Clueless Cheney Tries to Scare Us into Drilling Everythingnew

With gas prices hovering over $4 a gallon across the U.S., the doyens of petrophilia are pulling out all the stops in an effort to get the U.S. to lift all environmental restrictions on drilling for oil.

The Most Important Quality in a 2008 VP Candidate: Don't Be Cheneynew

"Anybody but Cheney" in 2008 can be taken symbolically as well as literally. Obama and McCain should not pick people who given the chance would take the country in exactly the opposite direction the people want it to go and that the candidate promised it would go.

So What, America?new

Cheney's "so what?" means he's not going to change his mind about the war that he knows is right, even if he is wrong. "So what?" means that Bush is going to veto any bill that Congress passes that might interfere with "winning" -- but just what are we supposed to be winning in Iraq?

The Case for Impeaching George W. Bushnew

It takes a very high crime to justify removing the president, especially during time of war. George W. Bush, unfortunately, has risen to that height. His decision to circumvent the Geneva Conventions laid the groundwork for the abuses at Abu Ghraib.

Convention of Hate: Presidency Shouldn't Be Won on Slandernew

We have seen nastiness at both parties' rallies before, but in my time, which goes back to FDR, I can remember no oratory sanctioned by a major party that was more obviously a hate speech than Zell Miller's.
