With all the scare tactics used, it’s truly a testament to the majority of American people who didn’t buy it in the last election. The War On Terror has been justification to do some terrible things, like invading and staying in Iraq. When we were in Vietnam, the scare tactic was the domino effect of communism. It was part of The Cold War. Amazing how history repeats itself.

Where were the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? This clip shows George Bush joking about where the weapons were. Ted Koppel had an interesting comment on chemical weapons in Iraq. He said we knew they were they because we had the receipts to prove it. In the 1980’s, we sold Iraq and Saddam Hussein chemical weapons to fight Iran. Saddam subsequently used them against an insurgency and has been sentenced to death by an Iraqi/US court.
So like Bush, let’s contemplate where the weapons might have been…

Here we see OJ Simpson contemplating if he did it, when he did it. Thankfully, Rupert Murdoch and Fox have done the smart thing and pulled this fiasco. What was everyone thinking here? How did Fox think this was a good idea in the first place?
Even OJ’s lawyer Yale Galanter said “Nobody’s happier than me that it’s been canceled. It should never have been a project to begin with.” He also said “Who would really get up and say, ‘This is really a great project?” Obviously, Fox and OJ thought that 10 years was enough time for people to get over …read more

The Republican controlled 109th Congress was one marred with corruption. Many argue that the Democrats sweep of the House and Senate was a mandate on Iraq. Iraq was perhaps the biggest issue, but corruption and other factors played large roles as well.
One of the Democrats promises has been to clean up Washington. New House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has promised “the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.”
Democrats want to limit the power that lobbyists have over Washington. Thing is, they are in a sticky situation because they owe the voters honesty while also owing lobbyists favors for …read more

President Bush finally had a chance to visit the country who’s war has been compared to the one he started in Iraq. Over the weekend, Bush met with Asian leaders in Vietnam’s capitol Hanoi. He also spent a day in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) which was renamed for the nationalist hero that helped defeat the US during the Vietnam War.
Did Bush learn any lessons from his weekend in Vietnam? Let’s go through a few statements he made during his visit.
“For decades you had been torn apart by war, Today the Vietnamese people are at peace and seeing the benefits of reform.”
Vietnam was …read more
Wow, that is one sexy game system with sexy graphics! It’s so hot that people have been willing to risk injury and death to be some of the first to own one.

Who is this Boehner you ask? Well, it’s none other than John Boehner, Republican House Representative from Ohio’s 8th district. Mr. Boehner was just elected House minority leader by the Republicans. He will guide them through the sure to be fun and possibly eventful 110th Congress.
Boehner replaces Dennis Hastert, who was the Republican majority leader under the old, underworked Congress. Hastert, wanting nothing short of supreme House leader, did not seek the minority leadership.
Boehner did not face any stiff competition in his bid, winning by a sizable margin of 168-27 over Mike Spence of Indiana. Thus, no recounts or measuring sticks were required here.

George Bush is doing what most President’s do when things aren’t going well. He’s gotten the hell out of the country!
Bush’s first stop was yesterday in Russia. Today, Bush met with the Prime Minister of Singapore to discuss terrorism and the economy. Bush will also visit Vietnam and Indonesia during his current Asian trip.
This trip allows Bush to get the hell away from the crushing defeat the Republican’s suffered in last week’s elections. Why stick around and sort out the lame duck Congress? Does he really want to see Rick Santorum and George Allen begin to clean out their Senate offices?
Besides, traveling …read more

Here we see Russian President Vladimir Putin greeting George Bush yesterday in Moscow. While the photo looks really gay, the flowers are actually for first Lady Laura Bush.
Bush wanted to stop and see his old Russian comrade to discuss issues like Iran and North Korea. Putin has visited Bush’s Crawford, TX ranch previously and the President has usually praised Putin. Bush once said “I have looked into his eyes, he is a good man.” This despite Putin having previously served in the KGB and as comedian Bill Mahr said, probably poked people’s eyes out.

No, these are not hippie bums protesting corporate America outside this Circuit City. Yes, they make look a little dirty but there’s a good reason. They have been camped out at this LA area store since Sunday, waiting for the debut of the Playstation 3 at midnight Friday.
If you haven’t been living in a tent outside a store that sells electronics you will be crap out of luck for getting one Friday. Sony has limited the initial supply of it’s newest game console to 400,000 in the USA. The initial demand is much higher, so by making it a complete pain in the ass for …read more
