I am angry. It seems that when our dubya administration outsources stuff, they can stand back and deny any culpability when the contractor fails. Well, they failed bigtime, just like they are failing in Iraq. Seems they are really good at taking the government money, but when it comes time to show any progress, they are no where to be found. And the money goes missing. I'll be following this story, as I work fairly closely with URS Corporation, as they are Corps of Engineers contractors ...

The south is going to hell in a handbasket, and this is what dick is doing. Shouldn't he be ...... like ....... helping the southern tragedy? This kind of speaks for itself. I guess he views the disaster as some kind of financial opportunity..... for himself. Oh wait....... Didn't Halliburton already get the contract to repair the navy yards and oil refineries? Yeah, I guess his work on the disaster is done. Cheney to host Talent fundraiser Published Thursday, September 1, 200...

I am not going to add anything to this, as it really does say it all. The only thing I did was bold some text in the first line, because it's all that good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THIS SAYS IT ALL: Sometimes an emailer says it better than I ever could. Read this. Read all of it. You know why I endorsed Kerry last time? Not because I liked Kerry or ever dreamed of backing him. I'm not a liberal. I'm not a Bush-hater. I backed the war. Initially, I trusted and supp...

I did a google search and came upon his website, Link wherein the last date for any activity is August 18th. Nothing since, and nothing else found by google. Anyone here been wondering the same thing? We lefties have come to the conclusion that he's off eating babies.

According to this article in the Washington Times, a report has been delivered to Congress this week that discusses the CIA failures to develop a strategy against Al Qaeda and the run-up to 9/11. The article writer describes it as "scathing", and to which George Tenet has come out as refusing to be the White House fall guy to protect Bush and company. Per the article, "Mr. Tenet's response to the report is a 20-page, tightly knitted rebuttal of responsibility prepared with the aid of a lawy...

Today on Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer asked Bush why he wasn't better prepared for the Louisiana catastrophe considering they KNEW in advance that a huge hurricane was coming. His response "Well, no one could have anticipated a breach in the levees." Of course, Ms. Sawyer didn't press him any further on the point. That's such an appauling answer. Of course they new. They just chose to not fund it. It was a catastrophe waiting to happen, and frankly, it's this administration's j...

When you look at the chart, and you consider that they got a no-bid contract to clean up the mess prior to the mess and anticipation of the mess, it's hard not to question the motives. Particularly when the VP is so heavily vested in Halliburton. He set up the who fucking scam, after all. There really ought to be a law against profitting from war. Most profits should be put into accounts to pay for war reparations. If that was the case, then not many people would want to participate, and...

Notice, this was published TODAY. I am posting this, because I've read this kind of stuff before, maybe as long as two years ago. Bush is not a nice man. He is not a moral man. He acts like a child who is losing a game, and wants to kick over the game board. But, this ain't no game, boys and girls. We're in deep shit. Is Bush Out of Control?

Response to AAR-funding scandal bull garbage Please read something a bit more timely and relevant to the issue you're trying to blow out of proportion. In fact, this "scandal" ended up being all about a slimeball named Cohen and about the Boys and Girls Club bookkeeping improprieties, and had nothing to do with Air America Radio. Per the Cybercast News Service Link : On June 24, the New York City Department of Investigation (DOI) announced that it was terminating all contracts with ...

Evolution has "gaping holes". Intelligent design IS a gaping hole. "To explain the origin of the DNA/protein machine by invoking a supernatural Designer is to explain precisely nothing , for it leaves unexplained the origin of the Designer. You have to say something like 'God was always there', and if you allow yourself that kind of lazy way out, you might as well just say 'DNA was always there', or "Life was always there', and be done with it." --Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watc...

Ya gotta wonder............ Now that the story broke that Muhammed Atta and his gang were names that US intelligence had a year before 9-11, and they did nothing about it, basically dropping the entire ball, Ya gotta wonder........ Now that the 9-11 Commission has concluded its business and no longer has any subpoena powers......... Ya gotta wonder............ What else is going to come out about the failure of the intelligence to prevent the 9-11 tragedy? Basically, I'm not...
