Of course, the solution to solve the gas crisis now is to drill now for oil later? Any one else having flash backs to Whimpy's slogan, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today?" With gasoline topping $4 a gallon, President Bush urged Congress on Wednesday to lift ...

When asked what kind of advice he would give to the Syrians, here's what the Republican President said yesterday:
Q (As translated.) To both of you, what specific, concrete requests do you wish to make or send to the Syrian President, Bashar Assad, so that he normalize his relations with the ...

Turns out, Republican Faithful should have headed the old adage: Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.
Indeed, with the new book promulgated by Scotty McMessage McClellan, we learn that leadership by faith over facts doesn't work. From the Republican "victories" at the polling stations and ...

Every war is the same, and every war is unique.
They’re all the same in that they destroy in seconds what took people years to create.
They all destroy lives, families, communities, dreams, possibilities. They all squander
wealth and talent that could otherwise have done an infinite number of things to make

As the smoke peels
From your grill
Can you see
Our volunteers
Strung out
All over Iraq
Dug into the
Sea of sand
Or does it sting
As the dogs sear
And you cram down
Yet another beer
with nary a care
About what happens there
As the rich get
Richer still,
And you get stuck
With the bill
The war machine
Rages unencumbered
Driven, unchecked
Churning another
And another dollar bill
For ...

It certainly illuminates much of what our poor excuse for a president does. "Rearranging the chairs ...

Traffic commander Brigadier General Zuhair Abada Mraweh, has announced that next month his over-stretched, thin blue line will crack down on unbuckled drivers (the law ...

George Bush announced today that he'll be taking his marching orders from Auxiliary President David Patraeus and will stop troop withdrawals this summer. At the same time, he'll reduce deployment lengths to Iraq. But if you're currently reading us in Baghdad, don't get all excited. You're already there and you're ...
