Three Blind Mice
(2 comments) Congress is considering a bail-out? $25 billion? Where were these "lawmakers" when the auto executives were intimidating them into believing simple mileage increases or catalytic converters or safety modifications or anything reasonable or sensible added to the design of Detroit's gas-eating behemoths would somehow sink the entire industry. What sort of hearings were held then?

Flop Sweat
The Old Pimp is losing in Florida, right? His poll numbers are tanking faster than you can say "hanging chad," right? And...and...there are lots of Jewish voters in Florida, right? Well, then, they can be fooled again, right?

Remember, Remember, the 5th of November...
(7 comments) When have the citizens of this - or any other - society truly had the power promised by casting a ballot? And yet, troop to the Diebold machines we must. Not to do so would bring the scorn of our neighbors and a certain self-loathing made more painful by the ever present media directive: Vote! Or shut up! Or consider yourself a terrible citizen, worthy of banishment!

Demons. Devils. Republicans. Oh, My...
(2 comments) When Palin's asked to consider a nuclear attack on Russia after having risen to the presidency because face cancer ate McCrazy's head -- is that when Palin screeches out the names of demons? Babbles for Jesus' protection? Spins in circles while thunder and vile odors and otherworldly screams roll and reverberate through the White House?

Brain Damage
(8 comments) Seriously, is Sarah Palin still McCrazy's running mate? What's it gonna take to get this freakish church lady's staccato gibberish out of everyone's ears? I'm waiting for that melt-down moment - that I hope will come during her VP "debate" with Biden - when her arms shoot straight up in the air, her eyes roll back in their sockets, her head starts to bob, and she starts shrieking in tongues.

The Gruesome Twosome (Cont'd...)
(1 comments) He's a sick joke. She's a religious freak. Together, they clearly identify the Republican Party.

The Uncle Charlie Interview
He is vetted by the Christo-Freaks. "Amen," they agree. "Uncle Charlie will do." They hand him the list of questions. The lights dim in the studio specially designed for lipstick-pig woman's Big Moment. There is a rustling sound. In the distance, a dog barks.

Crash...
(1 comments) So, the lost souls call themselves "PUMAs" which, I've learned, means "Party Unity My Ass." Wow. That's really cool. Has such a Middle School, pre-teen flavor to it. "Two bits, Four bits, Six bits, a Dollar! All for Hillary, Stand up and Holler!" Ya-aaaaaay! (Shriek! Shriek! Scream! Scream! Jump up and down! Sob! Pull your hair!)

Lord of the Credit Cards
(2 comments) there's so much more about Senator Biden's legislative efforts that brings smiles to the faces of the Blessed Corporate Overlords who have funded so much of the Democratic Party, who have written check after check, sometimes even more (gasp!) than to Republicans, who now can relax, don't worry, it's been handled, all is okay, we're home free, Bush is on the way out, the new "Bush" is in the wings.

Stranger Than Fiction...
(9 comments) Well, now we know. Thank goodness, too. For the past seven years it's just been driving me crazy. How in the world did WTC number 7 manage to collapse if it was not hit by anything during the 9/11 attack and no explosives were set deliberately. Sheesh, what a mystery . . .

The Shoe Lady Speaks...
(4 comments) The hot war raging between Russia and the Republic of Georgia is yet another indicator of both Rice's uselessness and the ongoing global ahaos perpetrated by the Cheney cabal. His acid fingerprints are all over this destructive confrontation.

August...
(3 comments) It's not difficult for me to imagine another early August morning 63 years ago; to invent another cute little four-year-old girl working in the garden with her mother or grandmother. Instead of north Georgia, however, this imaginary little girl is digging holes in the ground and spreading mulch around azalea bushes in the Chugoku region of western Honshu, the largest island in the archipelago that is the nation of Japan.

High Crimes and Misdemeanors
(18 comments) Don't you think it's time, Ms. Speaker, for you to get the hell out of the way and allow the U.S. Constitution to function as the Framers intended? If you insist on ignoring your oath of office, so be it. But why not let the investigation - the equivalent to a criminal court preliminary hearing - begin? Or is there something in the impeachment testimony that might link you as a co-conspirator?

China, Bound
President Chucklenuts is off to Asia to visit a handful of countries - including China on the opening day of the Olympics - as he spends the next seven days pissing off heads of state, embarrassing career U.S. embassy staffs, making goofy remarks at inopportune times, and demonstrating yet again the utter stupidity that the rest of the civilized world is convinced must be rampant in the U.S.

Republican Slime
(1 comments) McCain, working willingly with the same Republican filth that engineered Bush's twin thefts of the presidency over two superior candidates, Al Gore and John Kerry, now finds himself where he is most comfortable–in the political gutter. His handlers understand his campaign for president is going nowhere. The country is not in the mood for another half-witted Repub thug who will continue on the course to national destruction.

Mike Malloy: Keep It Lit...
(3 comments) The families that have been destroyed by the prison time that results from violation of marijuana laws are innumerable. Who keeps track? Who cares? The anguish of children separated from parents who are sentenced to decades in a lock-up for growing or selling or just smoking reefer is horrific and from which the kids may never recover.

Mike Malloy: At Work in the Fields of the Lord
On March 26, 2007, Goodling canceled her upcoming appearance at a Congressional hearing, citing her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. In its history, no Department of Justice employee has ever exercised his/her Fifth Amendment rights with respect to official conduct, and remained an employee.

Fly-Fishing Lessons
(5 comments) Cheney's staff insisted sick vets be locked down(!)for two hours before Cheney's arrival and not be allowed to leave until he'd finished talking. No exceptions. Not even a bathroom break. According to the Daily News, "Many of the vets are elderly and left pieces of themselves on foreign battlefields, and others were crippled by recent service. For health reasons, many can't be stuck in a room for hours."

Mike Malloy: Repetition and Irritation
(1 comments) what better gift to the Democrats this election season than T. Boone's TV ad? Republicans running for office across the country must be peeing their pants every time it plays. One of the centerpieces of a typical fear-saturated Republican political campaign is the lie that all we gotta do is, well, dig more holes. And up will bubble more oil.

Malloy: Coup de Foudre
(2 comments) Will the Israelis and the Palestinians - at the sight of the Mighty Obama striding across the HOLY LAND - fall into each other's arms and shriek their mutual love and forgiveness and lower their eyes and whisper their shame at the way they've all been behaving for the past six goddam DECADES???? Huh? Will that happen?

"You Have My Number..."
(1 comments) How did they do it? How did the Bush Crime Family (BCF) so easily assemble such a collection of amoral, neo-con apparatchiks so willing to subvert the U.S. Constitution and so eager to operate - as they have demonstrated again and again during these horrific Bush/Cheney years - with such complete contempt for the law; any law?

Blockbuster
(3 comments) After seven plus years of this phony and corrupt Bush regime, I am, as are millions of people across the planet, saturated and numbed with the perversity of their actions, in addition to being simply tired of it all. Hannah Arendt was, of course, correct. There is an element of banality infused in the persona of every person who has ever opted for acts of pure evil.

Is Jesse Helms in Hell?
(6 comments) Ol' Jesse was a real godly man, a Christian till the Lord called him home. In fact, what you want to bet that right now ol' Jesse and The Lord aren't sitting around up there in Heaven having a good old-fashioned roll-your-own like they did before tailor-mades came out?

Los Federales
(2 comments) Our very own War Criminal is correct. For the U.S. to join the Court in the age of the Bush Crime Family is completely, incontrovertibly "off the table" as Nancy Pelosi would say in a different context. The crimes against humanity committed by the Bush Regime are well-documented. The record is there, over which future historians will puzzle and scratch their heads in amazement.

The "Ownership Society"
(16 comments) in the final days of this completely corrupt Bush/Republican enterprise, one after another, financial institution after financial institution, all are collapsing, sucked dry, utterly hollowed out, every single asset stolen, and all of it engineered by the most outlaw organization in history.

Contempt
(4 comments) The contempt arises from two primary sources: First, the cowardice displayed by every single operative in the Bush Crime Family where it concerns combat in the wars they force on innocent civilian populations. Do any of these Conservative scum join in the chaos they have created? Do any of their media sycophants? Their offspring?

Prime Directive
(4 comments) The Prime Directive of the Thunderous Killing Machine is to get the oil. Just get the oil. Smash anything and everything that impedes or delays or attempts to prevent that directive. When Corporate America builds a Killing Machine such as the one murdering not just Iraq, but also the U.S. Constitution, this country's honor, and the rule of law, everything is incidental to the Prime Directive: Get The Oil!

Torture R Us (Almost)
(3 comments) President Chucklenuts says the United States does not torture. But the CIA has admitted using waterboarding, (near-drowning) and a recent Justice Department probe cited cases of "short shackling" and other physical techniques like hanging, rape, beatings and death. To Chucklenuts that's not torture, that's fraternity hazing.

A few emails regarding the death of George Carlin
(3 comments) Me? I'll miss him. I'll miss knowing he's here, on the planet. I'll miss his humor, his pissed-off, ironic view of everything, his refusal to be sucked into the vortex. I'm not even going to attempt a remembrance piece. He would look at me cockeyed and ask why are you doing that?

I Don't Remember...
(1 comments) One of the thugs giving testimony was former Pentagon General Counsel William Haynes, who retired in April after his nomination to the federal judiciary went nowhere. In front of the Senate panel he pled ignorance. "No sir, I don't remember it at the time," he said when asked if he had received a memo authorizing the illegal "enhanced interrogation" [torture] techniques.

Stop the Queers!
(6 comments) The National Homophobes (no, it's not a sports team) are clawing at the scenery in great anticipation of their move to undo the recent ruling by the California Supreme Court. That ruling said simply that the equal protection clause of the state's constitution means just that and that gays, just like non-gays, can get married.

Father's Day
The questions are endless and work back, eventually (always) to slavery and the Middle Passage and the denial of humanity, and no right to define one's own sovereignty, and no hope for freedom, and no continuity of family, and no generational memory of home. These are among the reasons there are missing fathers and disintegrating familes.

Not Dead Yet
(2 comments) Just when it becomes easy to believe the United States has truly become enmeshed, trapped, immobilized, in George W. Bush's brand of corporate controlled Fascism, the Supreme Court rules as it did today. Maybe there is hope for our abused and battered nation.

An Apology
(17 comments) This morning it was all over the front pages of those two Newspapers Of Record, The New York Times and The Washington Post. News stories. Opinion pieces. Timelines of crimes committed by these corrupt Bush Administration bastards. Ah, it was glorious. For the first time in my life I was proud, proud I tell you, to be an American. Justice would prevail. The nation would adhere to its founding document. Honor would be restored.

Closin' Time
Remember this? Senator Clinton in a news conference the day Senator Obama won the Wyoming caucuses last March - "Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign. I will bring a lifetime of experience, and Senator Obama will bring a speech that he gave in 2002..."
