and enjoy the ride. Meanwhile, Edwards, Dean, & Clark are just trying to keep enough lucre coming in to keep going while portraying their 2nd and […]

Here’s an excerpt from an email sent to Andrew Sullivan that I thought was worth addressing… “Many conservatives are b*tching and moaning about some of the legislation, some of the compromises, and lack of spending control; and some criticism is definitely warranted. But one cannot b*tch about the agenda, since (Bush) laid it out on […]

From FOXNews, “A 7-pound block of cyanide salt was discovered by U.S. troops in Baghdad at the end of January, officials confirmed to Fox News. The potentially lethal compound was located in what was believed to be the safe house of Abu Musab Zarqawi, a poisons specialist described by some U.S. intelligence officials as having […]

Last week, I listed how Bush could lose reelection. Now, here’s how the Democrats can win. TOP TEN WAYS THE DEMOCRATS CAN ENSURE VICTORY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 10. So as not to scare moderates, lock all the extreme wacko leftists in an underground cavern feeding them nothing but sardine heads and anti-Bush rhetoric until […]

I think something important has been lost in all of the hubbub about David Kay’s recent comments. Quite understandably, most people have been focusing on the fact that Kay says that there was not a, “large-scale production program in (Iraq in) the ’90s”. That’s certainly something worth discussing and it merits an investigation to find […]

If John Kerry is the nominee, one of themes you can expect to see the GOP hit is that the senator from Taxachusetts can’t be trusted to defend America from terrorists. Kerry can cry “Vietnam” all he wants, but RNC Research has the goods straight from Kerry’s long and undistinguished Senate record (Check out the […]

I wasn’t even going to bother to comment Janet Jackson showing one of her ta-tas at the Super Bowl halftime show since everyone else on the planet has already had their say, but this comment by Howard Dean demanded a response… “I find that to be a bit of a flap about nothing. I’m probably […]

I last ranked the political blogs the political blogs back in June of 2003 and I thought it was time to do it again. I think you’ll find that the rankings have changed quite a bit since then in some cases. (Cont)

Hey George Bush! You put forth an immigration plan that is wildly unpopular with the American people & that infuriated most of your base — and for what? Ostensibly so you could pander to pro-illegal immigration Latinos & dirtball business owners who want to hire illegal aliens and let the rest of America pick up […]

Paris, France – Speaking from his presidential campaign headquarters this morning, Senator John F. Kerry-Heinz denied accusations from his opponents for the Democrat nomination that he is a “glorified gigolo” and “playboy” who has used his wife’s millions to garner a top position in the crowded field for the Democrat nomination. Kerry-Heinz seemed particularly upset […]

Wealthy U.S. Senators from both sides of the aisle today agreed to use their personal funds to make up the difference between the promised cost of the new Medicare drug benefit and the latest Bush administration cost estimates — a gap of about $130 billion over 10 years. “Like any other business, when you make […]

Dallas (AP) – released 9 minutes ago. Junior Senator Hillary Clinton of New York was flying cross-country tonight in her private plane and was forced to make a emergency landing in southern Texas because of bad weather. She was unhurt and the National Transportation Safety Board officials have determined that pilot error was the cause […]

Because I believe we can learn from all living creatures — well, except the French — I have been observing my dog Patton in an effort to gain an insight into his keen doggy wisdom. Now after watching Patton, I am ready to share… The Top 10 Things I’ve Learned From Watching My Dog 10) […]

Robert B. Reich had a column in the New York Times today about building a “progressive movement”. Here are a few excerpts that’ll give you the gist of column… “The dismal fifth-place showing by Senator Joseph Lieberman in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday serves as both reminder and motivator to the other Democratic presidential […]

When I heard last night that George Bush intended to increase the budget of the National Endowment of the Arts for 15-20 million dollars, the largest increase in two decades, I just could not believe it. Bush is already being blasted for spending too much money, his base doesn’t like the National Endowment for the […]

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced today it would fund a special production of Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’ as a tribute to President George Bush. The announcement comes on the same day as news that the President will request $15-$20 million in additional funding for the NEA, a government agency which […]

Now that David Kay is saying that Iraq didn’t produce significant quantities of WMD in the nineties, we’ve had the same old people, making the same old ridiculous claims that “Bush lied” about WMD. That’s simply not true. The intelligence community has been consistently saying all along that Saddam had WMD and the easiest way […]

We often hear left-wingers moaning about the “crushing of dissent,” but in reality, many left-wingers see, quite comfortable with trying to silence people with whom they disagree. The latest example of this is in Tennessee which, “has more than 100 specialty license plates, supporting everything from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to out-of-state colleges.” […]

I’m still trying to work on my book that will analyze the methods and motives of liberals. I meant to get a whole chapter done yesterday, but something came up and I didn’t finish it. Anyway, here is what I got so far, and I’d love to hear some opinions. Is it too zany? Not […]

Since John Kerry — or as I think of him, Senator Flip-Flop — has won in New Hampshire, he now has to be considered the odds on favorite to take the Democratic nomination. So, I thought it was time to put out my first batch of John Kerry quotes. While Kerry is not as wacky […]

Here’s David Frum on the support Bush is currently getting from his conservative base, “I’ve been traveling from one talk-radio station to another, listening both to the callers and the hosts, when the mikes are on and when the mikes are off. Twelve months ago, the support for President Bush among conservatives was rock-solid: I […]

Just for entertainment’s sake, here is what I’m listening to right now… 3 Days Grace — I hate everything about you 3 Doors Down — Here without you Chris Cagel — Chicks dig it Cold — Stupid girl Sheryl Crow — Soak up the sun Creed — One last breath The Delphonics — Didn’t I […]

It’s not a shoe-in that Bush will be elected president once again, so I’d thought I’d list what could most likely throw off his campaign. TOP TEN WAYS BUSH COULD LOSE THE ELECTION 10. New double-butterfly ballot causes stupid voters to accidentally vote for who they meant to vote for. 9. For his T.V. spots, […]

I consider David Kay to be a credible source, so if he says that , “I don’t think there was a large-scale production program in (Iraq in) the ’90s,” I think that is highly likely to be the case. That means that I and a lot of other people including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, […]

Last night, I listened to a two hour long show on National Public Radio called, “The Blogging of the President.” To be blunt, it was punishingly dull. The show featured a host who knew almost nothing about blogging, columnists like Richard Reeves and Frank Rich who knew almost nothing about blogging, callers who for the […]

Take a look at this Q&A from John Pilger, a popular, “mainstream,” lefty pundit in Australia who has been published at the BBC, LA Times, New York Times, The Guardian, Daily Mirror, & The Sydney Morning Herald among other places … Q: Do you think the anti-war movement should be supporting Iraq’s anti-occupation resistance? John […]

A shocking and strongly worded advertisement placed in The New York Times and signed by “A. Hitler” has compared MoveOn.org to President Bush. All sides are now offended. The full page ad was at first misplaced by Times staff, and found just yesterday under copies of book manuscripts Jayson Blair was working on before he […]
