Your money's on the dresser, baby. I'm done wit' you.


In yet another non-surprising yet brazen move by GWB, he has again refused to produce certain aides for testimony in front of congress relating to the Great Attorney Firing of 2007.

What is with this guy? I mean, I'd like to chalk it up to disagreeing but I'm really beginning to believe that the guy has a major Napoleon-complex. I'd love to be surprised by this, but I'm not. I'm just standing in awe (not in a good way) of the whole thing wondering how in the hell we got to this point. Honestly, how far can a president push the envelope without the whole thing falling to pieces?

Benedict Lieberman?


Sen. Joe Lieberman, now an "independent" said today that he's not ruling out supporting a Republican for the White House bid in 2008. Yes, the same Joe Lieberman who was once the Democratic Party's candidate for Vice President. That one.

He said, today,

"I'm going to chose whichever candidate that I think will do the best job for our country, regardless of the party affiliation of that candidate," the Connecticut senator told reporters in the state capital Hartford.
The above is basically a cop-out. I'm all for people investigating the options and the candidates, but honestly, Joe...you're just doing this for attention. In fact, you really only do things for that sole purpose. Otherwise, if you were true to values, you wouldn't flop like a fat kid in a pool on a warm summer day.

Further, he said
"I'm not going to get involved until after both parties have their presumptive nominees and, frankly, to see if there is a strong independent candidate," he said.
Oooooh. An independent candidate. Like him maybe?

Going on...
"There's a lot on the line both in terms of the terrorist threat that we face but also all the things here at home that seem broken: our health-care system, our education system, the environmental problems we have," he said.
Oh...right. Those pesky environmental, economic, educational and health-related problems. That sounds like a list of problems best solved, historically by the Republican party. Oh wait. That's the opposite of the truth.

I'm so sick of this guy who basically didn't get his way with the Democratic Party and was not supported in his own presidential bid (as a Democrat) or his fourth bid for the senate (as a Democrat) because of his ardent and ill-advised support of GWB and the Iraq war. Now he basically thumbed his nose at the party that supported him all of these years and is elected as an independent...fine. But when he spouts off like this it makes me so angry...cut the games, Joe. You aren't cool anymore.

Ironically enough I got that picture above from a conservative website. It's still funny though.

I'm sorry, but "independent" is usually another way to cop-out.

Flip a table and don't say I didn't tell you so...

Scooter Libby has had his sentence commuted.

I know I'm shocked.

I'm so angry right now I could scream. I mean, does the law mean nothing to this man? And by this man, I mean GWB, because this is outrageous.

OUTRAGEOUS.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little


In another blatant attempt to disregard the Constitution, precedent and everything holy, the John Roberts-led Supreme Court has set this country back 50 years again today. In a ruling to be released today, the Court found that a district cannot voluntarily engage in a program of desegregation.

I'm not even making this up. I'm not sure I could. I'm not that creative.

I can't WAIT for this opinion to come out.

I feel like I shouldn't be shocked, but I still am. No matter how bad things get, I always want to believe there's more hope than despair. Then something like this comes around.

Why don't we just bring Jim Crow Laws back because we don't want any "special" treatment for people of color? Why don't we just repeal the nineteenth amendment? Better yet, how about going against forty years of precedent to determine that the Voting Rights Act got it wrong?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.

If Ruth Bader Ginsburg has to read from the bench anymore she's going to set up a tent over there so she doesn't have to commute back and forth from the office. I mean, why walk back to chambers when you'll just have to read your entire dissent from the bench again.

A whole bag of scissors is necessary to cut the games up in that Court today.

You have until the count of three. One..............Two.................Don't make me say three.

In a predictable yet ridiculous move, the Bush White House refused to hand over documents requested in a subpoena over the US attorney firings.

Is it just me or has GWB's method of executing his executive duties come down to a constitutional game of chicken? I mean honestly. Cut the games, GWB. Cut them.
