At least, in a democracy, the will of the people must be followed. 62% of Americans now believe the Iraqi occupation was a mistake; in 1973, 60% of Americans said that the Vietnam war was a mistake. What's going to happen now? People are dying every day. Iraqis are suffereing a great loss, only to be repeated the next day. And the Democrats, swept into Congress pretty much on anti-Iraq occupation

I'm thankful for Ned Lamont. He had a message of change and decided to inject that into the 2006 mid-term elections when it wasn't popular to do so. He gave everyone hope that things can change for the better; that entrenched incumbents must face their record. Thank you Ned Lamont. You rock.I'm thankful that I'm able to bitch, moan, whine, and complain about the situation in this country. I'm a

To all my hardcore followers, I've been a little busy I'm afraid and this blog is a low on the totem pole when it comes to priority. In addition to these damn papers, I have been volunteering for the Lamont campaign on the weekends since I live so damn close. Enjoy these Ned Lamont campaign ads.So with that said, Happy Halloween and get out and vote! You know they're going to try and steal it but

I was almost elated when I read that the head of the British Armed Forces, General Sir Richard Dannatt, called for a withdrawal of troops from Iraq. It seems that the whole "Coalition of the Willing" is waking up to the grave mistakes that Bush Inc dragged them into. It's sad that Blair had to follow, really. Overall he seems decent but he has just been Bush's bitch all the way through and that

I am still struggling with coming to terms with this atrocious torture bill that passed both the House and the Senate last week. You would think an important bill such as this would not be ramrodded through the Congress but it was and passed, along with a few straggling fake Democrats. But, perhaps the Repukes are nervous because there's a chance that the Democrats will control the House and,

In case you haven't heard, Johnathan Tasini was beaten in the Democratic Primary by Hilliary Clinton on Tuesday. I know that was a while back but bear with me, I've been a little swamped lately. Unfortunately, in our great political system where only Democrats and Republicans can win, someone must also be rich enough to combat the filthy, corrupt corporate money machine that spews out money

Out of three possible bills, the Senate Judiciary Committee, headed by Republican Senator Arlen Specter, passed a bill that is fully supported by the White House and will be voted on sometime next week by the full Senate. This bill gives Bush Inc everything they want. It allows Bush Inc to continue to wiretap without warrants at the discretion of the Attorney General, now Alberto "Torture"

Mister Tony Blair, the lap dog of Bush Inc, is in quite a pickle. He dragged the people of Britain into the Iraq debacle and goes along with whatever Bush says. "Bush is Crap" sums it up pretty well. Many within Labour are upset and have been upset for quite some time. Labour only got another shot because it was promised that Blair would step down eventually. Well it seems that his time may be

A patriot is a person who loves his or her country. Who among you loves your country so much that you have come here today to raise your voice out of deep concern for our nation--and for our world?And who among you loves your country so much that you insist that our nation's leaders tell us the truth?A patriot does not tell people who are intensely concerned about their country to just sit down

The unconstitutional NSA "terra-ists surveillance program" ruling by Judge Anna Diggs Taylor has been a bit scarce in the M$M now. I've been reading the papers and watching the local / national M$M and have seen coverage on everything except this violation of the Constitution. This character John Mark Karr seems to have dominated the M$M; it's almost reminiscent of the Michael Jackson trial. The

I really feel bad for the Brits. Bush has used and manipulated them and Bushbot Blair Co just goes along with it. They followed Bush Inc into the Iraq "war" debacle and now has joined them with the Lebanon bombing. Oh gee, great ceasefire guys even if it's three weeks late and everything is bombed into oblivion. Thanks guys...good job. You could have pushed for one earlier but why do that? While

Connecticut has sent a strong and clear message to all the incumbents who undermine their constituents' views: represent your constituents or you shall face a primary. Connecticut voted to have Mr. Ned Lamont as their Democratic nominee in a vote of 51.78% to 48.22%. This was perceived as an almost impossible feat; surely an entrenched career politician couldn't be beaten by a "no-name". I've

The escalating situation in the Middle East seems to be getting worse with each passing day. Today 34 children were killed by an Israeli air raid on Qana, a Lebanese village suspected to be packed full of Hezbollah fighters. They were half correct though; the village was home to a rocket-launching site used by Hezbollah but it was in no way connected to a four-story building housing children and

If you are visiting my humble blog, then I'm sure you don't want to read about what I think about this or that concerning the situation in the Middle East (at least not just yet). This entry is a reminder that we all exist in this democracy and have no excuse to sit back and watch the "end times" (as the fundamentalists would have you believe).Six months ago, it looked like Senator Lieberman of

If you ask me whom I fear the most, Cuba won't be one of the nations that I will list. Yet, since Bush Inc has nothing better to do, America has to stick its smelly snout in Cuban affairs to plan for regime change when Castro dies. I think the motivation is to "support" and pro-America, pro-profit puppet in Cuba under the guise of "Freedom and Democracy". Now, for the record, the Castro regime

The recent report that the CIA closed the Bin Laden division just adds icing on the cake. It's amazing that we (meaning Bush Inc / US) cannot find this jackass with all of our sophisticated technology. This was the guy who took direct responsibility for the attacks on 9/11 (believe what you want) and is the head of an organization that is determined to kill Americans for their ideology. It seems

The MSM sucks ass period. Papers like the New Yorks Times have become an embarrassment because of the likes of Judith Miller and that gang. They did, however, publish the NSA wiretapping fake-"terra-ist" surveillance program even though they sat on it for a year at the request of the Bush White House thugs. But I'll take what I can squeeze out of the so-called "liberal" New York Times. You and I

With the election year in full swing now, the corrupt right-wing bastards are pulling straws so they can energize their base. Immigration was kind of luke warm and same-sex marriage was so-so. What's better than slamming down a bill that would require a troop withdrawal? Like the speeches in the House, the nasty right-wing sickos kept talking about "terra" and the "cut-and-run" strategy put forth

Well the anti-gay amendment did not fly over to well and the immigration issue turned out to be luke-warm. The next best thing is to prop up a fake troop withdrawal bill, debate it knowing it will fail, then portray Democrats, liberals, and progressives as "weak on 'terra'". If there is one thing I loathe of these filthy pigs it is this: using the blood of our brave as a political loaf of bread.

Al-Zarqawi may be long dead not but as far as the local MSM is concerned (local MSM sucks ass), this brings the end of the “War on Terra” in sight. Why the most sophisticated army in the word can’t capture these jackasses is beyond me, because now what’s going to happen is martyrdom. The followers of Al-Zarqawi are dedicated jihadists (hello to the NSA officials who scan blogs for certain key

There are many spineless, cowardly Democrats who constantly stand up with the Repukes instead of us, the people whom they represent. These sick bastards are part of the problem you see. They allowed A-LIE-Toe to get through with all his baggage and now the shift of the Supreme Court favors Bush Inc rather than the Constitution. Take, for example, this office raid of William Jefferson. You think

Condi Rice is the worst person out of Bush Inc in my opinion. They’re all bad though, which isn’t saying much, but every time they prop Rice up on a teevee screen, I shiver and close my eyes. Now all this hype over Iran is just that: hype. Iran is as much of a threat to the U.S. as Antarctica. Iran wouldn’t dare drop the A-Bomb on Israel let alone US bases in other countries. Anyone who believes

According to a few news articles I have stumbled upon, it looks like a few papers are “speculating” that Straw was forced out due to his outspokenness to military action against Iran. If true, it would bring our country’s filthy face to a new low. It also proves that Blair is a horrible example of a leader and is owned by Bush Inc.If you are a regular reader of this blog, you already know my

I remember the national British elections in May 2005 and the, at the time, explosive Downing Street Memo (DSM) that was leaked which only furthered my bitterness for Blair and the cabal. While I don’t want to see the United Kingdom handed over to the pro-war Torries, it would be nice to see Blair and Co disappear into the night, never to be heard from again. Almost a year later, his fellow

Romano Prodi appears to have won a very close election in Italy and inched closer to the position of Prime Minister when the high court sided with Prodi. This is another sad demonstration in a democracy and we see Bush’s buddy, Berlusconi, refuse to concede and drag the whole country though this embarrassing spectacle. Did Bush phone Prodi and congratulate him?Several world leaders, including
