You might have thought that when Alberto Gonzalez stole off into the night, returning to Texas, a state besmirched by W. and all the other Bushies, that we have been done with him. But his spectre lingers on.
His nominated successor, Michael Mukasey, doesn’t know what water boarding is, and thus doesn’t know if […]
FIVE YEARS LATER
Oct 28th, 2007 by Alan Miller in Uncategorized
I didn’t know Paul Wellstone well, sadly. I met him on several occasions, and he appeared on “Access” only once, about four months before his death. One of the incredible things about Wellstone is that if you were with him for only a few minutes, he made you feel as though you had been […]
THE SLIME MERCHANTS
Oct 15th, 2007 by Alan Miller in Uncategorized
In my lifetime politics has gone from a difference in philosophical approach on a civil level to the attack-dog smear tactics which have come to mark the present-day approach, and are responsible, I believe, for turning off so many of our younger Americans from becoming involved. That, and of course, the extreme of materialism […]
MISGUIDED PRIORITIES

What the hell is wrong with Nancy Pelosi? As Speaker of the House, she’s been pussyfooting around about the Iraq war since her election, folding to pressure from the White House, continuing the funding instead of setting up a confrontation which might lead to something positive, and darting away from her own shadow. All […]
BLACKWATER DEFINED

Blackwater, W’s privitized no-bid contract army, accused of gunning down innocent civilian Iraqs in numerous atrocities, several of which were covered up by the State Dept.
According to Merriam Webster’s dictionary blackwater is “any of several diseases…”. Is presidential meglomania one of them?
W. introduced No Child Left Behind, with its unfunded mandates, and it quickly became Every Child Left Back.
Now he vetoes the S-CHIP legislation which would have added 4 million low-income kids to the health care guarantees (and saved the much more expensive emergency room costs in many cases) at $5B a year, because […]
2008 GOP CONVENTION LOGO
Oct 3rd, 2007 by Alan Miller in Uncategorized
The GOP released its convention logo today — An elephant, with its foot on the neck of a sick child, and its head up its butt.
I now truly believe I am living in the Evil Empire. How this despicable man can veto a bill to add poor children to the health rolls while living his litany of lies is one of the most shameful acts of a toally shameful administration. Doesn’t he realize that if he keeps these kids […]
