EXCERPT: On September 10, Keith Olbermann made a blistering “Special Comment” that accused the Republican party of making political hay out of the absolute terror of 9/11, and trade marking it to further their agenda. At the 2004 Republican National Convention, they offered a “tribute” to 9/11, on prime-time television, when children were watching. Instead of a tribute, what people saw were the most horrifying videos of planes hitting the buildings and people...

EXCERPT: All the people who are screaming bloody murder about what Obama said about the Supreme Court ruling on capitol punishment in the case of child rape, or FISA, or faith based initiatives, or any other issue they accuse him of on, need to understand one thing. The primaries are over. This is a very serious general election process, and Barack Obama is doing exactly what needs to do get elected. If you want, you can charge him with pandering, or whatever. It's a free country. But...

EXCERPT:
On his recent stop in Pittsburgh, John McCain said on KDKA radio that he recited the names of the Steelers defensive linemen when he was asked under interrogation for the name of his squadron mates. "When I was first interrogated and really had to give some information because of the physical pressures that were on me, I named the starting lineup -- defensive line -- of the Pittsburgh Steelers as my squadron-mates!" Of course, it’s untrue, and the sleezyist kind of...

EXCERPT: The following is an excerpt from “What is the matter with the world? From “Perfection at Home - A Novel Contribution to the Fallen Humanity” by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. “It is learnt from reliable sources that in an atheistic state, the village people were called in a meeting and were asked to pray in the church for daily bread. The innocent villagers prayed in the church for daily bread, and when the prayer was over the state officers asked...

EXCERPT: This fascist corporatocracy called the Bush Administration just gave predatory lenders a 240 billion dollar bail out a few days ago, leaving homeowners in tent cities. That's half the treasury. It's stunning, but Bush crime family steals big so people won't even realize it because of shock. It's the economic part of what Naomi Klein talks about in "The Shock Doctrine," and now it's happening fast and furious. Besides the war profiteering, and the oil...

EXCERPT: During the January 7 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann named Fox News host Bill O'Reilly the "winner" of his nightly "Worst Person in the World" segment for saying that Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards "has no clue," as Media Matters for America documented, regarding Edwards' statement that "tonight, 200,000 men and women who wore our uniform proudly and served this country courageously as veterans will...

EXCERPT: This is an letter that appeared in the Post Post Gazette today, January 3, 2008, and my response. Bhutto's killing is a reminder of what we're fighting
The tragic assassination of Benazir Bhutto has reminded tens of millions of amnesiacs in our country that there still is a war on terror going on ("Pakistan Blames Death on Al-Qaida," Dec. 29). The Democrats and their outriders in the liberal media are hugely disappointed, because when the issues of terrorism and...

EXCERPT: The following is my letter to the editor of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette:
On Thursday, Senator Casey (D-PA) and other "Democrats" in the world's greatest deliberative body got together to decide whether or not to condemn a newspaper advertisement. (S.Amdt. 2934) The final vote was 72-25 to admonish MoveOn for its "General Betrayus" ad.
Where was the senate when the "Swift Boat" people were attacking one of their own, John Kerry? Where was John...

EXCERPT: As Thom Hartmann pointed out on Tuesday, after he got back from Germany, Europeans are much more keyed in on the news than we are in the States. For example, the Sunday Telegraph in an article bluntly titled "Bush setting America up for war with Iran" reported that vice president Cheney is planning on using bunker-busting tactical nuclear weapons against Iran's nuclear sites. Oh, you mean the same tactical nukes that were flown from Minot AFB to Barksdale AFB, which is...

EXCERPT: After the ’04 election, the exit polls asked voters what was the most important thing that guided their vote. The majority answer was “moral values.” This was a misleading answer, however, because to the “religious right” (which is neither). When these people talk about moral values, they are talking about wedge issues like hating the gays, (because most of them are gay, and they hate themselves) and abortion, etc.
Everyone is frustrated with the way this...
