With the Bush administration, everything is a racket, as they labor to bring in Republican firms to privatize government agencies and programs. Think FEMA. Think Halliburton.

The discussion on blogrolling and building a better B-List of blogs has surfaced again. I stayed out out the earlier round, where Atrios and other A-List blogs purged there blogrolls, but I do think the discussion is worthy of note. As a blogger and an internet based small business owner, I fully understand the value [...]

I recently finished a book called God Lives in St. Petersburg by Tom Bissell. For someone of my age (early fifties) it can be a little annoying to encounter members of the younger generation (thirty-something generation X, Y or whatever) with superior insight.

Priceless humor on a fitting end to a Bush crony nomination… When the Bush administration pulled Sam Fox’s nomination two days ago, Fox got what he deserved!

Are the justice firings tied to the ’08 vote? It’s certainly looking that way. Yesterday Ginny posted here about the OP/ED by “Joseph D. Rich, chief of the voting section in the Justice Department’s civil rights division from 1999 to 2005,” in which Rich says, “As the 2008 elections approach, it is critical to have [...]

This morning evokes thoughts of our 34th President, Dwight David Eisenhower. He died on this day, March 28, 1969, thirty-eight years ago. Not much of an anniversary, but in this time of Bush, Cheney, Rove and Gonzales, the man everybody called Ike is more and more a reminder of a lost American decency. I met [...]
