    The Cleanest Congress in History?

    This is a very important piece of legislation to me, and one that I am holding the democrats responsible for. I think this legislation would definitely take affirmative steps to meeting the complaints of the American people and rewarding them for their trust in the past election. Hopefully they...

    We are getting screwed, while some are reaping the profits

    I'll tell you one thing...I think it's time somebody spent some serious time examining the refinery situation of U.S. and other countries. Now, citizens are being told the new reason why gas prices are so high is because refiners are not keeping up with demand and are producing at something like...

    What did you guys think about the Tenet interview?

    That was interesting, if nothing else. I'm sure liberals will latch on to some key statements he made (I certainly did), and conservatives will dismiss him as being at fault as much as possible. One thing is for sure, he gave a passionate interview, and stood up for himself and his people, good...

    Despair stalks Baghdad as plan falters

    Heading off the expected spin...I take absolutely zero pleasure in reading and posting this, no revelry here...disgust and frustration would be the accurate moods to accuse me of. ----------------------------------------------- Despair stalks Baghdad as plan falters By Andrew North BBC News...

    Imagine

    With all the negative stuff going on of late, I heard this song the other day and it really hit me hard. The more time goes by, the more perfect this song is. Just thought I'd post it for those that need a break from the crap we have to deal with on a daily basis. I think others have posted this...

    Amid crumbling security, Pentagon likely to extend surge

    After thinking on Weasel's suggestion that it's important to let the military leaders make war decisions, and give the surge a chance to work...I came across this story which directly addresses those two points in interesting ways. Notice here that American military leaders suggest unless the...

    Cam'ron: Snitching Hurts "Code Of Ethics"

    Believe it came up in this forum and elsewhere that CBS should also focus on the rap lyrics and behavior to affect change during the Imus discussions. Looks like they might be doing some of that tomorrow night on 60 Minutes. -------------------------------- Cam'ron: Snitching Hurts "Code Of...

    RNC lawyer admits at least four years of Rove emails missing

    Once again, we are asked to just believe Carl Rove and the republican administration when it comes to secrecy. FOUR YEARS of e-mails missing...what a sad joke on the American people. Probably nothing in four years of White House business e-mails sent from special RNC committee addresses that...

    The IRS Owes You Money

    Links between Iraq & Bin-Laden? How about BUSH and Bin Laden?

    Some pretty interesting links here, which could shed some light on our "dedicated allies" Saudi Arabia and The United Arab Emirates, not to mention, our credibility when discussing ties with "terrorists." Maybe Cheney should be as interested in these links compared to the Bin-Laden/Iraq links...

    American Idol Round of Nine

    Have been looking for BDB to start our weekly thread, but thought I would get it rolling. It's evidently Tony Bennett week, and I can't imagine I'm going to enjoy it that much. If anything, Mangina can probably sing a Tony Bennett song, for crissakes. Trying to imagine Blake beat-boxing to "I...

    Bush, Iran & Selective Outrage

    Bush, Iran & Selective Outrage By Robert Parry April 2, 2007 One of the least endearing features of Washington?s political/media hierarchy is its propensity for selective outrage, like what is now coming from George W. Bush about the ?inexcusable behavior? of the Iranian government in holding...

    Championship Pick

    I just simply do not see how the key freshman cogs of the Buckeyes can overcome the talent, togetherness and variety of the Gators at the end of the night. I agree with the assessment that despite the Big 10 dominance of the overall rankings with OSU and Wisky, the Big 10 was not up to par this...

    Reid co-sponsors bill to redeploy troops from Iraq and cut off funding for war

    Have always agreed with Feingold on this issue, and now Reid, at least, is prepared to stand tall against the Bush veto and gamesmanship. I love the angle of the Somalia stand the Republicans took, which is a tough corner to be put in when criticizing the dems stance. As a democrat supporter...

    DTB's Favorite Ally slams illegal occupation of Iraq

    Still think the Saudi's should be commended for being such a close ally, Wayne? I guess it all depends on the argument of the day, doesn't it? Or, maybe, the Saudi's are seeing through King George's party line, too? ------------------------------ Saudi king slams 'illegitimate occupation' of...

    Bush to veto funding of troops

    Interesting. I remember when the democrats voted against the funding of troops, for understandable reasons...and they were roundly criticized for aiding the enemy, supporting the terrorists, and not supporting our troops. Now they vote to fund the troops, and Bush is going to veto it for...
