It's Been A While

You might wonder what I have been up to. Well I've been working on a new group blog using WordPress as a blog engine. Just for your info the blog is Unspunblog. Yeah, our own domain and all the works. WordPress has a much higher learning curve than blogdrive. But I see they have made quite a few refinements here that should make blogging a lot easier. If you get a chance swing on by. Another Blogdriver is in our group, you may know her as Static Brain.

Ludicrous

Frank Rich of the NYT said: "So when you watch the president stand there with a straight face and say, "We do not torture" - a full year and a half after the first photos from Abu Ghraib - you have to wonder how we arrived at this ludicrous moment...."

Just Par for the Course

Expectations: When you have some one who comes in and tells you they are going to restore honor and dignity to the White House you have a certain level of expectation.

If once they get in they not only fail to follow through on that pledge but go in the opposite direction it is really a disappointment. Then once Bush's true colors began to show not only do you get a sense of disappointment that he never has held the high moral gound that was just so much of a sham, but it is actually much worse than that.

So this should not come as any surprise:

Lying about Lying

You can see for yourself.

This morning, not even Sen. Pat Roberts � who has led efforts to delay and downplay the need for investigating prewar intelligence � would back him up.

If Only It Were True

President Bush: "more than 100 Democrats in the House and the Senate, who had access to the same intelligence, voted to support removing Saddam Hussein from power."

Thats how you make that fresh, new start; lie about the lies you've already told.

In any case, he must sense now that he's blowing into a fierce wind. The judgement of history hangs over this guy like a sharp, heavy knife. His desperation betrays him. He knows it too.

Support the Magnetic Ribbon Industry!

Get that warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing you have supported the Magnetic Ribon Industry today. Also know that Wal-Mart loves you!

Now Here Is a Real Shocker! Not.

"Almost six in 10 - 57 percent - said they do not think the Bush administrations has high ethical standards and the same portion(sic) says President Bush is not honest, an AP-Ipsos poll found. Just over four in 10 say the administration has high ethical standards and that Bush is honest. Whites, Southerners, and evangelicals were most likely to believe Bush is honest."

Is There a Doctor/Psychic In the House?

Any fans of Commander in Chief witness Gina Davis divining the truth of her Chief of Staff? And as you wind on down to the final scene you realize that her powers of detection have failed her. You must also know that in this program Gina Davis is also a medical doctor. Why she does not have the powers of Senator, Doctor Coburn of Oklahoma is beyond my comprehension. Don't all medical doctors have this ability. Here is Senator, Doctor Coburn. I will let him tell you:

The Power of the Executive

�The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers, is in the highest degree odious, and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.� Winston Churchill From: A War on Terror or a War on Justice?
