Random, occasionally rambling thoughts with links to interesting, scandalous, or partisan news of the day. Fair and Balanced 
We owe the liberty and freedom we take for granted to the enlisted men and women in the armed forces. They sacrifice family, ease, and even life laboring in service to all of us. The least we can do for them is honor their devotion with dignified pay scales, decent education for themselves and their children, and reasonable compensation for service away from their families and death on the battlefield. Flag waving politicians who praise the troops on one hand and cut their pay and benefits with the other should be deeply ashamed of themselves.

Bush just can't stop lying. In the debates he was asked point blank if he believes Saddam was connected with 9/11 and he told the truth.

Bush voters still reality challenged PIPA's latest study confirms that large majorities of Bush voters are wrong about things that are objectively true. It's as if the Duelfer report, the 9/11 Commission, and Bush's own recent admissions just haven't mattered. You have to read it to understand the depth of cognitive dissonance Bush voters must carry in their heads. Where's Charles Krauthammer when you really need him to diagnose a psychiatric problem. posted by Dave on 1:03 PM | 0 comments link
Bush let's the bad guys get away Avoiding attacking suspected terrorist mastermind Just a reminder from before the Iraq war that Zarqawi, the guy behind a lot of the car bombings in Iraq today, was a sitting duck for us three times. We didn't go after him so Bush would have a pretext for war. Lame, lame, lame. It fits in with the Washington Post article today about Bush's hand maintained checklist of bad guys. Actually, the whole article is filled with depressingly familiar reminders of how Bush took his eye off the Al-Qaeda ball. posted by Dave on 1:00 PM | 0 comments link -------------------- Tuesday, October 05, 2004
