Blogsswaggerman ....."If there be one principle more deeply rooted in the mind of every American," Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1791, "it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest." We are here today because our bipartisan governing elite and its media apologists have turned Mr. Jefferson on his head to America’s detriment.
extortionist in chief .....There really is a kind of a tsunami of shocks facing not just the economy but people's lives, people's real lives. They're all intersecting.
the bushit twins .....Yes that is correct, George Bush was found guilty of war crimes. Unfortunately it was determined by the Red Cross and not the Hague, Congress or any facet of our justice system that could physically detain him.
who will rid us of this troublesome priest .....The co-ordinator of World Youth Day, Bishop Anthony Fisher, today responded to a question about Cardinal George Pell's handling of a sexual abuse case by saying:
cookin' the books .....A Treasury Department plan to bolster beleaguered mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be added to a massive housing package working its way through Congress, to be to the president's desk within days, key lawmakers said today.
carrion birds .....What’s so funny about Barack Obama? Apparently not very much, at least not yet. On Monday, The New Yorker magazine tried dipping its toe into broad satire involving Senator Obama with a cover image depicting the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and his wife, Michelle, as fist-bumping, flag-burning, bin Laden-loving terrorists in the Oval Office. The response from both Democrats and Republicans was explosive.
perpetuating a bushit legacy .....The US Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) is the federal agency responsible for all US government & government sponsored, non-military, international broadcasting.
from follywood .....I spent 23 years in the CIA. I drafted or was involved in many of the government's most senior assessments of the threats facing our country. I have devoted years to understanding and combating the jihadist threat. We rightly honor as heroes those who serve our nation and offer their lives to protect ours. We all 'support the troops.' Yet the first step for any commander is to understand the enemy.
all class .....
Iran has condemned US presidential candidate John McCain for his remark that one way of killing Iranians was to export cigarettes to Iran, the official news agency IRNA reports.
the value of life .....It sounds like a spot of gallows humour, but the numbers are no joke: the US environmental protection agency (EPA) has lowered the value of a human life by nearly $1m under George Bush's administration.
acme wars .....The brouhaha surrounding the Iran issue has been taken up several notches on account of this missile launch, but let’s look at how much of a real danger it really poses.
all fall down .....The word began spreading across Wall Street trading desks on Monday morning: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the giant companies at the heart of the nation’s housing market, might be in trouble.
true american .....The following statement from Leonard Peltier was read at the Oglala Commemoration. June 26, 2008 Greetings my relatives,
how fat topsy has grown .....For five years, from 1995 to 2000, Wendy Craik, 58, was executive director of the National Farmers' Federation. Four years ago John Howard's government appointed her executive director of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission. A year later it appointed the National Party's battle-scarred political warrior, Ian Sinclair, 79, the commission's part-time president. Both Craik and Sinclair are still there. Taxpayers fund Craik's annual salary, now $340,000.
