  • Pres Bush making money after leaving office.

    I am sure he could peddle his ''weapons of mass destruction'' and tell stories of the other faux pas he fed the American people. I would love to hear his best one, of how everyone is America has gone from being prosperous to penniless and jobs leaving day by day, while we still give it away in foreign aid. Who was it that said, ''let them eat ...

  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Bush Redeems Himself - from Katrina, to Gustav

    The main benefit of this new hurricane in the New Orleans, Louisiana area, if you can in any way couch this natural disaster redux in such terms, is that President Bush and the current Republican White House and Administration get to improve their performance. Already, Bush is on the ground and in charge. Our President has appeared on my ...

  • Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion

    Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

  • Crimes and Misdemeanors

    Thanks, gang, for the shine but shouldn't that be HIGH crimes and misdemeanors? We wouldn't want the public to think the Bush Gang's boo boos were equivalent to Parking Tickets. I tried a search for Vincent Bugliosi's new book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder and came up with zip. You know it's number nine on NYT Best Seller List? ...

  • What Is He Doing?

    I am so upset with not only Barak Obama but all the Democrats. First let me say, I am a Democrat. Not because I believe in socialism but because I hate the politics of oil, corporate welfare, and, let's face it, the Republicans have not shown themselves to be the fiscally conservative party most argue them to be. Additionally, I hate the war, ...

  • Not an utterly pointless fight

    Webb's shouldn't have been concerned about hurting Jr's feelings. His concern was for his child and his disdain for an idiot war (chief) is valid and founded. Obama and the Demos need a few more with a Webb-like background in order to add some gravitas to a light party. We could stand to learn a few leasons about not letting stupid people push ...

  • Hitch, The Brits Started This Mess, Along With Reagan

    Christopher Hitchens engages in breathtaking and broad stroke, decades long perspective in cataloguing the burning of world war through the 20th Century, from the beginnings of World War One through World War Two through to the conclusion of the Cold War, to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Yet he dates this Iraqi Twin War Conflict only to 2003? ...

  • Clinton wins Ohio

    As an independent voter I have been on the fence with both of the Democratic candidates. After 8 years of feeling the effects of the Republican's ''Compassionate Conservatism'' I can no longer consider one to be a viable leader - and I was impressed with what Pres. Bill Clinton did for the middle class of our country. Hillary let me down when ...

  • Presidential Dynasties

    As Daniel Politi points out, Kristof's op-ed for the Times isn't exactly the first time we've herad the issue of a potential Bush-Clinton Presidential monopoly of 24-28 years discussed, though Kristof's clearly pleased to be bringing it to we, the dear readers', attentions. The link to Hendrik Hertzberg's New Yorker ''Comment'' from October ...
