• Bush Covers His Ass With WMD

  The president has decided to make some major changes regarding the methods the government gathers intelligence. In all, he has adopted 70 of the 74 recommended changes set forth by the bipartisan WMD commission this past year. One of the four recommendations Bush did not decide to adopt: “The Director of National Intelligence should hold [...]

• The Future of the So-Called War on Terror (Podcast)

  On my way home, I phoned in and commented on the future of George W. Bush’s so-called “war on terror.” Then I fooled around with the audio, added some music, and experimented as I continue to learn about this podcast thing. Please be patient with me. My vocal audio is rough, this time specifically, because [...]

• The Diminishing Importance of Presidential Military Service

  It was the standard. It was, quote-unquote, “required.” In order to win the presidency, in order to be a credible contender, a person (alright, I copped out, I easily could have used “man” there, but I didn’t with the distant hope of what might be, yes, what might be, a Hillary Clinton presidency) must have [...]

• Larry David: The Roving Thoughts of a Liberal Insomniac

  I posted the following comment on the Huffington Post after reading Larry David’s most recent blog-entry. Image: Huffington Post And here is Larry David’s post… 06-28-2005 The other night I was awakened by my nine-year-old. I remained in the room with her for ten minutes, whereupon she fell back asleep. Unfortunately, I had no such [...]

• William Rehnquist’s Decision (Podcast)

• Karl Rove’s Comments (Podcast)

  My comments on Karl Rove’s controversial statements likening liberals to terrorists.

• Roving Bolton

  As part of last night’s surreptitiously disguised “live” interview with Karl Rove on MSNBC’s Scarborough Country (the interview was actually taped two days earlier and before Rove’s slanderous comments that liberals support the terrorists), Rove did shed some light on the administration’s thoughts on the embattled nomination of John Bolton as U.N. Ambassador. ROVE: John [...]

• Afghanistan Day: March 20, 1987

  It is true, Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation making March 20, 1987, officially Afghanistan Day. Now, this had more to do with upsetting our “sworn” cold war enemy, the Soviet Union, and not fostering the nation that will harbor the terrorist mastermind that will plot the successful attack on the U.S. fourteen and a half [...]

  On my way home, I phoned in and commented on a recent Supreme Court decision.

• Tucker On Smoking: Its Cool

  The highly-pathetic political commentary hour on MSNBC, The Situation with Tucker Carlson, does have some rewards. For example, Tucker confessing that he thinks smoking is cool, as he did on last night’s show, in his as-always poignant style. CARLSON: Look, the fact is, some people smoke. They like it. They’re adults. They get to do [...]

• Welcome to reyonthehill (Podcast)

  Finally, I say hello to my readers. Literally.

• Bush Will Finally Go To Vietnam

  Its about time! What is it now, 30 years late? Image: Washington Post Before I saw this headline, I was going to jest, “What is the difference between U.S. President George W. Bush and communist Vietnamese Prime Minister Phan Van Khai? The prime minister has been to Vietnam.” But I guess that joke has been [...]

• The Weakening Moral Slight Minority

  When members of the GOP, conservatives, and religious fanatics, state that they represent middle America, the majority of Americans, and Christian Americans, in the fight for religion to play a bigger role in governing on issues such as euthanasia, abortion, stem cells, and sexual education, just who are they representing? Where is this middle America? [...]

  Have you heard of this right wing outfit, Fox News? Here is there logo… Well, they have a cable news channel, a website, and a ridiculously large following. This fringe group even conducts public opinion polls. Here are a few of my favorite from their most recent survey: A couple of potshots at Hillary and [...]

• Email to Dan Froomkin

  I sent the following email to Dan Froomkin this past week. Dan- Excellent pick up on the Fox News Dynamic poll. What about this ditty? IsFox News suggesting that all Americans are Christian? It seems that way.The questions reads: Muslim prisoners, Muslim holy book, Americanprisioners, Christian holy book. “20. At the prison at Guantanamo Bay, [...]

• O’Reilly Quote Of The Day

  While attempting to discredit liberal Al Franken’s potential run for a U.S. Senate seat on last night’s edition of Fox News’ O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly conceded that Fox News has a political bias. The rise of FOX News and other pro-American news agencies as well as the success of radio talk show hosts like Rush [...]

• Commencement Speech 101

  Reports of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger being booed during a commencement speech at Santa Monica College are all over the internet. The reports state that the students were booing the embattled governor due to his recent call for a special election. My question is, why are they assuming they are booing Schwarzenegger over his politics? [...]
