I wonder what the chances of holding bush from successfully nominating a second justice to scotus before his term ends? He sure has been picking assholes lately.
If the president’s head doesn’t roll soon, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to respect american politics.
Obviously we know now their nuclear claims were wholly inaccurate. But more troubling is the fact that a lot of intelligence experts were telling the Administration then that its claims about Saddam’s nuclear capabilities were false.
What has been the response of this Republican-controlled Congress to the Administration’s manipulation of intelligence that led to this protracted war in Iraq? Basically nothing. Did the Republican-controlled Congress carry out its constitutional obligations to conduct oversight? No. Did it support our troops and their families by providing them the answers to many important questions? No. Did it even attempt to force this Administration to answer the most basic questions about its behavior? No.
It’s nice to know that someone up there is doing something.
Bush is doing his best to fuck up America. His department of the interior is passing a draft of new legislation regulating our National parks, and it isn’t pretty.
Mr. Hoffman’s rewrite would open up nearly every park in the nation to off-road vehicles, snowmobiles and Jet Skis. According to his revision, the use of such vehicles would become one of the parks’ purposes. To accommodate such activities, he redefines impairment to mean an irreversible impact. To prove that an activity is impairing the parks, under Mr. Hoffman’s rules, you would have to prove that it is doing so irreversibly – a very high standard of proof. This would have a genuinely erosive effect on the standards used to protect the national parks.
Who the fuck voted for this piece of shit?
The hallmarks of the Bush/Rove governing philosophy
Although 2004 was the worst Hurricane season in the southeast US, Bush dramatically cut funding to local Hurricane protection authorities. Enter Katrina, and N.O. is 10 feet under and the water is still rising.
