George W. Bush entered office 8 years ago vowing to restore honor and dignity to the White House. Today, 8 years later, he is finally is.
standardRSS Roundup 5-15-08
I apologize that this is going to be really short but I am still feeling a bit under the weather. I promise that as soon as I get over whatever this bug is I will be right back to posting several good articles a day. Well, good or not I’ll post several articles a day. [...]
standardEndless War on the Installment Plan
Moveon.org has composed an excellent video highlighting the moving goal posts in the Iraq war. No matter what happens we hear that the surge is working and that they only need 6 more months from the Bush/McCain crew. Very nicely done but I would have liked to see them pay attention to all the times [...]
standardRSS Review for March 2008
Every month more news and good stories pass through our RSS Readers than we can possibly write about. Instead of letting these stories get forgotten I have decided to resurrect the RSS Review feature as a monthly recurring event. On the first day of each month I will summarize the top stories that we missed [...]
standardDemocracy Every 4 Years
The other day Vice President Dick Cheney, the 4th branch of the government, responded to the statement from Martha Radatz that “two-thirds of Americans say” the Iraq war “is not worth fighting.” With a blunt “So?”.

standardRedefining Iraq Part 2
Yesterday we explored the ever changing justifications for the war in Iraq. We learned that every single reason given by Bush and this administration was exaggerated or just flat out lies. Just in case you are not angry enough over this let’s now look at what “success” in Iraq is according to the White House. [...]

standardUpdate On Water Bill
The other day I wrote about Bush vetoing a highly popular water project bill. At the time I wrote that the bill would be overridden due to its extremely high support in both parties. Well, that veto override became official yesterday as the Senate voted 79 to 14. This follows a vote on Tuesday by [...]
standardSpend and Spend Republicans
The other day I wrote about the President’s veto of a highly popular water projects bill. In that piece I attacked Bush for making a partisan political ploy out of the serious issue of fiscal responsibility. After never vetoing a single spending bill while his Republican cronies were in power, Bush has now vetoed several [...]
standardBush Vetoes Highly Popular Water Bill
Bush has vetoed a bill authorizing hundreds of important water related projects. This bill, like the SCHIP expansion, enjoyed strong bipartisan support and is highly popular. Unlike the last veto this bill looks to have the votes needed to hand Bush his first veto override. This bill passed the house and senate easily gathering 381-40 [...]
