Were you surprised by the revelation of Sen. Larry Craig’s arrest? Or perhaps his guilty plea to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge ((which appears to be bogus))? Turns out you weren’t alone! Conservatives across the country were shocked, shocked I say, at the news:
The reaction to the Larry Craig story provides one of the most [...]

I mentioned KFM yesterday, but I feel like copy and pasting this entire post:
That’s the problem, as always – the peasants are revolting. Now that blogs have given them a publishing voice, why the national discourse is destroyed. When Judith Miller corrupted the New York Times in order to print lies about WMD’s and lead [...]

Glen Greenwald:
It is only those who are losing a debate who have a desire to suppress it. And it is only those who are acting illegally who are desperate to avoid judicial scrutiny of their behavior. In 2002, attempts to equate scrutiny and criticism of the Bush movement with pro-Terrorism and anti-Americanism was a potent [...]

I think, by now, we’re all accustomed to seeing the Bush administration use the tragedy of 9/11 for political purposes. Now, we learn that ABC is pushing a new “docudrama” of the events leading up the 9/11, which serves as little more than a propaganda film for the GOP. The 6-hour, two-day miniseries plays host [...]

Everybody is talking about the Keith Olberman commentary on Donald Rumsfeld and the Bush Administration. I tried to get the video uploaded, but, bah, I’ll just include the link. Here’s a portion of a transcript:
“The man who sees absolutes, where all other men see nuances and shades of meaning, is either a prophet, or a [...]

I was tipped off to this while I was at District Court Monday morning, and a quick Google search turned up this post over at The American Street:
In 1919, the U.S. Bureau of Education commissioned a Spanish translation of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which the evil liberal assimilationists at the Library of Congress have the temerity [...]

Amanda, over at Pandagon:
The bill also puts a bunch of obstacles in between women and getting to actually see an ob-gyn at all. It’s also got language to make coverage of cervical cancer testing optional, probably in no small part because we all know that cervical cancer is one of those god-given punishments for being [...]

My boy David Neiwart is looking for scratch (fundraising) this week, and I thought I would point you in his direction. David is simply the best guy out there reporting on the hate, fearmongering, and trickery that is so prevalent in Wingnuttia. While the subject matter he blogs about is usually beyond the scope of [...]
