Now I can just go back to hating the establishment. Or, maybe I won't even have to bother.

By Lew Rockwell "What do regular Americans care whether we were lied into war or that Iraq suffers under military occupation that is driving the country into the hands of fanatical Islamic theocrats? Well, apparently many voters do care, even those who don't have family members fighting and dying. Many people voted based on what might otherwise seem to be an abstraction. Bush undertook this war with arrogance and claims of god-like power. The result has been catastrophic. And apparently this...

James Bovard's notes on today's post-election massacre Presidential press conference: "None of the White House correspondents asked Bush directly about his false claims regarding the Dems and wiretapping - Bush claimed they were opposed to listening in to terrorists conversations.None of the questions were about Bush

Okay, Rumsfeld is out, Cheney is in his cave, here's what you do: Put the worst secretary of State since Colin Powell on a plane to Tehran. Have her tell them that we will leave Iraq and shut up about their enrichment of uranium to 3.6% for their electricity program as long as they remain subject to the NPT and IAEA safeguards, and promise not to obliterate the minority Sunni Arabs of Iraq when we leave. Since the Ayatollah Khamenei offered everything for nothing in 2003, I think it's a pretty...

Rumsfeld resigns. To be replaced by former DCI Robert Gates. So does that mean Cheney's out too?

On October 10th, Camp Falcon, a US Army base outside of Baghdad, was attacked by Iraqis. A major fire broke out and munitions started going off - including a few fairly spectacular explosions. Video of the event was shown on CNN and has circulated around the internet. Here is one of the better ones. Since then, we have been getting more and more letters at Antiwar.com, asking about widespread rumors that the explosions seen in the video were American nuclear munitions detonating due to the...

Matt Barganier quotes him quoting the American Conservative about the disaster in Iraq... "Faced on Sept. 11, 2001 with a great challenge, President Bush made little effort to understand who had attacked us and why

Idiotic, sniveling, State-loving little bitches. Pathetic. Jonathan Schwarz has their number. How embarrassing this must be for Jim Geraghty's father. Via Matt who says, "perhaps Schwarz should have waited for the follow-up, in which Jim Geraghty denies being an

MSNBC tells the tale. Good thing for Bush, they fired the last judge for being sure to let him off. Saddam Hussein makes a deal for more chemical weapons with special envoy Donald Rumsfeld in 1983 - a year after the massacre he was just convicted and sentenced to death for. Where did Iraq get its weapons of mass destruction anyway? (You know, back before 1991, when he they still had some.)

They are pathetic cowards. Quoth Tom Knapp: "Every time I turn around, someone's opining that John Kerry "owes everyone who's ever served in the military an apology." I don't presume to speak for "everyone who's ever served in the military," but I can speak for myself, so I will. As a veteran of the 1991 war (Marine Corps -- infantry), I don't desire an apology from Senator Kerry. I didn't find what he said offensive. The line as it was allegedly intended to be delivered would have been...

From the Bovard blog: Kimberly Atkins, a reporter for the Boston Herald, called me yesterday regarding Deval Patrick, the Democratic candidate for governor in Massachusetts. Patrick played a notorious role in the Ruby Ridge scandal, overruling a Justice Department panel regarding FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi. Horiuchi was the guy who gunned down Vicki Weaver as she held her baby in the cabin door on an Idaho mountaintop in 1992. Patrick decreed that applying the death sentence was not
