Damn you George W.! You managed to sully the one piece of good news I've seen since...since, you took office. If only Iraq had an autistic basketball star.

J-Mac And The President

President Bush: "I am very honored to meet you Jason, can I call you J-Mac?"
J-Mac: "Yes, sir."
President Bush: "You can call me George W."
Bush told the media gathered that the story has "captivated the American public" and "touched the hearts of citizens all over the country."

And let's be clear, critics of Bush are America haters who don't support awe-inspiring athletic heroics--looking your way Feingold.

When I launch Internet Explorer (very rare) it automatically opens to netscape. I just haven't bothered to change it because I really only use Firefox. Plus, it's a good way to see what news is getting served to the masses. Today's Headline, Dems Indicted; Clinton, Kerry Targeted

I was shocked. What was this all about? Since earlier this morning when I checked the news had the Dems committed a great crime? Had they been implicated with Abramoff? No! They had been "charged" by the head of the GOP, Ken Mehlman, with an inability to find an election-year slogan. Read More

This is going to be a great conference. If these "Christians" spent half as much time fighting the AIDS epidemic, ending hunger abroad and in the US, calling on the US to give more of it's budget in aid, demanding action to stop genocide in Darfur , helping to implement the UN Millennium Goals, and generally sharing the "Peace of Christ" instead of wasting their time with this bullshit, they might actually Reclaim America for Christ. Of course, banning abortion and bitching about the threats of evolution, gays, and stem cell research while hanging out in the air conditioning in Florida with Mike Huckabee and Katherine Harris is so much easier. I hope there's a mid-day Rush break!

Over at Give Orange our community is launching 7 Fridays of Give Up and Give. We are gathering ideas from our supporters on creative ways to give something up on each Friday of Lent, and give something to others in return.

This Friday, people are being asked to skip a movie this weekend. Instead, use the money saved to sign up for membership in the Genocide Intervention Network. GINet is a great project from the Center for American Progress that transcends partisanship and empowers people to help stop the Darfur genocide by supporting the AU Peacekeeping efforts. Membership is only $15.00. Please join. Read More

The Bush Administration is adamant about protecting our security methods and results when revealing them would be politically inconvenient, embarrassing, or reveal that they are breaking the law. However, they are happy to blab away when politics makes revealing allegedly sensitive information politically expedient. Today's example came from Scott McClellan who gave terrorists great insight into how to avoid port security.

Get ready for the revelation of a lifetime. Bush's mic was left on inadvertently during the Republican Retreat as he delivered his confidential remarks to the caucus. Oooh, this is gonna be hot. Maybe he'll call Brownie and "asshole." Maybe, he'll tell that guy Cheney shot to "Go Fuck Yourself!" Whatever he says, we are going to get our first look at Bush's real thoughts on the Domestic Wiretapping controversy. Alright, enough build-up, let's get to the goods...

I'm am disgusted to see a funeral once again being used as a political prop. A funeral or memorial is a solemn occasion and not a forum to take stabs at one's political opponents. I was sad to be an American, watching as our beloved President was forced to sit as his policies, which have done no harm to the black community, were questioned. Dr. King and Coretta must have looked down with shame. What kind of sick people would use the death of a great American for political gain? I'm equally sickened by the press who has barraged us with articles about Bush "squirming on the dais." Do we really need to know that Bush, "...wore a tight grin?" Only a true political hack would make the reactions and expressions of a President at a funeral the focus of their reporting.

For once, I'm in agreement with the pragmatists of the Democratic Party. The fight to stop Alito is one that we cannot win. It is better to keep our powder dry. You might respond, "Keep it dry! For what?" Glad you asked. I can think of fights for which we will be glad we kept our powder dry. (a rock solid argument on the flip)

That left-wing media is at it again. Kerry anounces he is supporting a filibuster, so does CNN ask whether or not he should support a filibuster? Do they ask if Alito should be filibustered? Do they ask if other Democrats will join Kerry? No, they have the audacity to ask this -- not so subtly implying that Kerry doesn't really believe in what he's doing. It is unbelievable and the Right would never suffer such treatment.

As atrios notes, the Congressional Research Service has concluded that Rep. Jane Harman is correct that, despite Malkin's stupidity, Bush broke the law by not informing all of the Intelligence Committee about his illegal spying. Of course, none of this is front page news for the Traditional media, but notice what is! Head below the fold for more. Read More

From AP

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Samuel Alito is poised to join a tradition of pragmatic justices who have moved the Supreme Court to the right in measured steps.<snip>

Instead, legal experts say, the hearings may have provided more understanding of Alito's influence on the court's changing dynamics when he replaces retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the decisive vote on abortion, affirmative action and the death penalty.<snip>

For example, while Alito will fit comfortably in the conservative camp of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, legal experts see him as being closer to Scalia than Thomas in his incremental approach to overturning what the court has done before.

"Alito's not going to be a radical," said Christopher Wolfe, a political science professor at Marquette University.

We got more of the "Shoe-in for confirmation" talk from Stewart tonight. Strangely he started to she by referring to Alito's "supposed membership" in CAP. Author and Clerk Ed Lazarus provided the "expert opinion" assuring us that Stewart is right and the hearings are pointless show.

As they talked about the unlikelyhood of Alito making a gaffe, it occurred to me how strange it is that nobody can say what any reasonable person knows to be true -- Alito, is not simply being coy, he is LYING. Those on here who always insist on the Smoking Gun before we take action live in a fantasy world. I've said many times, the days of the Smoking Gun are gone, replaced by powerful PR machines and wives who cry on cue. It is simply unreasonable to believe Alito bragged about his CAP membership and had know idea what the group was about, just as it is unreasonable to think Bush, Cheney and Condi thought we'd be attacked with nuclear weapons and anthrax carrying drones from Iraq. We need to wise up and stand up before the rest of our rights are trampled and soldiers sent to die.
