WASHINGTON — In another push to deal with soaring gas prices, President Bush on Monday will lift an executive ban on offshore drilling that his stood since his father was president. But the move, by itself, will do nothing unless Congress [...]

Via Glenn Greenwald, here’s a glimpse of the Joys of Washington Bipartisanship as President Bush rejoiced in yet another humiliation of the Democrats this afternoon in the Rose Garden.
This one is special, signing the bill keeps Bush from being prosecuted on multiple felony counts for at least 30 violations of the Foreign Intelligence [...]

Allegorically speaking, to a political junkie such as myself, C-Span and C-Span 2 are the uncut heroin of political news. If you’re somebody who doesn’t really need to be told what you just saw with your own eyes, C-Span provides the perfect information gathering vehicle to understand what is going on in Washington politics, but [...]

Accept the ones that will hang if he talks. Thats how the Republicans are. They suck up to the guy in power, in the moment…and bail at the first sign of trouble. We are presently witnessing the desertion of Bush. But where ever will they run now? Certainly not McCain.

“The Republican brand is so bad, if it [...]

From ABC News:
In dozens of top-secret talks and meetings in the White House, the most senior Bush administration officials discussed and approved the torture of prisoners held by the Central Intelligence Agency. The advisers were members of the National Security Council’s Principals Committee, which in 2002-2003 included Vice President Cheney, former National Security Advisor [...]

The corporate media circus exposed via BradBlog in all it’s commercialized glory. Don’t miss “Lapdogs Of The Corporate Press!“

I think we are reaching a nadir in the American consciousness. There are so many indicators both large and small. The surprising populist movement lead by Barack Obama is an obvious one. The changing language and focal points of the Right-Wing are another. Almost no one is left in the media nor in politics [...]

In Harper’s, Scott Horton writes about The Great Guantanamo Puppet Theater. The problem with the military commission trials is that they are really political tribunals controlled by Vice President Dick Cheney. The trials of six “high-value detainees” linked to the attacks on 9/11 are timed to coincide with the 2008 election, and the [...]
