Cheney and Rumsfeld Rewrite History
As the war in Afghanistan moves forward under the leadership of Barack Obama, the American public heard from a couple of the military geniuses who got us in this mess to begin with.

Obama’s Afghanistan Gamble
Obama, after months of deliberation, has finally announced his new Afghanistan policy. He will send 30,000 more troops to the region and impose a timeline of around 18 months to accomplish the seemingly impossible. Watching him on that stage at West Point, you could feel the strain of having to make this very difficult... »
The Public Option Lives – For Now
For weeks now, nearly every political pundit on TV has at one time or another declared the public option dead.

The White House Calls A Foul On FOX Fantasy News

Nobel Peace Prize: Something For Nothing?

Maria Bartiromo Fails To Explain Her Mistake
A quick update on the earlier Maria Bartiromo debacle where she seemed to not know that a person had to be 65 before they could go on Medicare. Today on Morning Joe, she made the claim that she hadn’t been talking about Medicare at all when she made her remarks. Instead, she was trying... »
Voodoo Economics: The Final Report Card On Bush’s Epic Failure

Mr. TeaBag Goes To Washington
Glenn Beck and the Tea Party movement had their big shindig in Washington D.C. yesterday. Reports vary, but the crowd size is estimated to have been a respectable 30-70,000.
