  Following a trip to Iraq, Senator Carl Levin has suggested that the current Maliki leadership should be replaced with a less sectarian government…one that will seek political solutions to the many issues which remain unresolved and are serving as a source of ongoing conflict and violence.

  Several people have noted this in depth expose by Evan Thomas about the stalled hunt for Osama Bin Laden. And like them, this bit here stuck out to me.

  Larry Craig quit this weekend while I was on the beach on the Jersey shore. That’s not fair. But this story about the resignation gives us something to ponder. First, we remember Craig’s denial. “I am not gay. I never have been gay,” Craig said defiantly after a news conference Tuesday. He said he had kept the incident

  commentary about hypocrite Republicans, Republican sex criminals, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah. Damn, that Larry Craig, I thought! How COULD he do the right thing! Thankfully, I was wrong to get upset. The Republican Party, in part aided by our home state’s Senator, Arlen Specter, has come through, prolonging a scandal they could

  I’ve decided to tattoo the word “stupid” on my forehead. I’ve been considering it throughout the last four plus years of being treated as such by the Bush administration. As soon as I get my tattoo, I’m signing up to become one of the live moles in a new carnival game called human whack-a-mole…a game that has

  I’m sure, though, that Republicans will have no problem with forgetfulness with their candidate. The elected a mental midget like Bush a couple times, after all, and he surrounds himself with forgetters like Scooter Libby and Alberto Gonzales. Maybe forgetting is a way of appealing to the Republican base? Italian newspapers are reporting

  13 homes. This is not just incompetence -- it borders on criminal negligence. Of course, the Republicans on the state and federal levels are blaming each other (they can't blame the Democrats because Republicans created the funds and the rules for its dispersal).During the same two-year period, four faith-based groups (such as the Methodist

Well, I don’t know what true conservatism is, but while doing research for my forthcoming book I spent a lot of time studying the history of the American political movement that calls itself conservatism and Mr. Bush hasn't strayed from the path

  Unfortunately, the natural Republican inclination toward cheap fixes and cronyism resulted in a sweetheart no-bid contract deal that provided untested equipment that later had to be recalled. First responders were forced to go back to using the old radios which again failed them on 9/11. You can view the video here. For me, the most telling
