When We Don’t Learn From Our Mistakes…

... we tend to repeat them. Last night, President Obama told the American people that we learned nothing from the Cheney-Bush-Rumsfeld-Rice-Powell debacle that was our last invasion of Iraq. Somehow, this administration learned nothing from its predecessors. One lesson they should have learned is that you can't bomb your way to peace. It's just plain impossible. So what should we be doing about the legitimate horror that is ISIS (or ISIL or the Islamic State)? Stephen Miles, Advocacy Director at Win Without War joined me on the show this morning with response to last night's address. Before the speech began, [...]

Channeling My Inner Howard Beale

That's who I felt like today, ranting and raving about the madness that's taken over, seemingly, EVERYTHING! From the bullshit about Benghazi, to the wrong outrage over the IRS, to Apple and others dodging their taxes, to cutting programs for the neediest among us, to the epidemic of sexual assault in the military, to the dysfunction in Washington, to the warming of our planet, to the vilification of teachers and civil servants and union members, to wimpy appeasing politicians.... I could continue, but I think you get the idea. We talked about all of these subjects and more today with [...]

Scandalous!

The GOP is at it again. That bastion of social welfare, the Heritage Foundation (they must be an organization devoted to doing work in the realms of Religious, Educational, Charitable, Scientific, Literary, Testing for Public Safety, to Foster National or International Amateur Sports Competition, or Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals as they enjoy tax-exempt status under their 501(c)3 designation, right?) wrote a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor urging them to stop doing the work they were sent to Washington to do in favor of ratcheting up "scandals" in the Obama administration.

Benghazi Tourette’s

If you happened upon a "news" program on TV this weekend, you likely noticed the latest affliction affecting Beltway Republicans. They've all come down with an odd strain of Tourette's Syndrome in which the verbal tic is "Benghazi". The neuropsychiatric disorder appears to have infected only the GOP brains that were already a bit off to begin with, but it's spread with such ferocity that containment at this point seems unlikely... that is, until the next overblown nontroversy arises. We'll get to Nicole Belle's take on what went down on our TV sets yesterday in just a moment... But first... [...]
