The ninth circle of my own personal hell would be inhabited by a naked and baby-oiled Dick Cheney, who would be repeating all the bullshit he said in 2002-2003 to justify our invasion of Iraq. In the background, Barry Manilow’s “I Write the Songs” would play softly on eternal repeat.
Not content to fade away into [...]

Harper’s Index Of “D’Oh”
The number of times I have become enraged by the incompetence, arrogance, elitism, and stupidity of George W Bush: About a zillion.
Plus one now, since I just read the latest Harper’s index. This month Harper’s magazine compiles some statistics on the state of the nation during the Bush years. The succinct treatment leaves no doubt [...]

Render Unto Caesar, Reverend Crazypants
Evangelists can always be relied upon to go down and out with a bang. Indeed, it is a generally accepted rule that the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Kent Hovind, wacky conspiracy theorist, “Creation Science” evangelist formerly known as “Dr Dino”, and owner of the now-defunct Dinosaur Adventure Land Theme Park, Science Center, and Museum [...]

Cheney Definitely Not the WORST Veep in History
(Note: In the original version of this post, I accidentally referred to Cheney as “President” throughout. What would Freud have to say about that?)
When I first read the news that 23% of those questioned in the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey said they believed Cheney to be the worst Vice President in American history I [...]

Laura Bush Nixes Pro-Impeachment Xmas Ball
Day two of Christmas-tree-decorationgate brings news that Laura Bush has decided to not hang the pro-impeachment ball we told you about yesterday.
Liberal Washington state artist Deborah Lawrence had been asked to submit an original creation for White House decorating committee consideration. After getting over her nausea at being asked to serve the King, Lawrence decided [...]

Irony or Ignorance?
I rarely go to the Free Republic site, not because their views shock me (after 8 years, who can be?) but because the site itself is so devoid of any adornment, it’s just wall-to-wall shag pile krazy in there.
It reminds me of that scene in David Fincher’s film, Seven, when Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman [...]

Impetus Grows for Bush Admin Inquiry
I shared a little dirt with you earlier this week about how Senate Democrats have very recently been discussing options for holding major Congressional hearings after they re-convene in January, intending to examine the misdeeds of the Bush Administration.
Reporting by the AP and the New York Times today adds greater weight to the sense that [...]

DoJ Lawyers Debating Charges for Bush, Cheney
Sometimes rumors sound too good to be true. That’s the feeling I had the first time someone told me recently that somewhere, somehow, deep inside the bowels of the Justice Department, lawyers were discussing options to charge President Bush and Vice President Cheney for some of the crimes of the past eight years.
But I’ve since [...]

Dem Congress Contemplating Major Bush Hearings
A general public consensus has grown around the notion that the Bush Administration broke laws, manipulated the Constitution, abused executive privilege, and lied to the American people in order to gain public support for its own misguided policy initiatives.
From ordering the NSA to spy on American citizens, to authorizing torture (and then denying it), Bush [...]
