here’s Bush’s supposed attempt at ‘bipartisanship’: AP/Yahoo
So, if the Dems try to exert any oversight, the little boy preznit is going to whine they aren’t bipartisan enough. We just want him to take his toys and go home.
The rubber-stamping days better be over.
Apparently Junior isn’t THAT miffed at Karl. He’s obviously still taking his bad advice. This election was a blowout for us because people are watching. This would be a good time to drop the histrionics and honestly make a few decisions for the country, not for republican politics. They are so transparent even a 10 year old could see through. I figure that they want to stir up some pre-emptive rancor. That way, when the Dems actually start oversight, these morons think it will shine a bad light on us. Won’t work. I am Teflon you are glue… bounces off me and sticks on YOU. Junior can take his suppository judges and stick ’em.
They had Ted Koppel on this morning, giving his opinion on Iraq. It was bleak…he pointed out that the Iraq war has “done for Iran what they couldn’t do for themselves”, by making Iran the major player in the area, and that when we the US pulls out, they will be moving right in to Iraq.
When asked what he thought Iraq would look like in a year or 2, he said that it would be better if we stayed until they had some governemental structure so that the civil war that’s already going on doesn’t get much worse, but that either way, we aren’t going to like the results.
Oh, they’ll stay the course until ’08, Dems will win the White House and they’ll try to blame Iraq on the Democrats. In the meantime, no matter what anyone recommends, no matter what is done, Iraq will probably get worse.
I caught part of Abezaid’s performance yesterday and could just see Rummy standing behind him with his arms folded. Abezaid will never tell the truth, he’s Rummy’s parrot and is only allowed a few phrases that all add up to one: “Stay the course, stay the course… Polly want some kickbacks… AAACK!”
You must’ve been up early
I don’t think anybody really cares at this point, and with his approval rating nobody is going to care any time soon 🙂
well not exactly. In Israel, they do care and are grateful….there’s the go ahead to build the ‘Bush Center’
“freedom will be a worthy focus.” Now, if only that could extend to the Palestinians. huh.
Again, I predict sometime in the future, Bush and Olmert will be neighbhors, with adjoining cells for war crimes.
one is snubbing Boy George already: NBC
Good for him.
I read yesterday that Glen Beck, one of CNN’s pet wingers that they try to pass off as newspeople, made a remark that Kieth Ellison has to prove that he’s not working for the enemy!!!!! I think Beck should prove he’s got a measurable IQ.
Good for Rep Ellison!
Ellison is working for the enemy…you know, the people of Minnesota and of the United States.
I thought Bill O’Reilly was pretty impressive with some of the things he cooked up “War on Christmas” and such. The stuff that Beck cooks up though, Holy Shit…..there are so many variables in his theories it’s like a three ring circus. I wish my old Algebra teacher would have allowed me to get away with coming to my solutions like that, it would have made things so much easier.
US plans last big push in Iraq
The American people have made it clear they want out of Iraq, and the administration’s response is to ramp up. Were are they getting these 20,000 soldiers? And isn’t Afghanistan falling apaprt at the seams as well?
I think they’ve been living in Orwell-land too long.
Bush’s “last big push” means to me. It isn’t fitting for genteel ladies to type such things let alone think them.
a Draft. They’ve already been taking grannies and granpapas – over 50s.
20,000 is a nice soundbite, the ‘win we must’ crowd are in serious denial.
Gen. John Abizaid gave McCain a smackdown yesterday
“Any attempt to send more troops to Iraq would, “at the moment, threaten to break our nation’s all-volunteer Army and undermine our national security.”
(h/t:Thinkprogress)
A sop to John McCain? Trying to set up his Presidential run?

The District is poised to become the first major city in the country to require that private developers build environmentally friendly projects that incorporate energy-saving measures.
By 2012, most large construction in the city — commercial and city-funded residential — would have to meet the standards, if the D.C. Council gives final approval to a new bill next month.
The era of “green buildings” would include devices such as low-flow shower heads and recycled materials and would require designing passageways that encourage walking, choosing drought-tolerant plants and improving air quality by reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling.
Now that’s encouraging news.
This is good news. Now if all the Federal buildings had to conform to the regulations of the elected government of DC, that would be even better. Which is a short trip to the radical notion that the citizens of the nation’s capitol should be represented in the Federal Govt. But Green buildings is still good news.
The carbon tax cometh. Just Park it!:
Brits face tax war on 4 x 4. Owners of 4×4 vehicles — the so-called Chelsea Tractors — will pay £25 (about $ 50 ) a day for the privilege of driving in London under plans announced yesterday by the city’s mayor.
Also related, there’s in the EU a proposal of taxing products imported from countries who snub the Kyoto treaty.
AND not just there, but over here, policymakers are in support of the idea that It Is High Time for a Carbon Tax.
A DAY! Seriously? That can’t be right.
yes, a day! That’s why, ‘the park it”
London has enacted strict fees for driving in the city in an effort to cut down on the appalling traffic mess. This sounds like another tough move in that direction. Besides, you’ve got to be a nutter to drive a Chelsea Tractor in the Big Smoke.
