Obama Would "Immediately Review" Potential Of Crimes In Bush White House - Politics on The Huffington Post

Obama Would "Immediately Review" Potential Of Crimes In Bush White House - Politics on The Huffington Post

Ah...breathe it in. I love the smell of justice in the morning.

Dream with me, won't you? Dream of a future where the potential of criminal prosecution helps deter powerful elected officials from abusing their authority.

Dream of a day when government of the people, by the people, is accountable to the people.

Dream of a land where Republicans & Democrats and Independents and all those betwixt and between them agree that corruption isn't acceptable, even when admitting this means sharing some of the responsibility for allowing and/or encouraging the corruption in the first place.

Imagine all the people...regaining faith in a system that encourages, perhaps even rewards (or at the VERY least, does not penalize) Fair Play.

The Washington Times is pure evil

The Washington Times = "Rev." Moon = STOP EATING SUSHI!!

Lord, this is disgusting.
The graft, the quid pro quo-ing, the mainstreaming of a psychotic cult leader by the radical right wing.

I may never eat sushi again.

The Human Condition


Baby's first pear...
(I just found it worth sharing. It tickled me. What? I'm working on actual content of my own, give me a break. If I don't read every blog in creation instead of actually writing stuff of my own, who will?)

For thems that's interested...a pic of me back when I liked beer:

Shout into that credibility gap & hear the echo

Former President of Chicago NOW, Lorna Brett Howard (a very compelling speaker, by the way) on why she switched from supporting Hillary to supporting Obama:

In Iowa, Hillary Clinton was telling people at pro-choice rallies, young women, that Barack Obama was weak on choice when he was a state senator, which is patently false. I was the president of Chicago NOW at the time and I worked closely with him. He had a 100% voting record and 100% with NARAL and Planned Parenthood.

I stayed with Hillary Clinton through that...but a friend forwarded me a piece of direct mail... It attacked Barack Obama on choice and it enraged me.

I'm supporting Barack Obama for president now because not only is he 100% pro-choice, he's 100% honest.
And this line of attack on an issue I care about so deeply is not acceptable to me
.


(In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that the reason I initially watched this clip is that I thought Lorna was Julia Roberts. I'm still not convinced she isn't.)
