Now that we finally have the magic ingredient, sex, involved in the Republican scandals, maybe we can get some nice 24/7 coverage for the next year or so. MSNBC had a report that indicates that up to a half-dozen members of congress could be involved.

As anyone who isn't a complete Republican shill knows, Bush has repeatedly violated the law by spying on American citizens without a warrant. The Republican-controlled Congress has responded to this treasonous act by proposing to change the law to make it harder for Bush to break in the future...

I don't see this posted yet: If it has, sorry Oblivion for PC preorder - $37.99 at Outpost

You know what? I'm now officially no longer proud to be an American. This is something that's been building for a while now, but this... This is just the straw that broke the camel's back. I've always been proud to be an American. I spent my childhood believing that my country could do no...

That's the problem with most media sources these days: they only report the bad stuff, just to make Bush look bad. Why don't they report the GOOD aspects of a massive civil war in Iraq? Only on Faux News...

I swear, the Republicans can't even bring themselves to PRETEND they're not corrupt anymore. They do everything they can to protect DeLay long after its completely obvious the man is going to be going to jail for a decade or ten, then replace him with Boehner, a man who's rushing towards his...

The Bush administration is definitely more than a little worried about where things are going. That Rove would be threatening members of Congress really isn't news: what's news is that it looks like members of Congress are getting fed up enough about it to at least be willing to risk leaking...

Saying that its $120 for 'Iraq and Afghanistan' is pretty much a deliberate attempt to fudge the issue. The US Military is pretty much doing squat in Afghanistan at this point (while the country slowly backslides into the chaos that Bush critics said would happen if we didn't pay enough...

As you may or may not have heard, DeLay is officially out as the House Majority Leader. They did their best to pretend that his massive legal problems would just go away, but in the end, reality always wins. First up, news of the voting: Oops. Well, that's what happens when you use Diebold...

So to summ up, according to the FBI, the NSA spying was intrusive, probably illegal, and didn't really accomplish much of anything beyond wasting resources that otherwise could have been used to protect the country for real. Actually, that sounds a lot like Iraq.

I'm sure everyone remembers the stories of soldiers and their families having to purchase their own equipment for their deployment to Iraq: well, it now appears that many of those soldiers are being forbidden to use that equipment: This would be entirely reasonable if the equipment was...

A new report indicates that the NSA spying that Bush is currently accused of started in early 2001, well before 9/11. If true, this pretty much blows the theory used to defend Bush that Congress authorized Bush to take this action after 9/11, since in fact these illegal actions were authorized...

I'm sure the whole thing was an honest mistake, and the tapes documenting corruption on the part of American appointees in Iraq will be returned any day now. In unrelated news:

Revealing as a lie the often-used Bush administration talking point that their spying was authorized by Congress in the aforementioned resolution. Such permission was requested by the White House but denied by Congress, before Bush decided that he had the power anyway (raising the question of...

I know its the Onion, but its just too funny to not share :)

First up, a public admission of guilt in violating US law, thereby violating the oath he took when sworn into office... Followed by a promise to continue breaking the law. So, can we impeach him yet?

Better what what books you read - Big Brother is watching.

Since PAD has so much fun with his 'Religion of Peace' updates, lets see what's going on with the 'Culture of Life'. In this issue, a fully consious woman suffering from cancer in Texas is removed from life support because she doesn't have insurance: Note that the law by which this action was...

I suppose its better than shipping the bodies via UPS, at least... Still, gives you an idea how much the Bush administration appreciates the sacrifices made by those who have died in his little war.
