I agree that they NYT should go down. For covering up impeachable offenses prior to the 2004 election. Would have made the administration change much more easy.

And if I say you are a terrorist, are you game to be tortured?

In spite of the misinterpretation of people outside the field, per the CIA, Plame was not only covert, but had placed herself in much more danger by being under a normal passport. Failure to recognize that Ms. Plame is covert potentially puts every other CIA operative in danger from their own...

About time. I love that Patrick Fitzgerald... but he's sure frustrating to wait for. And now he's making us wait more for the rest! :wave: Mr. Vice President!

The "what if" philosophy of protection against terrorism is simplistic, and works only for simple minds. If there is a threat to the stadium, you know what we do? We don't have a football game. Yippee thrill. To illegally search because "what if" is ludicrous. If people *want* to be...

My work has a very vague statement about not displaying anything that makes anyone uncomfortable... Of course, my mom taught me that has less to do with being "politically correct" and everything to do with being "polite." All depends on one's spin, I suppose. If you don't want to be...

I didn't think that; I knew that. Please let us know how it went.

Soupy, this was a great post. And this may sound very stupid from me, but it is sincere: Think about that "taking down the" elephant thing. I respect and admire real republicans - though we disagree on some important issues, the differences are debated with respect and openness, not with...

I'm off to my nephew's bday party, leaving from there to the airport, bound for the UK and Belgium (next week), then back to the UK. Have a great few weeks. Don't let the administration completely trash the place, please.

Let's vote it like the senate did. Vote first, then check and see who you voted with: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00229#position Vote Counts: YEAs 44 NAYs 54 Not Voting 2 Vote Summary By Senator Name...

Republican Talking Points. Say them often enough, and they might come true. The letter requesting the declaration has been linked here. Fortunately, one does not have to reach the ever-vacationing president in person in order to request a state of emergency. The request was made as stated...

As the article pointed out, FEMA was improved during the Clinton administration into a capable emergency response unit. That administration also began to reduce the size of the federal government. After 9/11, the current administration created a huge bureaucratic mess called the department...

You think it was ok that Brown and Chertoff didn't know that evacuees were being held (against their will) in the Convention Center? You weren't in there, apparently.

Very Interesting. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9287434/site/newsweek/ Someone believes a president should be responsible for his government's action or inaction.
