Cool. Apparently without irony, he told reporters that he is going to go dove-hunting. Seriously. People think that Rove was an "evil genius" because of his strategic brilliance. Carpetbagger thinks that a lot of hype, but: His significance has everything to do with his cutthroat, win-at-all-cost style. Rove believes the political rule that there are no rules. Laws are meant … Read More
UFO in Haiti?
Is this short video of UFOs, reportedly shot last week, real or fake? I’m going with fake, and here’s why. Look at the palm trees in the video. They all look exactly alike. A very clever forgery though.
PostSecret
I’ve plugged this website before, but it’s worth mentioning it again, now that this "promotional video" is going viral:
Dick Cheney ’94: Invading Baghdad Would Create Quagmire
Hmmmmm….. The response, of course is that "9/11 changed everything". Except, you know, the consequences of invading Iraq. Here’s the transcript of the key moments: Q: Do you think the U.S., or U.N. forces, should have moved into Baghdad? A: No. Q: Why not? A: Because if we’d gone to Baghdad we would have been all alone. There wouldn’t have … Read More

Bush Today, On Accountability
Bush says at one point, "Lewis Libby was held accountable", but of course, we all knew that Libyy wan’t held accountable. Bush pardoned him. On the subject of Gonzales, members of Congress from both parties have called Gonzales’ credibility and leadership of the Justice Department into question after congressional testimony on a number of issues.

Poor Marie. She so badly wants to write an article with insightful political analysis about Hillary Clinton, the current Democratic frontrunner for President ’08. But she just can’t. Or can she?

"If we have actionable … Read More

If you had to spend one year living alone in a remote cabin, what would you spend your time doing? Definitely writing the great play or novel or whatever. Catching up on DVDs in … Read More
Not So Fast, Hank….
"I move over now," Aaron said on the screen as everyone, including Bonds, stopped to watch, "and offer my best wishes to Barry and his family on this historic achievement." Move over if you want, Hank, but to many, the record is still yours. Bonds may have the higher number, but your achievement was greater. You did it purely on … Read More
Cardboard Kids
Is the traffic on your street going too fast? Do what this guy did. Place full-size cardboard cutouts of kids on your lawn (preferably near the road). Motorists see them and slow down (and some of them even shout at the "kids" for playing too close to the street.
