That’s my take on it anyway. So what I’m thinking is…if Hillary truly wants to win her party’s nomination and have any chance of winning the highest office of this great land of ours, there’s only one place I would recommend she visit: New York City’s very own Lucky Cheng’s.
She better get there soon, because […]
I wrote this in December of 2006 to amuse myself. I had posted it on Daily Kos, but I have decided to revive it for kicks. Recently Dick Cheney became Acting President for the second time while Bush was out cold having things removed from his colon, and I was reminded of this piece. Here […]

Glenn Greenwald takes the Dems to the woodshed and gives them a good solid beating, and damn it, they deserve it.
And now Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, with revealing symbolism, cancel their scheduled appearances this morning at Yearly Kos because George Bush ordered them to remain in Washington in order to re-write and expand FISA […]

Cortez was eligible for the death penalty, […]
If you need any further proof that the current Administration disrespects the citizens of the U.S., here is your proof. J. Scott Jennings will not even describe for Senator Patrick Leahy what he does for the money the taxpayers of the U.S. pay him (as of July ‘06, that annual income was $95,000).
