While times are tough for most Americans, one group is doing remarkably well. For former members of the Bush administration, the economic outlook remains bright and jobs are seemingly plentiful.
It was Lenin, after all, who almost 100 years ago stated what has become the mantra of the angry Right and the deluded media nearly a century later: A lie told often enough becomes the truth.
11. Know that electing Democrats into office is the only way to restore to this democracy some sort of sanity.
Republicans and their war bankrupted us and put us in harm's way. Now those same Republicans are helping Rush Limbaugh get his wish by making Obama and America fail.
The photographs taken at the site of the Hudson crash may be the best proof yet that citizen journalism is not only essential, but is here to stay.

But what if the answer to publishers' problems lies not in finding the right book to publish but in finding the right book not to publish?
Palin is one-person reiteration of everything from "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" (early round dismissal?) up through and including "Survivor."
Winners: The Davids - Axelrod and Plouffe: they spearheaded a near flawless campaign. Katie Couric: her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was the turning point in how the country saw Palin -- and by extension John McCain. And she did it in a way that left no room for accusations of being unfair or playing "Gotcha!" Michelle Obama: smarts, grace, style, charm, and a serious "good mommy" vibe -- she's got the whole package. Losers: Joe Lieberman: failed to deliver Democrats, independents, or Jews. And on the way to losing his committee chairmanships. Liddy Dole: her "Godless" ad will be taught in What Not To Do poli sci classes for a century. Joe the Plumber: the clock just hit 15 minutes, and the wakeup call will not be pleasant.
I'm very happy for her. Thrilled for her, in fact. But, mostly, I don't care. It doesn't change my life one bit. Not at all. And that's exactly how it should be.
As if I needed one more reason to loathe Sarah Palin, here's another: she likened the Republican presidential ticket to the Tampa Bay Rays.
On Friday night, Sarah Palin appeared on television as part of her interview series with Charles Gibson. I finally sat down to watch this woman,...
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.
While Rick Warren is an improvement over Focus on the Family's James Dobson, he must teach evangelicals there is a better way than the selfishness of modern conservatism.
Obama should convince the American public that he's not setting up a zero sum game between Muslims on one side and Christians and Jews on the other.
It seemed that most of the clearly biased shows on cable news had been publicly outed as such, but viewers learned there was yet another conservative Republican show:Election Center with Campbell Brown.
The last person I'd expect as the antagonist of a parable is a harried modern comedian -- yet it's just that hero whom Deepak Chopra gives us in his wonderful new book, Why is God Laughing?

Everything out of Bush's mouth concerning oil drilling, oil prices, oil anything should be treated as what it is, a message from the oil companies.
James Baker has joined his nemesis in recommending a stunning new piece of federal legislation -- a law designed to rein in future presidents who want to go to war half-cocked.
Unlike McCain, who keeps recycling President Bush's bravado of catching "Bin Laden dead or alive," Obama, to his credit, has articulated his Afghanistan strategy more clearly.

Cheney's actions and political decisions had absolutely nothing to do with making America safer. They had more to do with making America more powerful, but mostly they had to do with making a small subset of Americans richer and more powerful by any means necessary.
Cheney had once said that the only mistake that Nixon made was allowing his people to get caught. That pretty much sums up his Machiavellian mindset.
We need to find a reliable candidate for 2012, say Sarah Palin. She'll put in the long hours and never give up.....
The only executive privilege that I recognize is the fact that anyone in the executive branch is privileged to serve the people...
Nobody from the Bush administration will ever be held to account for anything (No matter how much evidence exists.). The ruling class in America stands outside of the US Constitution. Let's face it, only people of money and/or family influence will ever be elected to high office. Presidents and Vice Presidents aren't directly elected by US citizens. They are installed by state selected electors (Electors are under no obligation to vote with the popular vote.). The constitution, until amended, is designed to keep the highest office in the US out of the hands of the common man or woman.
Republicans = weak
Democrats = unable to capitalize on weak.
