“Go sinner, and lurk no more.”

“And remind me again why Karl Rove still has a security clearance”

And remind us again why Karl Rove still has a job in the White House

I wonder why the rush to execute Saddam?

Rummy’s never written a book; now’s the time, and only Saddam can first-person refute the Eighties chapter….

NSA warrantless wiretapping, and data mining operations directed against American citizens in general

The Military Commissions Act: its legislative history (and Democratic connivance in its passage), what it actually says, and who can be detained under it (Hint: everyone).

The North Korean nuclear test was a flop and provided an opportunity for real diplomacy and not end of the year grandstanding.

Ahmadinejad does not run Iran; the Ayatollah Ali Khamanei does.

The meaning of “free” in free trade (pollution, workers’ rights, currency manipulation, etc.) and how this ties into our trade deficit with China

Stagnant wages for American workers for the last 3 decades

The failure to include borrowing from Social Security in the yearly budget deficit. (Last year this came to nearly $180 billion.)

Anything to do with healthcare in this country since the system is rotten clear through

Along the same lines, the Department of Homeland Security. This had boondoggle and pork written all over it from the get go and has only gotten worse since.

Drastic underfunding of basic research in the Bush Administration which in the past gave us our edge in technology and new markets.

Gutting nuclear nonproliferation in the recent India nuclear deal. The message is that helping the Indians get more bombs is OK but with Iran and North Korea not so much.

Condoleezza Rice is as inept at the State Department as she was as National Security Adviser.

And remind me again why Karl Rove still has a security clearance

And just for the fun of it, an independent commission to investigate the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections.

(I believe that is known as “gravemail”)

And another “Bravo”! (especially for ‘gravemail’)

ps Redd, did I miss your report on Peanut’s reaction to mommy on the teevee?

Did I miss Christy on television?! :( do tell. Is there a way to see it somewhere else?

I wonder why the rush to execute Saddam?

What don’t they wnt him to say?

I also thought that there was another Saddam trial either started or ready to start.

I assume that execution might be grounds for a mis-trial?

(Sorry)

Maybe Libby’s going to claim that Saddam is an absolutely essential witness for his defense…
