“Liberals” have pretty much been on the right side of every major issue in the history of this country.
Ending slavery. Medicare. Social Security. Voting rights. Every one fiercely opposed by conservatives.
Those soft-hearted liberals were against going to war in Vietnam and Iraq. Those ventures both went well, didn’t they?
Now liberals [...]

The May 18 Winkest link article was obviously written several days before it was printed.
In it we wrote that the Defense Department, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, was going to release photos showing alleged abuse of prisoners in detention facilities in Afghanistan and Iraq.
This did not happen. The Obama Administration [...]
I have always felt it is a waste to not utilize ex-presidents more fully. What do they do when they leave office?
Many recent presidents have gotten very wealthy on speaking engagements. I don’t really begrudge them that.
It is nice that Jimmy Carter has raised awareness of Habitat for Humanity, and promoted democracy by monitoring elections [...]
I imagine President Bush is watching all the changes right now and wondering….
“President Obama is sure popular. I suppose some of that is because he is new. I was fairly popular when I was new. And he’s got that ‘black thing’ going. It’s always cool to be black. He keeps doing cool things, and [...]
So we are in this meeting, and I say to my co-workers “You know the government has recorded all of your phone calls and e-mails for several years now.”
Co-worker 1: They are recording our business calls?
Me: No, they were recording ALL calls, yours, and yours, and yours (pointing to various coworkers). [...]
–Sorry about getting this in so late; it’s finals week and I haven’t had time to watch my primary news source (The Daily Show)–
So we all know by now the story of Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the man that threw his shoes and shouted at President Bush at his news conference in Iraq. What some of us [...]
Iraqi leaders are now gently pushing us (the U.S.) toward the door.
What was our purpose there again? Feel free to ignore the imaginary ‘weapons of mass destruction’ and ‘poison gas factories’ that Bush & Cheney used to drag us into an unprovoked war. Let’s pretend that the real reason, all along, was simply to [...]
Eight years ago, Al Gore gave a rousing concession speech to the American people. His intention was to unite us after a month of toil over the questionable election of 2000. With that (most) democrats were willing to accept George Bush as the 43rd President of the United States.
It seems to me that today, John [...]
If conservatives think the media is generally liberal, maybe it is true.
Maybe this is partly because conservatives have made lies & smears part of their standard operating procedure. Eventually, even a moronic, weak-kneed press will catch on and start investigating what you say rather than just reporting it.
Case in Point: The GW lie machine was [...]
We can NOW call this a Recession, at a very minimum….
The causes of this recession are many and varied but, had the 2000 election turned out differently, the U.S. may have had a shot at avoiding or reducing the damage of this downturn.
Remember, we had many years of budget SURPLUSES during the Clinton administration. Surpluses tend to [...]
