June 30, 2007:
Pelosi whines, "I'm not happy with Congress, either"
 
Comment: Instead of promising many accomplishments and a big change in direction for Congress, Pelosi should have focused on accomplishing one thing: Ending the Iraq War.

Instead, she and her buddies have infuriated people by making meager efforts to pass numerous bills, as if, for example, the entire country is waiting breathlessly for the Feds to spend more money on stem cell research...   Mr. Chuckles     PERMANENT LINK

Nuremberg prosecutor says he's aghast at Guantanamo
 
Excerpt: "I think Robert Jackson, who's the architect of Nuremberg, would turn over in his grave if he knew what was going on at Guantanamo," Nuremberg prosecutor Henry King Jr. told Reuters in a telephone interview.

"It violates the Nuremberg principles, what they're doing, as well as the spirit of the Geneva Conventions of 1949."

White House demands secrecy for log of Cheney visits
 
Comment: Virtually everything done by anyone in any high-ranking position in this administration is either a well-choreographed photo op, a thoroughly staged and scripted artificial event, or a secret they're willing to take to court to keep classified under cloak of alleged "national security" or "Presidential privilege." By design and by habit, the Bush-Cheney administration doesn't want you to know anything but the lies they've told you.

June 30, 2007:
As "W" remains blissfully unaware ...
by Mr. Chuckles, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: Voters believed they were sending Democrats to power in 2006 to end the Iraq War, but the message the Dems received was Vindication of their political posturing. Barack Obama even stated yesterday that impeachment must be reserved for grave offenses, so therefore he would not support impeachment of Bush-Cheney. What, one wonders, would qualify as "grave"? And if not now, when?

The facts add up to World War III
by The Canadian, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: When the Roman Empire was collapsing, the Emperor decided to avert the Mobs' attention by holding a year's worth of fantastic games and slaughters in the Coliseum. Meanwhile the Barbarians were on the border.

Congress will pass this bogus immigration bill
by Leon Fisher, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: The Bush regime is dedicated to the dismantling of America as a sovereign, independent nation. They are actively undermining the will of the people, the threat of which is now becoming obvious to even some of the biggest Kool-Aid drinkers in the Republican Party.

Some answers, and some more questions
about Saudi chartered jet on 9/19/01

by Kevin Good, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: In the aftermath of 9/11/2001, there was one charter flight that got special clearance from the White House and the FBI to fly from Los Angeles CA to Orlando FL, on to Washington DC, then to Boston MA, and then leave the country. It was the plane that took members of Osama bin Laden's family out of America, back to their homes in Saudi Arabia.

Blue Iowa progressive turns Republican Red
by The Alchemist, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: I don't agree with every single thing Ron Paul stands for, but dammit, he STANDS for something, is against foreign military adventurism, corporate influence in government, phony wars, government intervention in our lives, and is for cutting our bloated military and returning America to a sound economic and diplomatic footing. Sounds pretty good to me.

Staying humble and counting my blessings
by Kathy Fisher, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: We got out of the over-crowded city alive! People who live near me don't know how good they have it. They have their days too, where they want to pack it all in and go live in Pennsylvania or upstate New York. Then they have a reality check, come back to earth, and realize they have to make the best with the forever changing, forever growing suburban neighborhood.

Bush rallies Republicans for delusional immigration reform bill
by Kevin Good, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: Pumped up by his victory tour in Albania and feeling the love of all those foreign folks, Bush travels to Congress to promote a new immigration law to replace the current immigration law he doesn't enforce.

June 15, 2007:
Palestine and the politics of wishful thinking
by E13, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: Israel is probably the most corrupt "democracy" in the Western world -- not only for what it does to the Palestinians, but for the greed, lawlessness and lack of accountability of politicians.

June 14, 2007:
A sin and a travesty
by Kathy Fisher, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: Worry, so full of worry that the tomorrow that comes will be far worse than it is now. No place to run from this hell that's going to come. Fearful, so afraid of the coming police state that will crush every last drop of freedom we ever had.

June 9, 2007:
Paris Hilton: Serious thoughts about the frivolous
by Mr. Chuckles, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: What I see happening today is the psychological deconstruction of an ego, a person's personality and mentality pushed past the breaking point. Whether young Paris will reconstruct herself successfully is an open question. Good hearted people will be wishing her a speedy and complete recovery.
