Bush claims to have given up golf to show his solidarity with the troops, then goes golfing. And Keith Olbermann lets him have it.
This one is worth watching to the very end…

If there is a spike in IEDs this week, well, you know who to blame.  Nationals fans!

This, and much, much more (52 comments, most of them quite thoughtful) in the comments section to our post of [...]

YES!
Susan Jacoby has written a book on anti-intellectualism in America (a subject that we have touched on before). Her assessment: (1) we are woefully, blithely ignorant of the most basic facts of history, geography, science, whatnot.

Choosing his words with customary care, Bush recently mentioned Iran and WW III in the same sentence. Neocons have decided that a third front (Iran) will ensure victory on the first two (Afghanistan and Iraq), and have appalled the world by recommending immediate bombing of Iranian nuclear sites.

Turns out that we’re all just as safe as we need to be, Port of Long Beach included…

But there is nothing to worry about, because according to the [...]

It’s only fitting that our first CEO President should also be our first Successories President

President Bush recently spoke with David Asman of Fox Business Channel, who decided to ask the tough questions, like:
What’s your biggest disappointment? “Social Security”
What’s your biggest success? “You know, I would say the advance [...]
