- Bill Kristol on Ron Paul: He's a crackpot
America's favorite neocon commentator takes a crack at America's favorite quasi-Libertarian presidential candidate. Hey, might as well - everyone else is ripping Paul, as they always do when anyone gets too big for his britches. Kristol is particularly caustic, defending in an oblique manner a war that cost 600,000 American lives...
in Public bookmarks - Can Americans be convinced Islam isn't the black sheep of religions?
With a recent article, "The List: The World's Stupidest Fatwas," Foreign Policy, of all publications, manifests a lack of political correctness that's not only surprising, but borders on the giddy. In the process, it provides us with a glimpse into how difficult it is to convince Americans that Islam is not the black sheep of religions...

SS: ...Why do you believe that an artist's opinion on politics should matter? GP: I don't participate actively in expressing political views and always turn down the offer of appearing on bills for political causes. Surely, everybody's opinions on politics matter, apart from very stupid people, who should shut the f?!k up...
in Public bookmarks - How stupid do Christian politicians believe God really is?
I often think the only thing sillier than the average American is the person he elects to represent him. As you might expect, I've read the Bible, and have often wondered at those who have difficulty grasping its stance on the material world's relation to the celestial...

The Iraqi "government" has expelled Blackwater Security from its job to commit legalized mayhem provide security services in Iraq - for now, anyway. And Rep. Waxman is promising hearings on Blackwater's activities in Iraq...

A video that's gotta be seen (and heard) to be believed: it's New Mexico Congressional candidate Darren White, presently a county sheriff, in an early '90s anti-drug rocker entitled "Just Say No." Wonderfully cheesy local production values are in full swing. Enjoy...

Exclusive Q&A with writer Taibbi. Snippet - "If and when I ever get to be Interior Minister, one of my first acts is going to be the putting to death of anyone who thinks God interferes in the outcome of things like sporting events and elections. I'd want to have a giant shark tank built expressly for this purpose. Just throw them in there and then dump a couple of barrels of cow blood in the water..."

Unlike all the damp-eyed accolades from certain members of the press, stalwart American journalist Bill Moyers has no love for the hastily departing Turd Blossom. "Karl Rove figured out a long time ago that the way to take an intellectually incurious, draft-averse, naughty playboy in a flight jacket with chewing tobacco in his back pocket and make him governor of Texas was to sell him as God's anointed..."

Another trollop named Monica, another White House scandal involving blown jobs. Does it ever end? Former White House aide Monica Goodling today testified before a House panel that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales did in fact see a list of fired-ass US Attorneys, after he said publicly that he had not. See for yourself...

New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg says Sen. Barack Obama isn't eligible to be president due to his lack of experience, if this Politico report is to be believed. Incidentally, you may have heard that Bloomberg is also interested in running for president. Being old, rich, and Prince of the City, he's a natural choice over Obama, he might suggest. But the Constitution of the United States list these and only these requirements to be president...

Er, the D.C. economy, at any rate. From his latest exclusive newsletter: "[F]ew Americans know that a very small number of Washington-connected families negotiate, appropriate and benefit from large expenditures of taxpayer money on a small number of companies through the earmarking process." Another interesting bit from his latest is his take on the dust-up between Sens. Clinton & Obama at the recent Dem YouTube debate...

in Public bookmarks - Democrats sell out America thanks to spy bill vote
What an absolute disgrace this is. Not only did the Democrats almost completely cave in to the Bush junta on this most critical issue they actually gave him more power. Unbelievable. How can any Democrat paint themselves as a logical alternative to the GOP when you have this kind of sycophancy going on? Aren't we past this knee-jerk "ZOMG THE TERRORISTS ARE COMING TO KILL US!!!11111″ nonsense yet, that we should so easily give up the rights for which we're supposedly fighting? What makes this even worse is...
in Public bookmarks - FISA failure demonstrates why we need real progressives in Congress
I'm still mulling over the massive Democratic capitulation that enabled Bush to pass into law the most sweeping violation of Americans' privacy yet--legalizing an illegal program, and making it stronger to boot. Why did this happen? Why did Democrats in both chambers of Congress roll over and give Mr. 28% carte blanche to spy on Americans without any recourse? Why throw away all the political capital that could have been gained from opposing him? As I said in my previous post about the FISA collapse, it wasn't just Democrats who helped push this ugly bill into law--many of the supporters were newly-elected netroots Democrats, who came to Congress on a platform of change and opposing Bush on his draconian usurpation of the rule of law. It's not the first tim

News that Human Events endorsed Fred Thompson barely made a ripple. That's probably because Thompson has barely made a ripple himself. He might get a boost in SC, where his demonizing brand of swagger seems to resonate. Is that what Human Events is banking on?

Bob Novak writes in his take on the recent Dem/GOP debates that Sen. Hillary Clinton, whom Novak accidentally identifies as a Republican, "is slow-walking her way toward the nomination, which is often a path leading to defeat." Why defeat? Because Novak reveals that...

That's the question on everyone's lips since the porcine political player announced he would be stepping down at the end of August. Of course, the excuse that he wants to spend more time with his family is horse puckey and we all know it--so what's really going on? Is he trying to give Bush political cover if he gets ensnared in one of the many investigations that keep leading back to...
