Wouldn’t it be nice…

February 11th, 2004 · No Comments

President Bush states, I’m a war president….I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign-policy matters with war on my mind. Wouldn’t it be nice if he made decisions in foreign-policy matters — heck, wouldn’t it be nice if he made decisions regarding domestic matters! — with the American people on his mind?

The War President

February 9th, 2004 · 1 Comment

So right does President Bush feel the war on Iraq was — even though his reasons for sending your kids there keeps changing — that he is quietly working to reinstate the draft. Of course, he has no plans to fire it up until after the election.

With So Many Parties, Why No Joy?

February 7th, 2004 · No Comments

The reality, of course, is that Americans don’t want all those parties; we only want two choices. Exactly why is something I don’t quite understand, unless it’s simply the ease of decision-making.

February 3rd, 2004 · 1 Comment

California’s budgetary crisis is so bad that even though we constantly complain about how clogged the courts are, indicating a need for a bigger court budget, the Governator has proposed to cut $70 million from the budget for California’s judiciary. Now there’s a novel idea that few kill-’em-or-at-least-lock-’em-up-and-throw-away-the-key Republicans have thought of until now: If […]

Stoop Low, Sweet Chariot

February 2nd, 2004 · No Comments
