Cheney: Executive, Legislator, Unaccountable Megalomaniac?

  • Posted by Nacho
  • June 28, 2007

This might be considered by many a political rant, but frankly, I think Americans need to pay mindful attention to this so that we can collectively work to transform it. The issue? The Vice President's delusional mind. No kidding. Republican or Democrat, is this what we should be getting from an ele ...>

  • May 23, 2007

Sorry folks, here's a bit of getting this out of my system. I lived long enough in Washington D.C., and before that paid plenty of attention (and studied) politics to know that hard compromises and unpalatable deals, you scratch my back I'll scratch yours, real-politik, whatever cute name you prefer ...>

Deputy Attorney General McNulty resigns and...Attorney General's Gonzales' uncertainty and ambiguity miraculously disappear about who knew, who had responsibility, and where the blame should fall.

Crooks and Liars has a short blurb on the first Republican debate of this season, and highlights all the reverence and genuflection to President Reagan.

Last Monday the U.S. decided to finally include the Wiccan pentacle as one of the accepted symbols for use in national cemeteries and headstones (government-issued) of fallen soldiers. You can see a list of all the emblems currently allowed on this Dept. of Veteran Affairs page. I'm glad Wiccans get ...>

After the exchange with Rev. Elnes from CrossWalk America (sponsored by Faith in Public Life), I've been thinking about theocratic argument in the U.S.. One of the arguments that rev. Elnes made in his posts was that the number of Christian progressives are increasing in this country. I've encount ...>
