It should come as no surprise that with the latest bad news for the administration in Plamegate and continued spiraling polls that there was a terrorist alert issued for the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore. Read More

I've been engrossed in several Kos threads today, trying to decipher the bizarre letter Scooter sent to Judy Miller in jail... Many different takes... all fascinating, and creepy.

Much of the speculation out there is that this is some kind of coded threat, which it may well be; a reminder to Miller that the White House 'knows where she lives'.

I wasn't sure how much of this I was willing to buy until I recollected a chilling post I read here a few months back... Read More

What do you call it when you are responsible for a death (or deaths) through incompetence or indifference? I think the police call it negligent homicide (I'm not a cop or a lawyer, I just like to watch other people pretend to be them on TV) so I don't know...

What do you call it if incompetence or indifference leads to the deaths of 40,000 people? And suppose the great majority of those people are members of a disenfranchised minority and you are the fuck-up oldest son of Old Moneyed White People?

I just watched Katie Couric of, all people, grill Michael Brown, the head of FEMA, on Washington's mind scrambling failure to bring this thing under control. The storm hit Monday. It is now Friday. FRIDAY! and the scene is worse this morning than it was last night. When asked when he expects the Guard to restore some kind of order, and ease the suffering on the ground (in the water), Brown had the balls to say, with something like professional pride, this weekend.

THIS WEEKEND?? THIS WEEKEND?? One week after the event? Read More

One of the greatest lines from any Woody Allen movie is delivered by Max von Sydow in Hannah and Her Sisters when the great Nordic thespian grumbles, "if Jesus came back and saw what's going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up."

That line comes to mind every day when I read the news it seems. Read More

Sen. Pat Roberts seems determined to save Bush some embarrassment on how the president's subordinates crafted their bullshit case for war with Iraq out of intelligence that was either wrong or didn't exist... in other words he's helping the Bush team kill a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence investigation that could show that the administration and Defense policy makers LIED!

In a typically jingoistic speech to U.S. troops at Fort Hood this past Wednesday, President Bush said, "as the Iraq democracy succeeds, that success is sending a message from Beirut to Tehran that freedom can be the future of every nation."*

Hmmm... depends on what you mean by success I guess. Take a look at the latest Iraqi dispatches and judge for yourself:

U.S. and Iraqi troops raided a town on Saturday to rescue 150 Shi'ite hostages whom Sunni rebels have threatened to kill in a standoff that raised fears sectarian violence in Iraq could spiral out of control. [emphasis mine]

I sure as shit hope what's happening in Iraq today does not spread to Beirut and Tehran.
