After retaking the House in the most recent election on a promise to reduce government spending and waste, future Speaker of the House, Billion Dollar Boehner, now wants to blow a gigantic $700 billion hole in the federal budget by extending the Bush tax bailouts for billionaires.

I tuned in last night to give Sarah Palin a chance to introduce us to the new face of the GOP. What I saw was KKKarl Rove in a dress. I will not watch McSame tonight or any more of this RNC (Ridiculous Neanderthal Crapfest). I’ve watched each party’s convention (at least what was televised on "regular" TV) since like 1980. I’m through with them and their petty, vitriolic, belittling of my party and our nominees for president. To borrow a word that pretty much says it all, "ENOUGH"!!

Looks like Amy will go unchallenged in the Primary.

From the Star Tribune

Ford Bell, the activist veterinarian who struggled for more than a year to establish himself as a DFL contender for the U.S. Senate, pulled out of the race Tuesday, just days before the candidate filing deadline.

He also endorsed Amy Klobuchar and asked his supporters to do the same.

Bell said he called Klobuchar just before the news conference, informed her of his decision and offered his support. "I ask my supporters to do the same," he said. "The differences within our party are important, but the differences between Mark Kennedy, George Bush and the needs of America are much greater."

Five kids from an auto shop program at West Philadelphia High School have built a vehicle that runs on Soybean Bio-Fuel. And this aint no GEO Metro (no offence to GEO or their owners) with a lawn-mower engine; it's a very attractive sports car, that goes 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, and gets 50 miles per gallon (on soybean bio-diesel fuel no less).

CBS News did a story on it. Video is also available (on the right column of the linked page). Read More

Oh, you mean getting rid of a long-time Senator who happened to be the party leader in the Senate and had tons of political clout may end up hurting our chances at keeping our military base? Read More

So, now Scott McClellan is daring us to look at how the intelligence was used in the build-up to the war and conclude that the claims in the Downing Street Memo, that intelligence was being fixed around the policy, are false.

From the May 23rd White House Press Breifing:

Q Scott, last week you said that claims in the leaked Downing Street memo that intelligence was being fixed to support the Iraq War as early as July 2002 are flat-out wrong. According to the memo which was dated July 23, 2002, and whose authenticity has not been disputed by the British Government, both Foreign Minister Jack Straw and British Intelligence Chief Sir Richard Dearlove said that the President had already made up his mind to invade Iraq. Dearlove added that intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. Do you think these two very senior officials of our closest ally were flat-out wrong? And if so, how could they have been so misinformed after their conversations with George Tenet and Condoleezza Rice?

Quoting from her e-mailed announcement...

"In 2004 we worked together for many hard-fought victories in the State of Minnesota. We did it from the ground up, starting at the precinct caucuses. Together we knocked on doors, marched in parades, and opened our homes to friends and neighbors to work for the common good. Town by town, street by street, house by house, we convinced people of the strength of our vision for Minnesota..."
