  It’s Monday, and like most people feel at the start of their work week, I just can’t seem to get up the gumption to blog coherently about anything in particular. So let’s see what Shootin’ Thru The ‘Tubes: Like many who blog, I don’t get paid for my opinions. I blog for the passion (some might say obsession) of

• Surge a Success Declares Skeptics!

  Yea, only in Wingnutia (and Fox News) could ‘totally and utterly failed’ be considered ‘praise’ for the troop surge. That’s how Sen. Carl Levin described his take after a recent furlough to that war torn country. But then, I can understand the confusion because Levin is applying his criticism to goals that are no

  Perhaps the fact that the Republican Party seems to treat this and so many other issues as nothing more than political calculations is what is troubling voters? From my vantage point, Republican candidates have spent years using the immigration issue to pander to competing constituents such that the majority of the wells have been poisoned

  Catapulting Phony Ponies Last month, an op-ed in the New York Times prompted all sorts of media attention. Here we had two so-called “critics” of the Iraq war claiming the surge as actually working. Nevermind that these two “critics” were anything but. Nonetheless, the narrative was propagated far and wide in the mainstream

  for her comments about how Republicans might exploit a pre-election terror attack. Judging from the criticisms, it’s as if Clinton uttered some taboo claim. I mean come on people, it’s not like this hasn’t been out there in the ether. Heck there are those actively advocating for another attack. I understand people getting

  The Commander Guy Stops By While most Americans were off for Labor Day (sans yours truly), President Bush was making like a laborious used car salesman, making another surprise visit to Iraq to try to sell his surge strategy. Seems he’s holding out hope that his successor will pick up the payments of blood and treasure on his lemon of a war.

  I apologize for yet another piece about the Larry Craig issue, but this is a bit typical of the wingnuts over at WorldNetDaily. They’ve got Joseph Farah giving speculating on what Senator Craig’s legal team has up their sleeves, and the analysis is simply laughable. I’ll excerpt here, but if you’ve got a masochistic

  TGIF and here’s what Shootin’ Thru The ‘Tubes: Top story on the blogs is the righties who are currently wetting themselves over the pending 9/11 anniversary video featuring Osama Bin Laden who has apparently discovered the wonders of Just For Men hair coloring. I also hear he’s learned what a loofah was and that exfoliate

  Well the newest tape from Bin Laden is out and boy is it chalked full of all sorts of goodies that are sure to have the righties crying “See! I told you the Defeatocrats were in league with Al-Qaeda!” That’s because in addition to scolding Americans for failing to hold their leaders to account and in fact re-electing Bush to

  Tags: Terrorism, Republican Pundits Gone Wild

  As predictable as the sun rising in the East, the righties have sought to draw a comparison with Osama Bin Laden’s latest attempt to get in on the YouTube craze and the opinions of those on the left. Fox News’ Sean Hannity got the meme ball rolling this go around, repeatedly saying that Bin Laden seems to have the far left talking

  made in the ad itself. Republicans who attended today’s event also directed some ire at MoveOn, though it might not have been a good idea in retrospect. Some suggested that MoveOn should have waited until after the General gave his testimony before issuing their claims. And while they may have been a bit harsh in their criticism, some

  The faux brouhaha over the MoveOn.org “Gen. Betray Us” ad last week has moved beyond the point of absurdity and into farcical territory. At first, righties merely seemed to be unable to move on past the headline of the ad. But then it became a nefarious plot whereby the NY Times gave MoveOn a “liberal discount” which one

  Another lazy Sunday, so here are some quick blurbs of what’s Shootin’ Thru The ‘Tubes: Everyone was talking about the newest novel from the “Salvaging My Legacy” collection, this one from Alan Greenspan. The former Federal Reserve Chairman had some tough words for the Bushies. In addition to deriding them for not

  The Week Everything Changed…or Not Last week, with its Petraeus parade and MoveOn ad apoplexy, was billed by the Beltway punditocracy as the week that was suppose to change everything. But if trends are any indication, P.T. Bush still has his work cut out for him convincing the American people that all those droppings left behind by his

  TGIF and it’s the “Fauxtage Edition” of Shootin’ Thru The ‘Tubes: The righties still can’t move on from MoveOn. In the clearest sign yet that the Congress has their priorities seriously screwed up, they overwhelming voted to condemn a newspaper ad that disparaged Gen. Petraeus. President Bush even got in on the
