In other little noticed developments, the President Pro Tempore Emeritus, or, as insiders say, the PPTE, of the Senate, Robert “Klucker” Byrd (D-Klu Klux Klan) slipped two items into the budget bills just past. In keeping with his efforts to have everything in West Virginia named after him, he introduced a measure that would rename [...]

God, I love these guys!
I’ve ranted in the past about Trent Lott getting to keep his car and driver. Well, our Senators are at it again!.
The Kleagle of the Klu Klux Senates, Robert Byrd, gets an office and a budget, as the new President Pro Tempore Emeritus, or, as insiders say, the PPTE. You see, [...]

John Pilger: His most damning verdict on Tony Blair
My comments in bold from this point on
William Russell, the great correspondent who reported the carnage of imperial wars, may have first used the expression “blood on his hands” to describe impeccable politicians who, at a safe distance, order [...]

I watched most of the address. I agree with some commentators that the foreign policy portion came across as firmer and stronger. Bush seemed to be more determined and confident.
I had tears in my eyes as he talked about AIDS in Africa, and the students of Iran. Two issues of great importance that I had [...]

Bad weather has defeated a pressure group’s bid to blockade a UK military port in an anti-war protest.
The Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior anchored in front of Marchwood port in Southampton on Monday in a bid to stop a supply ship joining the Royal Navy Task Group heading to the Gulf.

I had an epiphany while commenting in another blog. Saddam’s rule of Iraq isn’t really a government. That’s why they all behave so very, very stupidly.
The Gang from Tikrit came to town. Imagine if the James gang had somehow taken over a town, or Al Capone had called his men to war with the forces [...]

Now, beside the fact that the blogosphere has demonstrated conclusively that the movement is dominated by all of the aformentioned…

Let’s talk snow. Not the dusting of white stuff that turns a Christmas morning into a fairy tale setting. No, I mean SNOW!
Like 100 inches of snow so far this year, only half way through the winter. I mean the stuff that makes my driveway narrower and narrower as I concede the fringes to the [...]
