Wow. I'd like to hear that from all the talking heads, but I fear all we'll hear ten years from now is "How did he get away with so much crap?" while they look at us with big puppy-dog eyes...

I have to wonder if good things aren't first born in bad things.
If having to go through 8 years of crap leads us to a greater progressive and liberal handling of the country for the long term then maybe it was all a good thing for the country. Sometimes you have to expose these frauds for what they are. You can only tell the people they're frauds so many times and they still not believe you. Sometimes you have to let their actions speed louder than your words.
If this period of darkness for he country's soul turns out to be birthing process that allows us to truly walk a better path then it was worth it.
At least it helps us to realize the universal truth just how stupid it is for us as a nation to think that cowboys make good presidents.
A leading Russian human rights group says it has found evidence of a former Russian dungeon in the Chechen capital Grozny where prisoners were tortured.
The Memorial group has published details of the abandoned prison on its website, including photos and graffiti scrawled by inmates and their captors.
Former inmates told Memorial they had been tortured there.
The pro-Moscow Chechen authorities said their own investigators had "found no evidence of torture".
Separatist rebels have been fighting Russian forces and Moscow's Chechen allies in the devastated North Caucasus republic since 1994.

I like to put pithy quotes on my office door. I've got Eisenhower on the dangers of a garrison state, Theodore Roosevelt on criticizing presidents, George Washington on the treatment of captured prisoners, Vonnegut on stupidity, and Joseph Heller's second explanation of Catch-22. ("Catch-22 says they have the right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.")
I just added Larry Johnson.

The Bush era markedthe return of dignity, accountability, and morality to government. You liberals will never be given any real power again. You are too dangerous.

Sadly, no. If there were any justice, they'd all be lined up at the Hague right now, being judged by a jury of their peers.

pie's too kind to these traitors. Lined up at the Hague and shot by their peers is closer to justice. And that's according to Bush himself. As for the troll calling liberals dangerous, I'm wondering on whose watch the WTC was destroyed and the anthrax terrorist operated. And when either party will be brought to justice. The very last things the Bush regime has anything to do with are dignity, accountability or morality. Treason is their specialty, lying their stock in trade, governing their weakness. Another 29 percenter for the gulag.

On June 5th 2006, Hovind pled nolo contendere as charged to three counts: constructing a building without a permit, refusing to sign a citation and violating the county building code. Hovind was ordered to pay $225.00 per count. The plea brings to an end a 5-year battle over a $50.00 building permit. Hovind estimates he spent $40,000 in legal expenses on this case. Meanwhile, the property taxes for Dinosaur Adventure Land are in arrears in an amount of $10,338.36 ($4,955.23 for 2005 and 5,383.13 for 2003 and 2004).
Nice point-by-point counter to the Marriage Amendment crowd, Uncommon Sense.

Historyman, and the Fundies lost another one today:
Mullah Dobson opposed this one because, like many vaccines, it works best if you give it to young kids -- and he would rather have women die of cancer than grow up knowing that they are safe from sex-related cancer.

My buddy Jane was one of the producers of Natural Born Killers, also wrote a great book about the film & Oliver Stone.
To think that normal people laughed when the Bush thugs vowed to leave the reality based communtiy in their dust.

My platform...
I'm for equality and same rights for everyone, I believe in an honest and accountable government, I'm for protecting the rights our forefathers gave us in the constitution, that my grandparents and great grandparents fought and died to protect. I'm for supporting our troops - which to me means giving them the best equipment (body armor, protected Humvees, etc), the best military plans they need to win, the best mental health support they need after a war, the best veterans benefits possible - I'm for a strong middle class, I'm for shrinking the poverty gap not growing it, I'm for the seperation of church and state, I think women should have the right to choose if they want to have an abortion or not, I'm against legislating Religion on people, i believe it's every individuals choice, I'm for strong marriage bonds - regardless of who the 2 people getting married are, I'm for basic social services, I believe that people born into severe poverty do not operate on the same playing field as those born into wealthy families, thus deserve more help, and I don't have a problem with that burden falling more heavily on the wealthiest 1% of Americans. I'm pro alternative energy and I believe in the science of global warming, I'm for protecting America withouth taking away civil liberties, I'm against torturing another human being. I believe every American has the inherent right to basic, affordable health care. I'm pro humanity. I'm a progressive.

I have a question that I hope someone can clear up. Sorry if this is a dumb newbie comment but I think I am missing something.
The post says:
" Summary of the Bush Era
Larry Johnson just now:
I wish we were making this crap up.
-Atrios 1:41 PM"
Did Larry Johnson say "I wish we were making this crap up?" If not, what is the quote? Is this referring to something that was on tv? How do I know?
I hear grest things about Atrios and Eschaton but whenever I check it out I am often quite confused. Another post after this one says
" Priceless
Watching Markos being interviewed by Maureen Dowd."
Interviewed where? What's priceless about it? I click on everything I can in the post but don't get any more clues.
Thanks in advance for any clarification!
