I ask you to view the video below, and remember those who have died as a result of Bush's War including those who, like Jessica Rich, died in a "non-combat" situation. This was filmed at Camp Casey/Colorado Springs as Jessica was preparing to enter a treatment facility for PTSD . She was killed in a head-on collision and had a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit. Friends say

For the first time in 2 years, Michael Moore gives an interview to Bill Maher to discuss his new film "Siko", exposing the greed of the insurance industry and the state of health care.

Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wa), called out the Dictator and his puppet-master Dick Cheney by placing on the record some well needed truth regarding the history of US involvement in Iran, and the real reason for the invasion of Iraq. From AlterNet:Mr. Speaker: This president and vice president have vowed to repeat the mistakes of history, and they have put into motion a plan to do just that in Iran,

While the dictator-in-chief talked tough about the inquiry into Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' involvement in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys last year, the Democrats responded in kind. From Reuters"I would hope the Senate and the Congress would move expeditiously to finish their hearings and get on to the business of passing legislation," Bush told a news conference.

Does anyone besides me make a connection between George's tough talk in a speech today at the Coast Guard Academy where he argued that a withdrawal from Iraq would allow Al Qaeda to flourish and the release of a report from the IAEA saying that despite earlier sanctions, Iran continues to enrich uranium -- which can provide fuel for civilian reactors but also make nuclear bombs.

Last week when the Gonzales cover-up was making headlines, the Washington Post Editorial Board wrote this about the Bush administration:WHY IS IT only now that the disturbing story of the Bush administration's willingness to override the legal advice of its own Justice Department is emerging? The chief reason is that the administration, in the person of Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales,

How long ago was it, 3 weeks? 6 weeks? when all the paragons of virtue in the media and the leaders of the black community rose with one voice demanding the head of Imus for a so-called racist remark. Well my friends please explain to me why these same people are not raising the roof and demanding a boycott of sponsors of Rush Limbaugh. I urge you to view the video below and tell me this isn't a

The track record of Paul Wolfowitz is well known among those of us in the reality-based community. Therefore, his latest scandal should come as no surprise. Now word has leaked out about a four-letter word tirade that surfaced during the investigation concerning massive wage packages given to Shaha Riza, a World Bank employee and Mr Wolfowitz's girlfriend.

Back on May 2nd, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) subpoenaed Alberto Gonzales to turn over all e-mails to or from Karl Rove in connection U.S. attorney scandal. Leahy avoided any possibility of the White House claiming "Executive Privilege" because the subpoena was issued to the Justice Department. Gonzales was given a deadline of 2 p.m today to hand them over. Well that

Jerry Falwell has died and even though it isn't politically correct, I refuse to play the game that the network and cable news will surely play. The media and I am sure most politicians will speak of him as being just a hair short of sainthood. Well I'm sorry but to hide this man's hateful and bigoted ways just because he is dead is nothing more than hypocrisy in the extreme. No one knew how to

This in my opinion, is one of the most important celebrations we can take part in. Sure their is St. Paddy's day or New Years, but let's face it those are very self-centered celebrations. Mother's Day? Well there is just nothing comparable to it. Remember, mother gave us life and kept us supplied with most life sustaining nutrients necessary to survive and grow in our warm protection of mother's

We all know that the best way to protect and show support for our troops is to bring them home. Be they American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, or Canadian forces in Afghanistan - damn it! - bring them home. Has not enough blood been shed because of this CONservative President, and our CONservative Prime Minister to quench their miserable thirst? Before everyone starts hitting me with email

Let's take a break from the madness of politics, and focus on something more important - these children:Autism Speaks created a music video of the Five for Fighting song, "World", which features images of autistic children and their families.

Apparently the Bush administration has taken the Winston Churchill quote "History is written by the victors" into the video age. The official White House website is now sporting a very different version of President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech. In this exclusive video, Inside Minnesota Politics' Mike McIntee shows how the "Mission Accomplished" banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln has

In this new Robert Greenwald production, spoken-word artist Steven Connell asks what we've accomplished in the war on Iraq. On the fourth anniversary of the unfurling of Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" banner, it's time to propose your own banner. The winning phrase will be made into a bumper sticker.Contact Tell Us The Mission HERE, if you have a banner to suggest.

As I posted here , Rudy Guliani is now parroting King George and using 911 and all the scare tactics that come with it in his bid for President. Of course if a Democrat wins we won't be safe and a terrorist attack will be definite. The only person who can keep us safe is a Republican President, who of course would be him. Well Keith Olbermann has a view on that. See the video below courtesy of

"Be it Resolved, that George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney, by such conduct, warrant impeachment and trial, and removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States".

All I can say about Laura Bush's performance on NBC's Today show this morning is that she is a selfish, self-centered bitch. Of course this is typical of anyone from the Bush family whether of their bloodline or married to it. Hell - it's a requirement to have a cold, selfish and self-centered heart to belong to that family. What's got my dander up? I quote:"You know the American people are

Rudy Giuliani is now appealing to the right-wing crazies in his Presidential election bid. In a stump speech at New England College in Henniker, N.H., he is quoted by Politico.com as saying:.....if a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001. But if a Republican is elected, he said, especially if it is him,

Keith Olbermann gave us the enjoyment of a double smack-down last week, taking on two of the best known scumbags he could possibly pick. First he awarded Fox News talking head Bill O'Reilly a "bronze" medal for defending Republican presidential candidate Tommy Thompson's statement in a speech to the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism that "earning money" is "sort of part of the Jewish

According to the L.A. Times, (registration required) the Office of Special Counsel will investigate U.S. attorney firings and other political activities led by Karl Rove. If this is indeed true Land I have no doubt it is}, this will throw the entire Bush Administration into turmoil.First, the inquiry comes from inside the administration, not from Democrats in Congress.

As I posted here yesterday,....governments will definitely carry out an attack on their own people if they have something to gain. Usually the "gain", is to make the citizenry so fearful they will allow the government to impose any sanction on their rights it deems necessary in the name of "Homeland Security".I would now invite you to read an article I came across at Information Clearing House by
