I Hate To Say This, But… George W. Bush is a mindless, heartless, gutless, mental case. I realize this is a terrible thing for any citizen of the United States to say about their President. Of course, if Bush weren’t the president what anybody says about him wouldn’t be worth much. But Bush IS the president and that makes any statement concerning him, noteworthy. Including mine.
If this were only Jim Moore’s opinion it wouldn’t amount to a bucket of spit. I know that. But when polls show (…)

Bush’s Lynch Mob "Milestone" & the Stooges of Convenience: America Now One Long BAD Movie! What depths of humanity will the American spectacle reach for in the coming year? Lynch mobs for "peace"? Merry hangings & a happy executions for all? Good Lord, ladies & germs, this Bush "nuke-yooler" reality is surely melting down before our eyes, like the polar ice-caps!
In the oily recesses of the Bush brain trust, this end-of-the-year "execution" (a grand Bush Texas tradition) (…)

Saddam Faced Death with Dignity
By Peter Fredson
December 30, 2006
One of the changing pretexts for invading Iraq is over. Saddam Hussein was hanged today. The show trial, arranged and orchestrated by the Bush people, carefully manipulated, carefully coached, is now history. Saddam was dignified to the end. We wonder if Bush and Cheney will face the gallows with equal equanimity, or if they will squeal like pigs when their end comes.
The pretext that Saddam was evil and therefore had (…)

Is Capital Punishment a Solution?
"Capital punishment, the death sentence, is a frequent topic of discussion. Judges, psychiatrists and sociologists give us the statistics and talk about their observations and conclusions on radio and television programmes, and public opinion remains divided. Some think that the worst criminals should be executed so as to deter those who are tempted to imitate them; others retort that the fear of death has never deterred a criminal and, above all, that no (…)

Crimes against Iraqi people must not go unpunished
BAGHDAD, IRAQ — (OfficialWire) — 12/30/06 — The rightful President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, was put to death in the early hours on Saturday while lawyers for the ousted dictator tried in vain to use U.S. courts to prevent his transfer from American authority—to Iraqi control—thus hoping to prevent his murder.
Those efforts, while admirable, were doomed from the start. There is little justice left for Americans in the United States, much (…)

WILL STINKY CUT THE BIG ONE? Frat Times at the White House By Sheila Samples
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. McBeth, Act V, Scene V
It’s almost painful to watch the disintegration of George W. Bush and what’s left of his murderous administration. Those who haven’t fled are racing blindly through the halls of power, lurching into (…)

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich said he became good friends with Senator John Kerry when both ran for president two years ago, but he says that if Kerry would have listened to his ideas about Iraq he could be president today.
“I made it clear how I thought Democrats could win,” Kucinich said in an interview with the Globe. “Senator Kerry had another way of looking at it. I like John Kerry, and he would have been a far better president than George Bush will ever be. But I do wish he (…)

One of the most common themes we are now asked to accept, as part of the hagiography surrounding the death of Gerald Ford, is that Ford ended our "long national nightmare" by pardoning Richard Nixon over his crimes in "Watergate" and that such an act remains a positive part of his legacy. In the debate over whether the pardon should have been granted, the focus has typically been on the dynamic at the time and what would be gained by putting the disgraced president and the nation through a (…)
