They are the ones who have the sway in Iraq, not us or the Iraqi government. How long will we allow conservative pigheadedness to dictate our foreign policy?

What Is The Fascination With The NCAA Tournament?
March 31st, 2008

Every March I wonder this. I am admittedly not a basketball fan, and if I do watch I watch a pro game over a college one. But every March the hype machine goes to 11, people fill out brackets (something I’ve never done) and a school or two makes it further than they should as [...]

According to the Right Honorable August J Pollak
There is not a single instance of political discourse in the history of this nation in which the participants did not want to simply kick their opponent in the balls.

Clearly the solution to this is another tax cut for Paris Hilton.
Driven by a painful mix of layoffs and rising food and fuel prices, the number of Americans receiving food stamps is projected to reach 28 million in the coming year, the highest level since the aid program began in the 1960s.
The number of recipients, [...]

A peek inside the mind of the diehard Clinton crowd: Obama should run as her vice president and the convention date should be moved because the annointed one is annoyed that people find her campaign now Quixotic at best.
By that token the NFL should just give me the Lombardi now because its clear that I [...]

Who Is Running Iraq?

It’s not us, and its not the elected Iraqi government. It is the people who control when the fighting stops and starts.
Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr offered Sunday to pull his fighters off the streets of Basra and other cities if the government halts raids against his followers and releases prisoners held without charge.
The offer was [...]
Dear James Carville: Save The Drama For Your Mama
March 29th, 2008

I see no need for catfighting of the sort embraced by James Carville to be published in the “A” section of one the country’s top 5 newspapers. We have a war on, a fiscal crisis, global hunger, disease and murder, and that merits James Carville writing what amounts to a personal phone call or an [...]

I watched the first three episodes of HBO’s excellent John Adams series today, and while looking forward to episode four tomorrow, I thought to myself about Senator Clinton’s anti-intellectual attack on Sen. Obama’s oratory as “just words”.
Much of the first and second Continental Congress and its work product – the Declaration of Independence – was [...]

Wow.
Time Warner is no longer the sole proprietor of Superman.

Cherry Pickin’! With The Clintons

Back in the dark ages we now refer to as the early 1990s, I was in high school. On Fridays my friends and I had a standing appointment to play basketball. It was nothing formal and certainly not at a high level of skill – my main contribution was being the big guy who stood [...]

Insane.
Big Wall Street investment companies are taking advantage of the Federal Reserve’s unprecedented offer to secure emergency loans, the central bank reported Thursday.
The lending is part of a major effort by the Fed to help a financial system in danger of freezing.

Good news.
A federal appellate court today ordered former Gov. Don Siegelman released from prison while he appeals his 2006 conviction, saying there are “substantial questions” about his case.
A federal jury in 2006 convicted Siegelman and HealthSouth founder Richard Scrushy of federal funds bribery. Prosecutors alleged Scrushy bought a seat on a state board with a [...]

Original thought dies another day.
Update: Looks like Johnny Mac is the victim of the plagiarism here. To recap: he’s a warmonger, but one with original warmonger thoughts of his own.
