Yay. Since 2003, I have done more than 700 interviews in the interest of opposing the state and its wars. 705 to be exact, though two have been lost to computer glitches: an interview of Ivan Eland back in 2003 and one of Glenn Greenwald earlier this year. Thanks to Shauna, Chad, Eric and Justin, Dan, John, Brendan, Brandon, Angela, August, Chris, Mark, Adam, Brent, everyone at KAOS Radio, Antiwar.com, my incredible guests and listeners for everything. All interviews are available for free...

Giraldi: "Much has been made of the pressure AIPAC successfully exerted to drop a clause in the recent defense appropriation bill for Iraq and Afghanistan prohibiting an attack on Iran without congressional approval. One Democratic congressman, Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, even promised prior to any debate on the matter that the offensive language would be removed." Raimondo: "[E]xamine the CNN photo of Nancy's coronation and notice its composition: Rahm Emanuel to the left of her, Hoyer to her...

This Just In
McCain Loses!
Ha ha, Republicans
I'm already dreading Democratic monopoly government. And yet, I have to laugh at the Republicans right now. After 40 years, you finally captured Congress in '94. You worked with Clinton to expand the government. You covered up his crimes. Six years later, you got the presidency. For eight years now, you've had it all. You've doubled the national debt in less than a decade. You've slaughtered a million people. You've torn the soul out of the Bill of Rights. Today, Americans said no to your...

Fuck Hope.
"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy. ’¦ "Either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it...
