  • Top 10 Reasons Hillary Will Fail
    26 January 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
    2 comments

    Here are the top 10 reasons Hillary doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell: 1. Being the quintessence of a flipflopper, she’s far more chameleon than true leader, watching the wind far more than stirring the currents, especially regarding Iraq. 2. Name recogniition by this time has, like a carton of old cottage cheese, exceeded its expiration date. (Just ask Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson and Newt Gingrich about that syndrome) 3. Her voting record is an agenda that prompts running from (…)

The station played a leading role, along with the other four major commercial private television channels in the country controlling 90% (…)

    Synopsis: US-based Daniel Patrick Welch reacts with expected horror to George Bush’s surreal State of the Union address. Democrats, he notes, don’t appear willing or able to stop the runaway train. With no cavalry riding to the rescue, Welch turns to familiar metaphors to describe a new despair.

    It strikes me how little of George Bush’s bullshit I can actually stomach as time goes on. It’s a little bit like THC, which builds up in the (…)

    “Powerful republics are the most warlike and unscrupulous of nations.” - Ambrose Bierce
    Washington, D.C. - While the Liar-in-Chief, George W. Bush, was giving his so-called, “State of the Union,” message inside the U.S. Capitol, on Tuesday evening, Jan. 23, 2007, demonstrators were outside robustly exercising their First Amendment Rights, on the west side of the building, near its reflecting pool. Close by is a monument to one of my heroes—Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. The protesters listened to (…)

    Dear Folks,

    by Jason Miller
    Deep crimson stains mottle the pages of humanity’s history. Untold numbers of souls who were skewered, decapitated, eviscerated, or obliterated in anonymity scream out for recognition as one peruses humankind’s memoirs. While our historical manuscript is also generously dappled by the milk of human kindness, much of our narrative is dominated by tales of man’s savage cruelty to man.
    And despite widespread misconceptions, the human collective of the United States has acted (…)

    President George W. Bush prides himself on "making tough decisions." But many are sensing something seriously troubling, even psychologically unbalanced, about the president as a decision-maker. They are right.

    Across the world, a dangerous rumor has spread that could have catastrophic implications. According to legend, Iran’s President has threatened to destroy Israel, or, to quote the misquote, "Israel must be wiped off the map". Contrary to popular belief, this statement was never made, as the following article will prove.
    BACKGROUND:

    "The best way to hide something is to place it in open view." - Dr. John Coleman, author and an ex-member of British MI6.
    Irving “Scooter” Libby went on trial this week in the nation’s capital on charges of perjury, making false statements and obstruction of justice for lying to the FBI and to a Grand Jury. The case centers on a leak of a CIA operative’s name—Valerie Plame— to the media. If the Special Prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, had also added a conspiracy count in the indictment (…)
