Rebel Repubs tell Bush Where to Stick It, and Markets Plunge Yeah! Attboy! Attagal! Tell Wall Street where to stick it. We'll not throw good money after bad. Your orgy of high-living at our expense is over. Wow, that felt good. Now, what I really think

Ah, look at all the golden parachutes, as Dubya socializes the losses Everybody sing along. "We're all socialists now, we're all socialists now. Dubya's nationalized the economy, we're all socialists now."

So many pigs, so much lipstick--the sad legacy of 9/11 Each year we dress 9/11 in red, white and blue and trot it out for vigils by candlelight and excruciating video. And each year such shows become less meaningful as we recall what we did in the name of 9/11.

McCain's heroic story isn't the whole story; questions need asking It won't be easy to challenge a living icon of military heroism, as McCain is positioning himself, but a baker's dozen questions need asking before it's too late. Is MSM up to the job?

Oops! Seems 'Voodoo Christians' conjured wrong storm It's one thing to pray up a storm. It's quite another to make God's dart hit the bulls-eye.

Hillary Supercharges Convention with Electrifying Support for Obama "I love you. I love you. I love," former President Bill Clinton mouthed toward Hillary shortly after she began speaking Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. And as she finished, many in the hall were chanting the mantra aloud. "We love you Hillary." Ah, what might've been.

Obama/Biden's a brilliant ticket, but only if they win, natch The logic is hard to assail with one obvious exception. First, here's why it's sorta brilliant.

Putin and Bush doomed to waltz through history lost in each other's eyes Bush looked in Putin's eyes and "got a sense of his soul." Yes, Putin's someone Bush could work with. Together, they just might bring on World War IV.

Bush puts big Double-I brand on Olympics--Insulting Incoherency Just hours ago George W. Bush put his distinctive brand on the 2008 Olympics in China. You know the brand. It marks all Bush initiatives. The big Double-I. Insulting Incoherency.

Church shootings and candle lights vie beneath 'Bible black' skies The sky was Bible black and ringing with thunder last night above Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in West Knoxville. You know it as the building where Jim D. Adkisson carried a shotgun inside a guitar case Sunday morning and shot nine people during a children's performance of the musical "Annie." None of the children were shot, but two adults later died.

Fannie Mae mess is just latest layer on Chef Dubya's tottering cake This is only the latest layer in a tall leaning cake historians will someday deconstruct like archaeologists at a dig to try and figure how we could've allowed such a chef as George W. Bush in the kitchen to begin with.

On Barack Obama and 'the art of the possible' You hung it all out there for your latest hero, Barack Hussein Obama. So how does he repay you? He does the utterly predictable thing and steps down off the pedestal you put him on.

Three reasons Obama will beat McCain; charisma, charisma, charisma He's tall, youthful, chiseled, athletic, sincere and exotic. When has either party offered such an attractive nominee? Go down the list. Johnson? Nixon? McGovern? Ford? Carter? Dukakis? Mondale? Obama's the rock star of politics. His time is now.

What a sweet, gracious, generous speech; Hillary endorses Obama! Hillary Clinton can flat deliver a speech, and her latest is for the ages, because there was nothing flat about what she said or how she said it Saturday shortly before 1 p.m., when she endorsed Barack Obama and pledged to work her heart out for him!

Is Obama big enough to ask Hillary onto ticket despite RFK gaffe Asking Hillary to be his running mate would demonstrate an almost transcendent big-mindedness, largeness of spirit and good will on Obama's part, and that's what he's been running on isn't it?

Hillary's Words Provide Cover for Bush War Crimes Should George W. Bush send missiles screaming across ancient Persian skies in coming weeks or months, he might well cite remarks by Hillary Clinton when justifying his latest crimes.

Barack knocks Rev. Wright's remarks out of the ballpark It might've been strike 3 for Barack Obama, but he knocked the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's comments out of the ball park in about as clean and forceful a swing as you're likely to see in the World Series of politics.
