Politics (new) People http://tarbaby.blogdrive.com/archive/149.html Sun, 25 Dec 2005 05:49:56 GMT 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. http://tarbaby.blogdrive.com/comments?id=149 http://tarbaby.blogdrive.com/archive/148.html Tue, 15 Nov 2005 09:27:35 GMT 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...." http://www.bushwatch.net/bush.htm And, IF WE DON'T TORTURE, why do we need to carve out an exemption for the CIA that would allow them to torture? What is it I am failing to grasp here? Am I suffering from cognitive dissonance? No, no , no ,no. I've figured it out. Bush is like the magician who gets you to look at his left hand while he...

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: I've obviously missed something....

Pat Roberts — who has led efforts to delay and downplay the need for investigating prewar intelligence — would back him up. http://tarbaby.blogdrive.com/comments?id=146 http://tarbaby.blogdrive.com/archive/145.html Sat, 12 Nov 2005 16:55:53 GMT 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. http://tarbaby.blogdrive.com/comments?id=145 http://tarbaby.blogdrive.com/archive/144.html Sat, 12 Nov 2005 05:17:10 GMT Get that warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing you have supported the Magnetic Ribon Industry today.

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." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051111/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_ap_poll Goes to show you some reporters do not know the difference between portion and proportion and some people will believe almost anything.

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: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/11/06.html#a5732 http://tarbaby.blogdrive.com/comments?id=142 http://tarbaby.blogdrive.com/archive/141.html Wed, 09 Nov 2005 01:24:07 GMT “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?
