As evidence of Trump goon Michael Cohen’s secret trip to Prague grows, listen to Czech composer Bedrich Smetana’s Die Moldau (Ma Vlast in Czech). The symphony beautifully creates the sound of the gathering waters from mountain streams forming the Moldau River which swells and grows to its full majesty flowing through Prague -- sort of like Robert Mueller’s investigation.

The Alternative Minimum Tax is unfair and both parties agree should be eliminated or millions of middle class taxpayers will be unfairly overtaxed.The Democrats' "pay as you go" rules require an offset of spending cuts or tax increases to replace revenue lost by fixing the AMT. They propose ending a tax loop hole for hedge fund managers to pay for the AMT fix. President Bush,in his weekly Saturday radio address said no to that and vows to veto any tax increase. He seems to have the votes to back up his veto and the Dems are determined to maintain Pay As You Go and avoid digging a bigger budget deficit. Folks, we have a stalemate. If Bush won't sign on to closing the loop hole for the Hedge funds or any other tax increase then that leaves only spending cuts as a way to underwrite the AMT fix. Should the Democrats go along with the President what on earth could be cut?
The ANSWER is below the fold.

The GOP/Lieberman War Coalition has blocked anti war legislation using the threat of filibuster and 40+ votes to block cloture. The American people oppose the war, a majority of the House opposes the war and a majority, but not 60% of the Senate is on record against the war. So our US democracy has decided, the 40% have spoken, let's have more war.
BUT, wait a minute, we Americans have had it with the war in Iraq. We want out so how do we stop the war. Is the answer to filibuster? President George W. Bush is asking for $195 Billion in more war funding.Feingold, Byrd,Dodd, Obama, Clinton, Biden are you against the war? Then why not filibuster?
Let the GOP/Leiberman cloture busters have a taste of their own medicine. Talk til they drop! Talk til they drop their support for the war that's bankrupting America and unnecessarily shedding the blood of our precious young men and women.Now is the time to filibuster .

Conservative military analyst Bill Lind, of Paul Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation lays out his strategy for victory in Iraq. Like President Bush he casts an analogy to Vietnam. Except that Lind argues the US strategically won the Vietnam War and in a similar way the US can strategically
win the War in Iraq.
