Yesterday, federal agents raided the home of crusty old senator Ted Stevens. He is being investigated for improper ties to ‘Big Oil.’
Yes, this is shocking news, especially when you watch this video from nearly two years ago when the oil big wigs testified before the Senate appropriations committee and Stevens demanded and ordered that they not be sworn in.
It would be nice if people in power saw obvious corruption when it happened and did something about it then. Hopefully the old man does some time for obvious inappropriate ties to ‘Big Oil.’

Today, Washington Post columnist and dickhead Bob Novak claims that Bush is set to play risky war games between the Turks and Kurds.
The Turks are threatened by the possibility of a separate Kurdistan that could potentially take part of Turkey. As a result, Turkey has engaged Kurdish insurgents with brief skirmishes in northern Iraq. The problem may become more serious as Turkey is threatening to invade northern Iraq to battle the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party).
 This is a big problem for the US as it could open up a new battle front in Iraq between two allies of the US. Thus, our ‘Decider’ has …read more

There’s a new pasty Brit sheriff named Gordon Brown in town. After the ousting of the unpopular Tony Blair, many believed the new British Prime Minister would distance himself from royal asshole George W. Bush. Today Brown made it clear this would not be the case.
Brown met with Bush at Camp David and immediately picked up where Tony Blair left off in the ass kissing department. With the war in Iraq even more unpopular in Britain, the new leader pledged to continue to stay the course in Iraq.
He further brown nosed Bush by praising him personally and saying “let me acknowledge the …read more

Yesterday, Robert Mueller, director of the FBI testified before the House Judiciary Committee and made sworn statements that contradicted those of Alberto Gonzales.
Mueller testified that the late night trip to former attorney general John Ashcroft’s sick bed by slime ball Gonzales and former chief of staff Andrew Card did in fact have to do with the NSA’s wiretapping program. And there was in fact internal disagreements over whether the wiretapping program that was expiring should continue.
Gonzales had previously testified that the late night visit to Ashcroft was not about the wiretapping program and there were no internal disagreements.
Today the White House used …read more

Since Mike Gravel didn’t get much airtime at the Youtube debates I thought it would be interesting to show this piece highlighting his performance at the South Carolina debates 3 months ago. This was perhaps his best performance in getting his message out and bashing the other Democratic candidates.
Gravel makes some excellent points on our ridiculous defense spending (far and away the highest in the world) and basically calls the other Democrats pussies for not taking a tough enough stance on getting out of Iraq. Luckily at the end, Barack Obama says he currently has no plans to nuke …read more

John Stewart has summed up this fiasco best in recent segments of The Daily Show entitled “Mommy, Why is The Lying Man Still in Charge of the Law?”
Yesterday, Gonzalez testified before Congress again and apparently they did not appreciate the mockery he made of them, again. Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee led by Patrick Leahy said they would investigate whether the lying man has in fact lied to them under oath. On an interesting side note, Senator Leahy was the man that Dick Cheney told to “go fuck yourself” on the Senate floor a few years ago. Ah, the wonderful world of …read more

This was one of the more interesting Youtube questions posed to the Democratic candidates. It’s one thing to have a moderator ask a question, but when a lesbian couple asked the question themselves it put a much more personal touch on the issue. I think Dennis Kusinich answered the question best when he cited that piece of paper written many many moons ago, the constitution.

The Youtube debates just concluded and one of the questions addressed minimum wage. The question was whether the candidates would work for minimum wage as President? Chris Dodd said no because he has two children. Both Hillary and Edwards said they would work for minimum wage. It was quite noble for two extremely wealthy Americans to answer a hypothetical question that would never happen.
Obama said that they could all work for minimum wage because they could afford to, including Chris Dodd, who then retorted that he wasn’t as well off as some of the others. Poor Chris Dodd, lots of questions were asked, …read more
