Make no mistake that the economy has a long way to go before a true recovery can be claimed. And before that time we will no doubt see many painful downswings. But to state that we're on the brink of "the collapse of civilization" is just foolish hyperbole. The world (and the US) has suffered...

The Right's crocodile tears won't wash the blood from their or Bush's hands.

It's a persecution thing. The Right is never truly happy unless they're the victim of an enemy. For them, this gives their views merrit. In their convoluted logic, the more they're "oppressed" the more they must be on to something. Also they like their news to be fed to them in the most...

I know the Right will take it as spin, but it was a foregone conclusion that Chicago wouldn't get the Olympics. It was widely reported several weeks ago that the IOC was extremely unhappy with the conditions surrounding Chicago's offer. And there were grumblings about it long before the IOC...

Odd you should ask this question. I've recently been looking at a variety of Canadian media (no, really) and I'm stunned by how many US pop-culture references I've seen / heard. Yet so few things that only Canadians would understand.

The Right's plan for all "regulation": "We're going to put this HUGE pile of money right here. And then we're going to walk around the corner. Promise you won't touch it, OK? But if you do touch it, swear that you won't donante some of it into our campaign coffers. Deal?"

I'm fine with violence and sex on TV and in movies, etc. I find it disturbing what it says about us as a culture, but I wouldn't restrict the access of it in any way by adults. However I'm a bit irritated that Americans seem not to police what their own children view. I know parents with...

Aaannd again for comparison let's just mention that during a time when our troops were fighting and dying in two wars that he personally started, George W. Bush spent over 400 days on vacation, away from Washington. More so in fact than any other President in history. So...there's the...

Aaaannnd who did Rumsfeld report directly to? Ah yes...it was Bush wasn't it? So the question becomes did Bush order it? If not, did he at least know that Rumsfeld was out there acting like a loose cannon? If not...why not? Did he have no idea what people in his administration were doing?

Many employers who provide health care are already doing exactly that. Punishing employees who insist on indulging in behavior they deem undesirable. Of course they present it such that they're doing the opposite - rewarding good little "healthy" employees. But the effect is the same...

Unfortunately I suspect that the police will in fact physically check to make sure that the offender is living where he says he is. If they happen to catch him in the apartment, all will be well and good. But if he's out when they come knocking they'll almost certainly try asking neighbors -...

A) The "liberal media" didn't hack Palin's e-mail. B) What character? She's a quitter.

When Madonna finally succumbs to one of the many virulent diseases she harbors.

Gotta love how whenever a judicial decision doesn't go the way Republicans want, suddenly it magically transforms into a case of "legislating from the bench" or "liberal activist judges". It's the verbal equivalent of stamping their little feet.

As time goes on the details will tend to fade and, yes, history will be a little kinder to Bush than one might think. But even so, I have no doubt that he'll be remembered as a President who in some way squandered every opportunity he was handed.

In the Beginning there was the Reagan. And He looked out upon the poor and He spoketh at length about The Trickling Down. But the poor looketh up and saw nothing. And then the Reagan spoke to a great king called Saddam. And He blessed Saddam with many weapons that caused burning and illness...
