EXCERPT: Pork? Immigration? C'mon, you guys! Health Savings Accounts is the topic!
In Bridgeport, President Bush explained, "Just to make sure everybody understands -- a health savings account is a combination of a high deductible, catastrophic plan, and the deductible is a cash account that earns interest-free."
I think he meant to say that the HSA money set aside to meet the deductible earns tax-free interest. So he misspoke. He's done it before, just like his...

EXCERPT: Read the exchange between Average American and AZ Moderate in June's lighthearted description of how President Bush is laying the groundwork for WWIII.
Average American, ever the caricature of unconditional rightwing dependencies, provides a laughable counterpoint for those, like AZ Moderate, who understand what's happening and aren't afraid to speak Truth to Power.
A survey of the week's news shows that Power, like AA, just isn't listening.
The New York...

EXCERPT: Today, the Republican National Committee released a 60 second message for airing on talk radio. You may not be able to hear it on AM550 in Phoenix if it doesn't play well in Senator Feingold's district.
So, in the spirit of a fair and balanced presentation on Senator Feingold's censure resolution, and because the Voice of Arizona's Pro-Bush factions are so tongue-tied they seem incapable of discussing or even addressing the censure motion on its merits,...

EXCERPT: Remember Ollie North, the arms broker in the Reagan White House basement?
Well, Scooter's defense team has quietly retained John D. Cline who was North's lead defense attorney during the Iran-Contra fallout.
Cline, who specializes in the use of classified information in defending clients charged with wrongdoing in national security cases, appears to have inspired Libby's legal team to employ the same approach that succeeded in keeping North out of jail.
In the North...

EXCERPT: Where does lying under oath get you? Well, try on Perjury, Obstruction of Justice, multiple counts of Making False Statements. That's what the Vice President's former Chief of Staff is up against.
Hah! And whoever accused Bush of being slow on the uptake need only look at the Attorney General of the United States' unsworn testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee to recognize he's moved a ratchet or two up the Travesty Scale. No pesky indictments forthcoming...

EXCERPT: This is an open letter to Voice of Arizona. 
I just discovered the Trash the header:
"This is where Articles go that are labeled as Trash by our users. All articles are reviewed by the Voice of Arizona staff before being moved to the trash section. You can read these articles if you want, but we do not recommend it because of their poor quality, and we feel your time is better spent else where.
 
"You might want to know why we just don't delete them, well,...

EXCERPT: Whatever happened to Scooter Libby? Hold that thought…
At least until January of next year - that's when a federal judge has deemed Libby's trial will ready to commence.
Justice delayed is justice denied? Perhaps. But, for sure, we won't be plagued by the details of Libby's and Cheney's scheming to pay back Joe Wilson during the run up to the mid-term elections. Isn't that the goal?
And for those concerned that Scooter may be unemployed for more...
