Food For Thought: What If Gore Had Won
(2 comments) Here's an article I originally published in May of 2005, speculating what would've happened if Gore had not had the presidency stolen from him in 2000. How would our country and our world be different now? Ohhhh.. in sooo many ways... in soooo many ways.

Stuck Between Iraq and a Hard Place
(1 comments) It must be very difficult to be a Republican presidential candidate right now. You have to tow the party line to get the nomination, even though that 'party line' is so far out of the mainstream.

Be Strong, Congress - Tell Bush To "Take It Or Leave It!"
(6 comments) Our government is heading for a showdown with the supplimental war appropriations bill. Bush certainly doesn't deserve this money to continue funding his war, but the Dems are willing to give it to him as long as there's some semblence of an exit strategy. Here's my message to the Dems - don't back down!

John McCain Just Doesn't Get It - II
(2 comments) The massacre of Virginia Tech SHOULD have reinforced the common-sense need for gun control. Instead, John McCain went in exactly the opposite direction.

Don't Let The Neo-cons Frame "The Message"
(1 comments) The Democrats need to get control of 'the message'. Instead of "winning the war" we need to frame the message as "ending the occupation".

Under Oath, On The Record, & In Public
There's only one possible reason the Bush Administration is resisting having their senior officials testify under oath, on the record, and in public. It's an admission of guilt.

Scooter & Gonzo - Fall Guys For A Corrupt Presidency
The rot in the Bush Administration goes to the very top. But somehow they've conveniently arranged for others to take the fall for their corruption and scandals.

An Open Letter To Our Troops
(5 comments) A short message to our men & women serving in the military. We support you, appreciate you, and have the utmost gratitude for your efforts. Please don't take our anti-war messages as a knock against you. Our message is against the President and his greedy neo-con mission; not against the brave troops who have carried out their orders as commanded.

Some Tough-Talking Republicans
The Republican talking points are getting so predictable and monotonous. When you talk about people not having original ideas, point to the right, not the left.

2009 Can't Come Soon Enough
(1 comments) The next two years under the Bush Administration will be a long dark cloud, just like the last 6 years. If this world is still around in 2009, there's reason for optimism. Here're my predictions for the balance of the Bush presidency.

Dick Cheney: The Pure Evil Behind The President
(26 comments) The biggest evil in the White House is not the President. It's the Vice President. Dick Cheney is motivated by greed, power, profit, and conquest. From his non-stop lies he's lost ALL credibility. So, why is the media still listening to him?

Underneath The "Surge" Strategy
Bush and company intend to proceed with the escalation of the Iraq conflict despite all advice & evidence against it. Those of us paying attention know that this "surge" is all about Iran & Syria. Iraq is just the conduit for the neo-con's next conquest.

Mr. Bush, Put Your Presidency Where Your Mouth Is
This is my message to President Bush. Escalation of this conflict is so far out of the mainstream opinion, are you willing to risk your presidency on it?

No Progressive Talk Radio? Try Podcasting!
If you're a progressive living in the Boston area, you were side-swiped by the loss of our only progressive talk radio station. Here's an idea that's worth looking into.

Once Again Bush Gets It Wrong. Who'd O' Thunk?
(3 comments) After 3 1/2 years of this foreign policy debacle, after the 2006 mid-term elections, and after so many credible sources saying we need to be extricating ourselves from Iraq, George W. Bush is actually thinking about sending in MORE troops. What an idiot!

Did The Holocaust Really Happen?
(14 comments) After hearing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's tirades against Israel, and then holding a conference for the specific reason of denying the Holocaust really happened, I just have to get something off my chest.

Will Bush Listen? Do Pigs Fly?
(7 comments) Newsweek posed a very interesting question. Here's my take on answering it. He'll SAY he's listening, but pay close attention to his actions, not his words.

John McCain Just Doesn't Get It
(1 comments) While just about everyone else in the world is encouraging redeployment, John McCain is one of the few advocating for MORE troops in Iraq. What is he thinking?

A Taste of Right-Wing Hate Mail
(5 comments) I thought it would be interesting to share a little hate mail I received following an article I wrote about President Bush finally admitting the existence of the secret 'black-site' prisons. Apparently some people in this country are perfectly okay with Bush's torture policies and the decimation of the Geneva Convention. I'm not.

Put Impeachment Back On The Table
(3 comments) I know the Dems want to take it slow and methodical, and I applaud them for that. They're taking the high road instead of being vindictive & retaliatory. They're willing to work with him as a majority party. However, the things I'm hearing from Dubya now are so bad, I really don't think we can work with him for 2 more years.

"It Was A Thumpin'"
Yes, Bush and the Republicans lost the mid-term election of 2006. So, what's next? Will Bush sincerely 'work with' the Democratic majority? Who'll be 'the obstuctionist' now???

One Last Plea For Change
(4 comments) Tuesday's mid-term election comes down to a matter of staying the course (in more ways than one) or changing the direction of our country. It also comes down to a matter of having a rubber-stamp Congress, or checks-and-balances in our government.

Binary Thinking – Another Reason To Oust The Republican Majority
(2 comments) President Bush has set up our country for a rude awakening by insisting on 'winning the war on terrorism in Iraq'. But our OCCUPATION of Iraq is not a game that can be won or lost. Such is the ignorant mindset of the 'binary thinker'.

Bush Changes His Rhetoric, But Continues To Ignore The Genocide
(2 comments) No longer 'staying the course', President Bush now has a plan for victory. However, he's changing the wrong rhetoric, and ignoring the reality of what's going on in Iraq.

Iraq for Sale - Another Referendum Against Republican Control
War profiteering in Iraq is not news, but this documentary compiles it all nicely into one astonishing video. What bothers me the most however, is that the Republican Congress has allowed it to happen.

Trying to Understand the North Korean Nookular Crisis
(2 comments) The situation with North Korea has escalated into a crisis. As per standard GOP procedure, the Republicans are quick to blame Clinton, but the facts know that this is all Bush.

Foleygate Analyzed - The Conservative Response & Reaction
(5 comments) Of all the aspects of the Mark Foley scandal, the one I find most disgusting is the reaction from conservatives and the GOP. How did this become an opportunity for bashing gays, liberals, and Democrats?

Keith Olbermann - An Honest American
(1 comments) Had enough of Bush and his cronies trying to blame 9/11 on President Clinton? So have I. And, so has Keith Olbermann. His rant on the subject is an absolute must-see (the link is enclosed).

War Or Not War
(1 comments) The Bush Administration keeps telling us there's no civil war in Iraq. But the evidence tells us otherwise. Who do you believe? Your lying President or your lying eyes?

The Big Lie - "Our Economy Is Strong"
(3 comments) Bush and the neo-cons continue to tout our "strong economy". Don't believe it. Even if they throw statistics at you, it's all a fallacy. Check out my metaphor.

More Lies - Bush Finally Comes Clean On Secret CIA Prisons
(1 comments) Once again, our beloved president has painted himself as a liar. He might as well be wearing a sign reading "I cannot be trusted". But this lie is all about political gain.

From A Glass House, Rummy Throws Stones
Donald Rumsfeld has not earned the right to go on the offensive. Given his incompetence and history, this offensive is the epotime of chutzpah & hypocrisy.

The Neo-cons Just Don't Get It
(1 comments) This "War on Terror" is nothing but a farce. It's an evil scheme to incite perpetual conflict, and hence fuel the Military-Industrial-Complex and the power-grabbing executive branch of government.

Dick Cheney - Stumping or Stumbling for the GOP?
(3 comments) This man is the biggest embarassment to the GOP, the United States of America, and mankind in general. And he's tring to convince me to vote Republican BECAUSE of all the violence in the Middle East?

Joe Lieberman Just Doesn't Get It
(1 comments) Joe will lose to Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary in August. But why will he continue in the race as an Independent? There's only one reason.

Ann Coulter Just Doesn't Get It

Bush Admin. - Shoot The Messenger / Shoot Own Foot
