This summer, as one of my loyal readers, you may have noticed a considerable drop off in my posting volume. It may have to do with a busy summer of music, moving, working, and planning a huge fall project over on my other site. Or it may just have been because I’m lazy. But rest [...]
Really interesting article from the Washington Post today about Bush’s body language during an early morning interview on the Today Show. It is evident that the once fearless W. has become a man undone and his Presidency has been taken down due to his incompetence and lies. Read more about this article here The fidgeting [...]
Billmon has a great post that seeringly sums up the post-Katrina political environment. Just go read it for both a chuckle and a cynical dose of reality. For the true connoisseur of cynicism — and I’m talking about myself here — the past few days have been about as good as it gets: the political [...]

Says President Amy Gutmann: “We felt it important to [...]
If you’ve been watching any of the cable news channels in the past few days you’ve undoubtedly seen FEMA director Mike Brown being torn a new one by a variety of anchors. Just go anywhere on the web to see the many examples of his incompetence. Now via Talking Points Memo, comes news from the [...]
Ok, I thought my anger had temporarily run its course, but the sheer disregard that this president shows for the hundreds of thousands of people currently in harm’s way is truly disgusting. Check what the White House seems to find important today. The RNC, not to be upstaged in callousness by the White House, sent [...]
I don’t really know what to say about Hurricane Katrina and it’s devastating aftermath throughout the Gulf Region. It seems like every day things just get continuously worst. For an informational update I’ll point you towards a long post that Matt is continously updating. Meanwhile, if you haven’t already watched Bush’s “speech” from yesterday, head [...]
