Forget The Left. And f*ck The Right. It’s Time to Move Beyond The Two-Wing Spectrum.

News of Gen. Petraeus’ directive for secret Pentagon operations would be a huge revelation if history didn’t indicate that departments handling foreign and domestic defense or security operations have claimed the authority to engage in covert activity time and time again. From the Bush Administration to the Kennedy Administration, covert operations have been standard operating procedure, so long as those in power can get away with it.

In Obama’s weekly radio address on Saturday, May 22nd, Obama selected former Sen. Bob Graham & former head of the EPA William K. Reilly to head a commission to investigate the BP oil disaster. Both have good beltway environmental credentials. They also both consider nuclear energy to be part of the solution to getting off dirty carbon energy that is contributing significantly to climate change.

We have seen, to our horror, what happens when a White House politicizes purely legal decisions or allows politics into decisions making processes that are solely the purview of law. Government lawyers from every agency are all working for an administration that either believes in the Rule of Law or it does not. And every one of you has a stake in the ethics and integrity of the legal decisions made by this administration.
Maybe it’s time for a Comey style mass resignation plan.

Palin cashed in, Scott brown is in process, and Joe Wilson turned a profit. I really wish Obama would say screw this.

Cheney continues to wrap himself in dishonor.

Is Our Dick going Soft? Jon Stewart Hammers Dick Cheney.

Just landed on a guest post at The Washington Note that anyone interested in better understanding how Cheney pulled off his institutionalized theft should read.
