Magic Number: 935

According to a newly released study by two non-profit journalism groups, President George W. Bush and seven of his top aides made 935 false statements about the pre-war risk Iraq posed to the United States. Astoundingly, that is only the number of false statements documented after September 11, 2001. The study not only fingered [...]

Iran Lies by Bush Administration

Bush’s administration has finally concluded that Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program in 2003. This is a sharp contradiction to the last 4 years of anti-nuclear weapons rhetoric. Most would think that this would signal the end of the verbal tirades against Iran, however, our great leader, George W. Bush, is not like [...]

Letters to the editor

Sorry I have been absent the past weeks. I have been writing letters to my local paper in an attempt to help correct the American Public’s ignorance. My latest letter was in response to this letter published on October 1st:
William O. Stephens seems to be as misguided [...]

Gonzo is finally Gone-zo

Wouldn’t it be nice if Bush would nominate some honest lawyers to head up the justice department?  All of the top spots are empty.  But he will want people he can trust to not investigate his administration, someone who agrees to illegal wiretaps and torture and  prisoner rendition around the world, and I really hope [...]

Sunday’s quotation: WAR

James Madison on War
” Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. [...]

Bush’s legacy

It seems that George W is concerned about his legacy, and he is talking to a biographer named Robert Draper:

In book, Bush peeks ahead to his legacy

from Americas - International Herald Tribune
In an interview with a book author in the Oval Office one day last December, President George W. Bush daydreamed about the next [...]

Fox and War with Iran

Why does Fox News want us to have a war with Iran? Why do Americans let Fox News decide what is happening in our foreign policy? Why don’t they have to report real facts?

We should not need a camp like this

My dad left when I was five. He did not die. He was not in a war. He just left. After he left I was angry at him and sad, but I did not have a grief camp. Maybe it would have made things easier for me and for my brother. They’re probably very [...]
