Why would anyone support the American president at this point? The answer is simple: Cowardice. Republicans are sissies. They talk tough and drive trucks, but in truth are very afraid that a scary Arabic Islamo-Fascist

[F]or all intents and purposes, Cheney is chief, and Bush is more in the ceremonial role of the queen of England.

Will the LP be the Texans or the Mexicans in this year's electoral Alamo? by Brian Doherty Reason Tom DeLay's political career really is over. The Texas courts won't let the Republican party simply replace DeLay on the ballot, even after the former majority leader went to the trouble of hammering several pipsqueak primary opponents for the right to cut and run. DeLay's crisis has robbed the GOP of a candidate in Texas's 22nd congressional district and presented an unusual opportunity to the...

And is that a strange question to be found in the pages of Foreign Affairs? Is There Still a Terrorist Threat? By John Mueller From Foreign Affairs, September/October 2006 Summary: Despite all the ominous warnings of wily terrorists and imminent attacks, there has been neither a successful strike nor a close call in the United States since 9/11. The reasonable -- but rarely heard -- explanation is that there are no terrorists within the United States, and few have the means or the inclination...

The general dishonesty of Bush's ridiculous press conference Monday has already been covered, but he did say two things that weren't outright lies. That U.S forces will never leave Iraq if he can help it is a given, but I want to point out the one other thing Bush said that was true

Aim High! Step right up! Bring your daughter on down! Sign her up for the Service. It's a great way for her to be able to afford to go to college and be a professional when she grows up! (If you don't mind her being raped, that is.) The Washington Times: "More than 100 young women who expressed interest in joining the military in the past year were preyed upon sexually by their recruiters. Women were raped on recruiting office couches, assaulted in government cars and groped en route to...

What do a bunch of interesting writers have to say about it? The American Conservative magazine for August 28th is devoted to this question (including Rockwell's article that I blogged last week). I've always thought, since about 11th grade, that libertarianism was the exact opposite of both left and right rather than any derivitive of or synthesis between the two. Left and Right are but two collectivist/socialist ideologies that put the 'greater good' (as determined by individuals, of course)...

We have got to make our government stop this madness. From the Washington Times: Children who have never been charged with a crime are being held in juvenile prisons in Iraq, a State Department official stated in a report he posted on the Internet this week. Some of the children are in the detention centers simply because there is no one to pick them up and take them home, said Marshall Adame, an official with the National Coordination Team based out of Camp Victory in Iraq. "These are not...

Bwahahahaha! First, you've got to get adequately concentrated hydrogen peroxide. This is hard to come by, so a large quantity of the three per cent solution sold in pharmacies might have to be concentrated by boiling off the water. Only this is risky, and can lead to mission failure by means of burning down your makeshift lab before a single infidel has been harmed. But let's assume that you can obtain it in the required concentration, or cook it from a dilute solution without ruining your...

Intelligence officials doubt Iran uranium claims, say Cheney receiving suspect briefings Larisa Alexandrovna The Bush administration continues to bypass standard intelligence channels and use what some believe to be propaganda tactics to create a compelling case for war with Iran, US foreign policy experts and former US intelligence officials tell RAW STORY. One former senior intelligence official is particularly concerned by private briefings that Vice President Dick Cheney is getting from...
