Head over to Huffington Post, because Bob Geiger has a post up about yesterday’s Senate Foreign Relations committe hearing when John Kerry finally got to go head to head, toe to toe, with one of the major supporters of the Swift Boat Veterans for Lies. “The Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing on Tuesday to consider the nomination of Sam Fox, a wealthy St. Louis businessman, to be the new U.S. Ambassador to Belgium…Fox gave a whopping $50,000...

Déjà vu: Thieves break into N.H. Dem headquarters
Talk about Déjà vu! Burglars broke into the N.H. Democratic Headquarters. Many times, the like minded antics of the Bush administration has been compared to that of the uber-secret one of Nixon. The comparison of the war in Vietnam and the one in Iraq has been made many times. I wonder what would Nixon think about this if he were around today. A President that actually makes Tricky Dick look like a boy scout. With all the likeness that...
Iran/Contra Redux
Please tell me Seymour Hersh isn’t right. Please tell me our government isn’t really funding elements of al-Qaeda in order to take on Iran…again. “To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has cooperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has...
2007 AIDS Walk, New York
NOLA blogger, Dangerblond, has a son that will be “helping to raise money for AIDS research by participating in AIDSWalk New York on May 20.” So help spread the word. Help by donating, or if you don’t have the means, please help spread the word. Lets show the compassion that some others claim to have. My generous and wonderful son, Leicester, about whom I can’t say enough, is helping to raise money for AIDS research by participating in AIDSWalk...
Veritably Bare: Unacceptable
For those that know me, you know how much I get angered with the way our military and veterans get treated sometimes. I now point you to a post from a military wife that brings it on home. The post is kind of long and has quite a few links. So if you have to go back and read a little at a time, then do it. Just make sure to read all the info. I don’t really ask...
Achievement in Silliness
Cross posted from AoF This weekend’s first Oscar goes to this right-wing screed in today’s AJC, written by someone named Jan McClure, who is described as “president of the McClure Media Group, a corporate communications and public relations firm. ” For some reason, the AJC feels that a public relations flack is qualified to discuss political issues with some degree of authority on its op-ed pages, but that’s nothing new for the AJC. Ms. McClure bemoans Hollywood and how...
Rove v. Murtha
As John Murtha tries to set limits in Iraq, Karl Rove will be unleashing his rabid attack dogs to swift-boat the former Marine. Rove’s method is political assassination: Don’t debate issues, destroy opponents. Murtha is only the latest on his hit list. In 2004, John McCain, John Kerry and triple amputee Senator Max Cleland were attacked with distortions and lies by an Administration of draft evaders turning men who suffered for their country into objects of suspicion and scorn....
