U. S. Attacked On 9/11 From Where? Definitely Not Afghanistan Or Iraq February 28, 2009

Bush and Obama and their war enablers have stressed repeatedly that the United States was attacked on 9/11 from Afghanistan, and thus do they justify our war there and our slaughter of civilians and destruction of the country.
Bush even convinced the usual gang of idiots (pretty much everyone working in government in Washington) that Iraq [...]

Bobby Jindal And The Pink Poobahs February 25, 2009

The Repooplicans chose Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to give their reply to President Obama’s address to Congress last night.
Jindal is a frothing-at-the-mouth Catholic who at least once conducted an exorcism, and a hard-right Conservative who is willing to sacrifice the thousands of unemployed Louisianans on the altar of his ideology by refusing to let [...]

Strong Medicine For Bad Times (A Soldier In Every Living Room), And How Conservatives Lie February 16, 2009

A couple of pieces worth reading.
This one on the current crisis and what America’s top intelligence official sees coming, and how the Department of Defense will crush the complainers (people like the Quakers, unions, the PTA, anyone with a brain and a conscience).

Alex Rodriguez Is Sorry He Cheated And Lied To Make His Millions. Shaughnessy Apologizes To Him. February 11, 2009

Dan Shaughnessy writes sports stuff for the Boston Globe. The Globe apparently pays him to do it. Today he boo-hoos that he doesn’t understand the vitriol being showered on Alex Rodriguez, who plays professional baseball for the oh-so-professional New York Yankees.
First, full disclosure. The Lion thinks baseball is at least as boring as watching a [...]

And Nazi Influence Keeps On Rolling. In Israel. February 9, 2009

Okay, there likely aren’t any Nazis in Israel, but there are Israelis who have taken the lessons of Nazism to heart and would happily apply them to the Israeli Fatherland and the surrounding sea of Arabs (‘rats’ Ariel Sharon and others called them, using the familiar language of dehumanization popularized by old Uncle Adolf) the [...]

Want To See The Future? Oz Burns. February 1, 2009

Still think global warming is just joke fodder for the fathead Limbaugh crowd?
