EXCERPT: One of the less obvious but seriously detrimental consequences of the Bush administration's betrayal of the public trust is the sowing of distrust of anything associated with "the This has unfortunately spread into the realm of the sciences, and now almost every official governmental report issued by NASA, NOAA, USGS, CDC; as well as nongovernmental but peer-reviewed study, is called into question.  A certain degree of skepticism is not without cause.  Many of the...

EXCERPT: A short while back I wrote an article basically submitting to Tom Carter, yielding the floor to our new and outspoken member.  I vowed to ignore his baited commentary and focus only on productive discourse.  I promised too much.  I tried, but when everything I've written since then is followed by the obligatory defamatory comment from Carter -- questioning my intelligence, my sincerity, my patriotism -- I eventually can't resist the urge to answer back. ...

EXCERPT: There are several trite accusations I hear from conservatives that drive me crazy.  You've heard them countless times before.   Liberals are all about hating Bush and nothing else.  Liberals just feel, while conservatives think (what a laugh).  Liberals never put forth any ideas, they just complain.
In as much as I hate fascists and people who spit on our Constitution, I do hate Bush and Cheney, and their minions.  I certainly complain enough about...

EXCERPT: If this sounds like a partisan attack of George Bush related to the collapse of a bridge 1100 miles away from Washington DC, it is.  It is in direct response to the televised and incredibly partisan Rose Garden press conference held by George Bush this morning, in lieu of a sincere expression of compassion or attempt to unite Americans following yesterday afternoon's tragedy.
I don't blame President Bush for the Minneapolis bridge collapse any more than I blame him for...

EXCERPT: You know, the upcoming congressional recess worries the heck out of me.  For instance, that would be a perfect time for the beleaguered Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign, and a more evil but less incompetent Gonzales II to be appointed.  There wouldn't be enough time to expose the election rigging or whatever other nefarious scheme this new Attorney General would be up to until it was too late (and it may be too late already).  Even worse would be a...

EXCERPT: This article in today's New York Times surprised me, just like my surprise when I first learned about "implied consent."  It's the kind of article that leaves you saying, "I didn't know they could do that."

Historically the number of Supreme Court justices has varied between six and ten.  There is nothing in the Constitution that specifies that there must be exactly nine Supreme Court justices.  The article implies that if a...

EXCERPT: I am tired of dueling with you Tom.  It is a distraction and a complete waste of time.  I was under the misconception that the Voice of Arizona does not seek to impose strict rules of conduct, but rather relies upon its members to police each other.  I tried to do that but you called my bluff:  it's not my site and I can't ban you.  Maybe it is only me that thinks your approach -- you unhindered free speech to launch abusive, personal, and...

EXCERPT: Paul Craig Roberts penned this hypothetical back-of-the-envelope Presidential speech during a commercial break on the Thom Hartman Show this morning.  It is chilling.
Potential speech delivered by George W. Bush before the next election and shortly after the next terrorist attack:
My administration knew that there would be more attacks from these terrorist who hate us and our way of life, and are determined to destroy every one of us.   If only more of you had believed...

EXCERPT: Yesterday Thom Hartman had Bruce Fein as his radio show guest; was Paul Craig Roberts.  Both are conservative former members of the Reagan Administration.  They both make the case for impeachment of Bush and Cheney now - before it's too late - otherwise its curtains for our constitutional democracy.  As Randi Rhodes is fond of saying, and as Paul Craig Roberts reasserted this morning, our country will never fall from terrorist attacks.  Instead, the very...

EXCERPT: I was listening to public radio this morning, and heard a disturbing report about the timing of the terrorist car bombing attempts in Great Britain, occurring just at the moment of a political power exchange between Prime Ministers Blair and Brown to maximize confusion and potentially muddle the government response.  This in and of itself is a matter of concern, as one would expect terrorists to deliberately take advantage of the relative disarray that accompanies a transition of...
