Bush: "Polls just go poof"

I think his handlers need to keep him away from recording devices.... What a national embarassment.

Stupid Letter of the Week

This letter from our world renowned Belleville News "Republican" is so stupid on so many levels, I do not even know where to begin.... I think he is comparing these wars to the one in Iraq. I guess the biggest difference is that the ones he is talking about were almost all shorter and were on AMERICAN SOIL!

Hussein's Prewar Ties To Al-Qaeda Discounted

From the Washington Post:

Captured Iraqi documents and intelligence interrogations of Saddam Hussein and two former aides "all confirmed" that Hussein's regime was not directly cooperating with al-Qaeda before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, according to a declassified Defense Department report released yesterday.

The interesting part is this:

The report's release came on the same day that Vice President Cheney, appearing on Rush Limbaugh's radio program, repeated his allegation that al-Qaeda was operating inside Iraq "before we ever launched" the war

Bush won't throw out first pitch

How about this - apparently Bush decided not to throw out the first pitch on opening day this year:

Bush won't throw out first pitch

Apparently, it was because he did not want to get "boo'ed":

"The White House announced President Bush will not throw out the first pitch on Opening Day due to fears of booing. He's not the first president to worry about being hit by flying vegetables. The tomatoes used to throw themselves at Bill Clinton."

In other news - Alberto Gonzales was at Yankee stadium today - to throw out the first amendment (ha ha).

Dailey Show on Iran Hostages

I saw this over on Crooks and Liars - too funny:


Daily Show: Iranian Hostage Crisis

Stupid Sound Off for the Week

After I read this, I was not sure what to think.... These right wing nut jobs have gone off the deep end when they start blaming kids for being a victim.... This is just awful...

Yet Another Stupid Letter

Just when you think you have seen it all, Tom McBroom surprises us all with a new low in stupid letters. he even managed to call some Repubilican congressmen "pantywaists" for not being more pro-war.

McCoy on Global Warming

I wonder what it will take to for right wing nut jobs like Glen McCoy to wake up and smell the coffee about global warming. What is worse is that he gets a forum to share his drivel with thousands of knuckle dragging morons that are perfectly happy to believe his mindless cartoons and completely ignore the obvious.

Madigan: Ameren scheme produced unfair rates for customers

From today's Belleville News "Republican":


"Ameren Illinois customers are paying "grossly unfair" prices for electricity because of collusion and bid-rigging among participants in a power auction that included Ameren's power marketing arm, according to a complaint Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed with federal regulators Thursday."

Every time I hear some right wing nut job talk about how the government needs to just let the free market take care of policing itself, I just want to scream. And they have the nerve to complain about their power bill....

Stupid Letter of the Week

This week winner (or loser - depending on you perspective) - some nutjob from Fairview.... Apparently, we Democrats "have a lot in common with the radical Islamic fanatics". Oh - for crying out loud, just shut up.....

BND Wants Sunshine??

Well, it looks like our own Belleville News "Republican" is calling for transparency in government - by hyping "Sunshine Week". The are encouraging us to really take a look at what our government is doing. They are doing this after years and years of acting as a cheerleader and apoligist for the most secretive republican administration in our nations history. Now, it is all very patriotic to badger local government - so long as they are democrats, I presume.

Priests to purify site after Bush visit

I saw this over on Yahoo news and about spit up my coffee......

Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after President Bush visits next week, an official with close ties to the group said Thursday.

Things in Iraq are Looking Up!

I saw this over on Crooks and Liars. I think our President needs help...
