Showdown in the White House

This should be fun. I wonder how long Bush will be in office.

Sago, One year later

Tell me why I should be surprised. The Bush regime has shown no respect for anyone except its cronies.

Suze Orman

Check out the NY Times on Sunday, for an article on financial guru Suze Orman. It is quite the read.

A National Shame

What does it say about our country that we cannot even maintain the best hospital in the US military? I urge everyone to read this article and ask your congressmen to speak up about this.

John Amaechi

Seven former male athletes have come out, with the latest being John Amaechi, who played collegiate ball at Penn State and professionally for the Magic and Jazz before the Knicks released him in 2004. While it is commendable to have gay men coming out, I am hardly surprised. Partly because of the rumors swirling around his sexuality for years. But it is doubly hard given his heritage. (Amaechi is half Nigerian) in a sport that is predominately Black.

This is a sad day for America. First the USA Patriot Act. Then the wiretapping. Next the Military Commissions Act. Now this. Courtesy of the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/30/washington/30rules.html?hp&ex=1170133200&en=f7bdc9f4cbb28c31&ei=5094&partner=homepage

The New Radical Republicans

Now that the Democrats are in charge on Capitol Hill, they have backed the Repubicans into a corner, and lik any cornered animal, they will find a way to lash out. Which they did yesterday when they tried to pass a different minimum wage bill with tax breaks for small businesses. I am so sick of these scumbags who have so beholden to the big corporations. Some of those that voted against the House-sponsored bill include a few up for re-eection in 2008, such as Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Thad Cochran (R-MS), John Sununu (R-NH), and Mike Enzi (R-WY). Shameless bastards.
