• In the News… Quotes.

  - New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg on the vice presidency: “I have no interest in doing that.” Dick Cheney does. – Little “immature acts” Mike Vick: “Through this situation [of being prosecuted for killing dogs] I found Jesus and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to God. And I think that’s the [...]

• Bad News

  The following statement came up during a meeting today… “It’s like when your teenage daughter comes home pregnant. She doesn’t look pregnant. But you know it’s bad news.” I think this could be a corollary to the middle-ground folks who voted for Bush in 2000 when they thought he was a moderate, only to find [...]

• Quote of the Day… Quagmire.

  Dick Cheney on invading Iraq (circa 1991)… “The notion that we ought to now go to Baghdad and somehow take control of the country strikes me as an extremely serious one in terms of what we’d have to do once we got there. You’d probably have to put some new government in place. It’s not [...]

• Quote of the Day

  President Bush while traveling in the South… “‘I’m tired of the politics just like you’re tired of the politics,’ Bush told a health care round-table discussion, saying he wanted to work with lawmakers to find ‘common ground on common-sense ideas to solve common problems.’“ Oh, common problems; just not Iraq.

• Quote of the Day: King George

  The president yesterday likened the war in Iraq with the war for American independence more than two hundred years ago… “Today, we’re fighting a new war to defend our liberty and our people and our way of life. And as we work to advance the cause of freedom around the world, we remember that the [...]

• Quote of the Day

  Although I am not a Rudy Giuliani fan — his post-nine-eleven legacy is much different than the rest of his entire administration; like Bush, nine-eleven is the best thing to happen to Giuliani politically — the former mayor of New York City is one of the few republicans that could switch party lines without many [...]

• Quote of the Day

  Senator Chuck Hagel (of Nebraska), a possible candidate for president (and one of only a handful of Republicans that liberals, even me, would consider voting for), on Bush’s plans for escalating the war in Iraq… “There is no strategy. This is a pingpong game with American lives. These young men and women that we put [...]

• Quote of the Day

  President Bush on the sacrifice every American is paying for his continued war in Iraq… “Well, you know, I think a lot of people are in this fight. I mean, they [the American people] sacrifice peace of mind when they see the terrible images of violence on TV every night. I mean, we’ve got a [...]

  The president owns up… finally. “Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility lies with me,” during a speech to the nation, outlining an escalation in the war for Iraq.

• Quote of the Day

  The democratic representative from Harlem, coarse-spoken Charles Rangel, on President Bush… “More than any other President that I can think of, you have really, truly shattered the myth of white supremacy.“ Tip of the hat to the incredible Dan Froomkin.

• Quote of the Day (Belated)

  Former President Gerald Ford on the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld war in Iraq… “I just don’t think we should go hellfire damnation around the globe freeing people, unless it is directly related to our own national security.“ Back in May 2005, I blogged some Ford-era retro-style presidential photos featuring Rumsfeld and Cheney.

• Quote of the Day

  “I would call it a civil war. I have been using it (civil war), because I like to face the reality.” – Colin Powell, former Secretary of State Of course, it would have been nice if Powell would have done his job and not heeded to the demands of the neocons and knowingly presented false [...]

• Doing It For The Grandchildren

  While doing some research into federally-funded medical research programs (more to come on this subject later, I hope), I came across this kick-ass quote from one of our nation’s Founding Fathers. Many people consider this guy to be a sons-a-bitch, but he certainly did lead the first great American political dynasty, and is now regarded [...]
