Yep, Bush lied us into a war and he's probably going to have an aircraft carrier named after him.
"Meanwhile, on the Republican side, yesterday John McCain visited President
George W. Bush to be passed the torch, a torch that the president most likely
broke and crazy glued back together hoping no one would notice." --Jon
Stewart

How the press failed on Iraq
A hard look back at the past five years -- with all its death and destruction and missteps -- reveals that the American media has been sleepwalking through the war. Stephen Colbert's routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2006 was celebrated or lamented for his pointed barbs at the president while Bush sat just a few feet away. What many may forget, however, is that his critique of the press was just as biting -- and widely resented by many of the journalists in attendance.
McCain says he hopes Bush will find some time in his busy schedule to campaign for him. Busy schedule? Um, did you see what he was doing right before you got there? [on screen: Bush tap dancing] See you on the campaign trail, boys!" --Jon Stewart
Disturbing News
"Among the people rumored to be a possibility for John McCain's vice-presidential running mate is 51-year-old Florida Governor Charlie Crist and surprisingly not his brother, Jesus Crist" --Seth Meyers
Blackwater Update

Obama Drops VP Bomb and Photograph Leak
"I don't know how somebody who is in second place is offering the vice presidency to the person who is first place," Obama said, drawing cheers and a lengthy standing ovation from about 1,700 people. He added: "I am not running for vice president. "I am running for president of the United States of America."...He accused Clinton's campaign of leaking a photograph of him wearing traditional African garments, including a turban, during a visit to Africa. That was "straight out of the Republican playbook," Obama said. "That's not real change."

Lisa,
I agree with you about Hillary and Obama...softball politics...whoever the Dem nominee is, they're going to have to face 100x the accusations/smears/Drudge! The Dems need a fighter in the White House.
Here's 50 bucks. I've been enjoying your informative and very funny site for years and was just too lazy to donate, I guess. I'd hate to see you go offline. There's nothing like you out there in webworld.
You have put your money and time into recording the past eight years. Thank you.

Thank you, Stan. I appreciate your kind words.
I received $110 in donations since yesterday. I need seven more days like that to break even for the first quarter of 2008. Finger crossed!
I've been fighting the right on this site for almost eight years and I'd hate to see it end, too.
