These days Washington, D.C. seems like a sordid three-ring circus. There's so much sleaze and corruption oozing from the halls of power, it's hard to stay focused. We're all rubbernecking on the freeway as we drive past disaster after disaster.

Yet there are two issues that I think we need to stay focused on with laser like precision:

1) ending even the mere possibility that nuclear weapons could be used by this administration against Iran; and

2) doing everything in our power to see that Congress reasserts its power under the Constitution as a coequal partner and once again becomes a check on the current imperial presidency. The only way we can do this is for Democrats to take back Congress in 2006.

To that end, I am sending the following letter to Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. Please join me in this effort on the flip side. Read More

We are headed into Easter week, arguably the holiest week in the Christian calendar. The time where Jesus was betrayed by Judas, given up to the Pharisees who convicted him and turned him over to the Romans to be crucified, and yet miraculously came back to life, resurrected from the cross.

This forms the basis for the Christian religion. And a key part of this basis is Jesus' betrayal at the hands of Judas, who has been forever scorned as a result.

But the National Geographic announced today the translation of a Gnostic text from 300 AD that completely turns this belief on its head. And I want to see the reaction!

Although it should be no surprise. What is surprising is the size of the list--more than 10,000 enemies. This comes to us via Capitol Hill Blue.

From Capitol Hill Blue:

Bush Leagues
White House keeps dossiers on more than 10,000 'political enemies'
By DOUG THOMPSON

Spurred by paranoia and aided by the USA Patriot Act, the Bush Administration has compiled dossiers on more than 10,000 Americans it considers political enemies and uses those files to wage war on those who disagree with its policies.

The "enemies list" dates back to Bush's days as governor of Texas and can be accessed by senior administration officials in an instant for use in campaigns to discredit those who speak out against administration policies or acts of the President.

The computerized files include intimate personal details on members of Congress; high-ranking local, state and federal officials; prominent media figures and ordinary citizens who may, at one time or another, have spoken out against the President or Administration...

Michelle Malkin has a new book out. Titled Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild, it is a typical Malkin oeuvre--poorly written, false facts, lots of drivel about liberals.

However, what is interesting to me is there appears to be a concerted effort by the right to suppress reviews critical of her book. They have learned that if you get 7 or more people to click on the inappropriate button, >poof< the review goes away. I would like to propose that we organize a counter guerrilla movement and do the same in reverse. More below Read More

The website set up by Patrick Fitzgerald is a great idea. It allows those of us on the outside, access to key documents that define the investigation thus far and hopefully the indictments in the future. However, there is one major error on the site, that I hope an alert DOJ employee working for Fitzgerald will correct, if someone can get this information to them Read More

We have been busy putting together the timeline of Katrina. This is an important step in determining responsibility and accountability. But another component that cannot be overlooked or underestimated is a solid determination of exactly what resources were available to the local and state authorities at the time.

You can issue all the emergency proclamations you want, but if you don't have the logistics in place, your words will be hollow and people will die. As we well know now.

The word is out and it is not pretty. Karl Rove the grand master of political massage and payoffs is going to be in charge of something that is projected to cost more than the Iraqi War!

I heard from a friend of mine in Germany today. This is what she wrote me:

Date: Sat Sep 10, 2005 10:07 am
Subject: Just when you think you've heard it all...

According to Der Spiegel a German plane delivering 15 tons of food to the US
has been turned back on the grounds that the German Army food rations might
be contaminated with BSE....(or Mad Cow disease as we know it in the US)
