Check out this piece from former Labor Secretary Robert Riech, which reads in part:
Nearly all of the increase in public debt over the last four years — some 1 trillion dollars — has been financed by foreigners, lending us the money. But who wants to lend more and more to a drunken sailor? Foreigners are [...]

Timothy Garton Ash, writing from San Francisco yesterday, had this to say, among other things, about liberals after the election:
“I ‘m getting seriously worried about anti-Americanism. Anti-Americanism in America, that is. Here are just a few of the things that I’ve heard travelling through blue, ie liberal, America over the two weeks since George Bush [...]

In Tuesday’s Star columnist Thomas Walkom asks whether Bush should be welcomed to Ottawa or banned, citing Canada’s Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes Act. Would Canada, or any country, risk indiciting an ex-American president for war crimes, especially after Belgium’s weak attempt to that?

I’m not really going to feel a whole lot better about the election until we finally boot G.W. out of office (looking toward 2008 already). Maybe I can just take a nap for the next four years…a really long nap. But, these websites do give me some hope. 49% of America is apologizing in advance [...]

This is a snip from Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz’s column:
All of which brings us to the question–what happens to Kerry now?
Does he become the party’s leading spokesman in the Senate, overshadowing little-known minority leader Harry Reid? Does he start some sort of America’s Future group and raise truckloads of cash from his donor [...]

This was huge before the election but I think the idea can live on especially to continue the great political dialog that has enveloped this country.
Check it out and can the Republicans please contribute something.
Lets make sure we all do and build on the past to make a better and more creative future.

Bitter and sweet: it seems to be the calling card for the month of november.
We have Alberto Gonzalez as the appointment to Ashcroft’s seat.
Yeah!!! = First Hispanic in 80 postings
Boo!!! = Wrong Hispanic (His term as White House counsel is not without controversy, as he fought with Congress to keep the details of Vice President [...]

Your Values?
There’s been a lot of talk about values — but what do you hold close to your heart? Your religion, your family, democracy, helping others, etc. I’d love to hear what you have to say about this topic — and perhaps pull together your comments for an [...]

I got an e-mail from ImpeachBush.org today. They made the points that we’ve all been making. What do you think folks? Do you think enough of us are mad enough to give it a go?
Personally, I’m all for another march on Washington . . . during the inauguration. Now wouldn’t that be the hotness?! All [...]

Check out this sobering chart on the well over $1 billion spent on congressional and presidential campaigns. Meanwhile, check out the other charts referenced on the left, like top individual contributors to 527s…. on the left, financier George Soros is over $23 mil lighter; on the right, oilman and corporate raider T. Boone Pickens is [...]

KERRY TO UNCONCEDE IF THERE IS EVIDENCE OF FRAUD
EMAIL FROM DC LAWYER CYNTHIA BUTLER
I am angry and getting emails and recrimination from people wondering why KERRY just caved and is not fighting this before the final count in Ohio, before any of the fraud was challenged, before New Mexico and Iowa [...]

Attorney Gen. John Ashcroft and Secretary of Commerce Don Evans resign
Rejoice : a win for the good side or calm before the storm —– discuss

In politics, Jesus has evolved from being a niche market to being THE market. Somehow I don’t think he’s all that impressed. After all, he’s been much more than that to quite a lot of us for about 2,000 years now.
To the youth vote, I don’t know what to say. You had your chance? [...]

And I quote:
“Once the minority of House and Senate are comfortable in their minority status, they will have no problem socializing with the Republicans. Any farmer will tell you that certain animals run around and are unpleasant, but when they’ve been fixed, then they are happy and sedate.”

Hope is on the way?
Grief, disgust, despair, and utter disappointment.
Not disappointment in Kerry, Bush or the GOP, but rather American Democracy in 2004. I can’t help but have a feeling of a Democracy that has failed me. I firmly believe that American Democracy is only [...]
