EXCERPT: There was no knock on the door in the middle of the night.
The door simply exploded inward with a loud crash accompanied by someone shouting “Go! Go! Go!!”
The instant cloud of dust and debri gave substance to the flashlights and high-intensity laser beams stabbing here and there probing the darkend room and doorways for the enemy.
The Blackwater storm troopers were very efficient. Not surprisingly, after years of unfettered practice in occupied Iraq.
The family hudled in their secret...

Mukasey: No prosecutions in hiring scandal    Not every ... violation of the law' is a crime, attorney general says

EXCERPT: McCain and company are blindered by the Republican mantra of tax cuts.   The elephant eats it up like it was hay. The Democrats are too timid to speak up and hammer home the fact that the Bu$hite tax relief for the wealthy has been instrumental in getting us into the mess we are in today.       Those two facts are knowns.   The unknown is just how much the public understands that while the Bush Regime asked not what we could...

EXCERPT: Unhappy ç Jul 24th 2008
From The Economist print edition   “NATIONS, like people, occasionally get the blues; and right now the United States, normally the world’s most self-confident place, is glum. Eight out of ten Americans think their country is heading in the wrong direction. The hapless George Bush is partly to blame for this: his approval ratings are now sub-Nixonian. But many are concerned not so much about a failed president as about a...

Posted By: AZ Moderate Posted on: Jun. 19, 2006 at 8:28 PM
While the New Global View (NGV) that took form at Breton Woods during the closing days of World War II was very far sighted, there was a blind spot in the visionaries’ eyesight. This blind-spot led to a flaw in the foundation - a flaw that would not become obvious for a few decades. America and the world suffered through the Great Depression of the 1930’s....

EXCERPT: The salmonella attack had been but a dry run for what was to come next.  Jennie knew that now.  But a year ago it was not so apparent – at least for the first couple of months.     In retrospect she knew that it should have been obvious that something was very wrong when the Federal Government could not even identify the sources of the spreading epidemic.  But America was not prepared after seven years of childish incompetent, if not...

EXCERPT: Just in case you missed this, while it is not getting much press in the MSM John McCain’s behavior surrounding his divorce of his first wife leaves some burning questions for those of us that are “Family Values” voters.            McCain's broken marriage and fractured Reagan friendship   By Richard A.

EXCERPT:    "We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline …" according to former Senator Phil Gramm, a top McCain economic adviser and campaign co-chairman and now now vice chairman of UBS, the giant Swiss bank.        Seems the doctor is blaming the patient for the Bus***e legacy.      ...

EXCERPT: I am a huge fan of the understatement.  I guess it’s my English heritage.    Actually I am a good old American Mongrel, and damned proud of it.  But the English are privileged to be represented along with several other nationalities in this American Mongrel.     So I can claim English heritage, and I can claim to appreciate the sterling dry humor and powerful understated comedy of the Brits.     I would like to...
