Former U.S. Attorney David Iglesias recently visited The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to explain why he was fired by the Bush Administration.

It appears there is a steadily growing group of Republicans boarding the Obama bandwagon. Dubbed Obamacons, these folks are weary of seeing their party exist as a “dead, rotting carcass with a few decrepit old leaders stumbling around like zombies in a horror version of Weekend at Bernie’s, handcuffed to a corpse.”

As we come ever closer to naming a Democratic nominee, I’m often reminded by various news articles that Barack Obama is the first ‘viable’ African-American candidate. Yet, I’m curious what makes a candidate viable (Is that shorthand for “Do they really think they have a chance”?) and wonder if Dick Gregory, Alan Keyes, Jesse Jackson, Cynthia McKinney, and the others I’ve not mentioned consider(ed) themselves impractical candidates.

“[Barack Obama's] speech — delivered to a cross-section of the supportive, the skeptical and the plain curious — broke the pattern of condescension that has defined so many of these events in the past.”

Has political pandering to Cuban Americans become so commonplace that engaged discourse is actually astounding?

Astronomers have found a cloud of alcohol in deep space that measures 288 billion miles across.

In other news, Ted Kennedy is NASA’s newest and biggest supporter.

Can someone that smokes be pro-life?

They believe a fetus is living and want to protect it at all costs, but after it’s born, they support shortening that life?

Interesting.

I cannot take anymore of Bush’s bullshit. Yes, I should be more eloquent. I should choose my words more carefully so that I might reach more of you “in the back” as opposed to screaming at the converted. However, the bile in my gut simply allows me to do nothing but scream at the lying insanity of the Bush administration.

With Bush being caught lying again, this time about the levees in New Orleans, it’s good news that Lewis H. Lapham is finally calling for his impeachment in this month’s “Harper’s.” Sure, others online have been saying this for a while, but this is the first more or less mainstream publication to come out and scream for his dismissal.

We tried to impeach Clinton for getting a blowjob and not wanting to tell us about it, but here we have a president who has lied about WMD, terrorism, war, natural disasters, shootings, and who knows what else. He simply cannot be trusted. He is ruining this country. It will take us decades to fix the devastation he has wrought to our place in the geopolitical schema.

We have given full control of our country to a megalomaniacal dumbass who doesn’t even have the charisma to pull off a wedding toast. This man and those around him are poison.
