Song: What I Got

Okay, this is a total nonstory, but I thought I’d at least mention it. As you probably have heard by now, a group of hispanic artists have recorded a translated version of the national anthem into Spanish. Who cares? Well, some right-wingers are really angry that anyone has the audacity to sing the American national […]
The United States does not negotiate with terrorists. But apparently Iraq negotiates with insurgents. We’ll see who has better luck.
Oh man, this is so surreal. A bipartisan Senate comittee comes out with a report that says FEMA ought to be disbanded, and the President’s reaction?
President Bush on Friday rejected the idea of killing FEMA.
“The lessons of Katrina are important,’’ Bush said. “We’ve learned a lot here at the federal level. We’re much more ready […]
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, video-star.
Seriously though, it’d be interesting to see a study or a documentary done on the impact of technology on terrorist networks. How information circulates, how messages get shaped, etc etc etc, how these video productions and distribution of them has gotten more sophisticated over the years.
Apparently, the bigwigs over on Wall Street are seriously concerned about oil prices going above $100 per barrel later this year, major factors seen are what happens in Iran and Iraq, as well as potential hurricanes in the gulf coast and Mexico, effecting oil drilling in the area this summer.

Well, this is sick. Newsweek reports:

This just in: new White House Chieff of Staff Josh Bolton’s true identity is….
It’s time for the White House to go on offense and “get our mojo back.” Josh Bolten said Sunday in his first interview since taking over as the president’s chief of staff.
Okay, you can guess where I’m going with this… I wonder […]
ThinkProgress has the scoop, and the video. Powell said in a recent interview:
…I don’t think we had enough force there at that time to impose order. That’s what we were responsible for, because when you have taken out a government, a regime, then you become responsible for the country.

POWELL: I made the case to General […]
Staunch Bush ally billionaire Silvio Berlusconi of Italy has now given up and surrendered his post as Prime Minister to liberal challenger Romano Prodi. The election was close, but Burlusconi has now given up, after it’s become more and more evident that Prodi won. Burlusconi was desperate to win re-election, so much so that he […]
Lede paragraph of a Boston Globe story today:
President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.
Among the laws Bush said he can ignore […]
Saturday night was the night of the annual White House Press Correspondents Dinner, and Stephen Colbert (of Comedy Central fame) closed the night. Standing feet away from the President, he railed on the Prez with his sarcastic mock-conservative humor. The President reportedly wasn’t amused in the slightest, but the audience (made up mostly of press, […]
Apparently, Russia is (to the indignation of the White House) going to sell Iran 29 ‘sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles.’ And a prominent Russian diplomat is saying what pretty much already is the official Russian talking point– that sanctions against Iran would be illegal.
We’ll see what happens with regard to Russia’s relations with the United States, but […]
