I just had to post this. It’s my civil duty to remind us all that people like Sealpatriot are out there for real. As I’ve said many times before. There is a greater reproductive advantage in “strength of conviction” ( modern day “survival of the fittest”) than raw intelligence.
This exchange is taken […]
The Bush administration’s escalation of U.S. soldiers to Baghdad and Al Anbar Province was supposed to be accompanied by a strong commitment of Iraqi forces. That commitment is behind schedule, as retired Vice Adm. John McConnell, the director of national intelligence, and Army Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, […]
Al Gore Will Not Only Run, but He Can and Will Win
Money Quote:
I even have the perfect campaign slogan for Gore: “Imagine how it would’ve been.”
Just imagine what the country would be like today had he become president in 2000 and not Bush. Imagine an America without this bloody debacle in Iraq. Imagine an America […]
Ever say something you wish you could take back? Ever deliberately say something untrue based on a calculation that the people who would hear it were too ignorant to know you were lying?
Ever get so deep in a lie that the only way to save yourself was to keep on lying?
Condi, did. Oh […]
From Talking Points Memo:
Cheney and the rest of the crew at the White House can’t even seem to get clear on what side they’re on or even what war it is they’re fighting.
That takes strategic incoherence into truly uncharted territory.
Marshall concludes:
. . . at the most basic level, the folks running the show can’t even decide […]
You may recognize the quote above. It’s what Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) has said in practically every interview for the last 15 months, whenever he talks about his plan for redeployment of U.S. forces out of Iraq. By implication, he is chiding his congressional colleagues and the news media for being too slow […]
The 9/11 attacks came as a big shock, that’s an understatement. I was shocked all the more because the suicide attacks seemed utterly pointless– a costly, immoral symbolic act that accomplished nothing. That’s what it seemed like because we didn’t know the enemy. We have since learned that Al Qaeda had a […]
The buzz on-line today is not the Oscars- but alternative energy and global warming. Heck, even the Oscars focused on the issue with “Inconvenient Truth” winning best doc, Melissa Etheridge singing the Oscar-winning hit song from the movie, and the stars driving hybrid and energy-efficient cars to the ceremony. Here are just some of today’s […]
The Feb 25 episode of Cold Case, a repeat entitled Rampage, was one of the more frustrating episodes. While taking on the issue of teenage violence with a certain sensitivity, the show also illustrated the connection between power and sexuality - in a painful to watch scene in which the high school jokes gang […]
You could call it the Big Texas Power Play. The proposed TXU/KKR deal for $45 billion could change Texas’ biggest utility and ultimately the entire power industry, including here in Utah, from an irresponsible, arrogant, polluting dinosaur into a green, futuristic public servant. This massive fissure in the cosmos started when TXU proposed building eleven […]
Has Dick Cheney ever said anything about Iraq that is true? Check this out:
The Vice President says that from his perspective the withdrawal is a positive sign for stability in Iraq, and not the British military running away from a tough fight. Cheney explains, “what I see is an affirmation of the fact that […]
We live in amazing times. Leaders (not just the fringe) of the conservative movement have come up with their own Wikipedia called Conservapedia
At least for me, this will provide hours of divertisement.
Here’s what others are saying…the Kossaks anyway. As time permits I will attempt to find some uh, unbiased reactions.
DarkSyde says:
Because reality has […]
You know the saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me (I think that’s right. I’m lousy at math). If this was five years ago, Utahns would’ve been more ready to accept Divine Strake. Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and the Republican-ruled Congress would’ve made sure it happened. But time and […]
While I always remain skeptical of sudden government announcements, I am overjoyed over today’s announcement (below). I and dozens of others have been working hard on this for about a year now.
Cancellation of Proposed Divine Strake Experiment
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has decided to cancel the proposed Divine Strake experiment. ?I have become convinced […]

“An iconoclastic economist discusses how the White House cooked the books on its march to war.”
Koshlan Mayer-Blackwell

Joseph Stiglitz has never shied away from using his platform as a Nobel Prize winner in Economics to point out policy follies in high places. In 2002, after he had left a post as the World […]
One of the leading queer-edge thinkers is Kenji Yoshino. His recent book, “Covering: The Hidden Assault on our Civil Rights” is part memoir and part queer social history. Yoshino lays out the legal battle for LGBT liberation in the context of other civil rights movements. He parallels our collective progress with his own […]
I think this photo symbolizes the implosion, if you will, of a party run amok.
The only thing more painful for these two men than looking at each other, is looking in the mirror. For Cheney there will be no redemption. he is definitely going straight to hell.
McCain on the other hand can save […]
In 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I went back and forth with some really dedicated Bushbots on a discussion forum. Inexplicably they kept bringing up the little-known Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, saying that the federal government couldn’t send relief aid to New Orleans because Bush’s hands were tied. For good […]
