Global warming "doesn't seem proven" to charlatans like Wallace, who artfully twist the concepts of science and religion. Last Sunday, he said science usually welcomes opposing views. Not quite.
Liz, for one, would never endanger America by treating an important world leader and key global ally with respect and deference. And you know who else wouldn't? Dick, that's who!
We have yet to hear any pitch from Palin's supporters that elevates her above any other Republican in the current field of candidates. She's famous. And. Hmm. She's famous. That's it.
Recently I have been in touch with Binyam Mohamed, who was released from Guantánamo in February -- after seven years' captivity without charges.
Yesterday's announcement by acclaimed musicians that they were signing onto our National Campaign to Close Guantanamo Bay generated a harsh response from Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol.
We've seen the rush to war before -- in Iraq in 2003. That cost me 4,351 (and counting) of my fellow brothers and sisters-in-arms, all for a false threat the Bush Administration sold.
Obama and his team (and an increasing number of voices on Capitol Hill) know that, in today's world, security problems are beyond the purview of the military acting alone.
The vitriol against Obama's peace prize and "those Norwegians" who gave it to him is much deeper than the president's lack of achievements thus far; it is based on a fundamental clash of worldviews.
Why was the GOP so elated with Chicago's Olympic failure? Was it the joy in avoiding the inevitable cost overruns? The security concerns? Or was it enough that Obama had failed?
We should all be damned if we allow a group of cowards to cheerlead other peoples' children to their deaths or permanent injuries again without first putting themselves in the thick of battle.
If the president was looking for a signal that the situation had progressed to a stage in which the military could not offer a credible plan to deal with it, this is it.
Former banker Ken Morris will donate $100,000 to veterans' charities for a dinner with Sarah Palin and guests, on-the-record and taped so as to minimize misrepresentations.
A lot of people buy in to Brooks' pseudo-intellectual shtick for making grand pronouncements that presume to define reality.
The New York Times recently reported that the Obama administration is heeding a list of six lessons from previous efforts to reform health care. Unfortunately, the three most crucial lessons were left off the list.
What are they going to do about Afghanistan? And how much time do they have left to do it? I figure a month.
The sad reality is that the current town-hall screamers are being embraced by Republicans not as champions of free speech, but rather as cannon fodder in their fight to block any bill.
There are actual facilities where right wingers can go to practice and hone their yelling and disrupting skills. We have obtained footage from one such facility. Take a look.
The nation's health and the health of the economy will rest not on the needs of the American people, but on conservatives' own selfish desire to see Obama fail.
Why not create a new national mission, on the scale of the mission to the Moon? We'll need to study, identify, and reduce the use of unneeded and harmful medical procedures within ten years.
Not only do the various plans now being considered fail to "bend the curve" of health care spending downward, every one of the plans would send the curve still higher.
We are either going to get no health care reform or watered-down health care legislation that acts as a bandage, helping some people but ignoring the larger problem creating the pain.
