Former Secretaries Of State: Scrap War Powers Resolution

Lovely pile of bipartisan horsecrap. Oh yes, the time to rein in presidential powers is...when a Democrat is poised to win the White House!! Where was this marvelous idea when Attila the Chimp was unilaterally deciding to stomp through the Middle East?

While they're at it, maybe Baker and Christopher can bust a move on doing away with presidential signing statements that undermine the intent of laws. And secret energy task forces. And...oh forget it. posted 07/08/2008 at 14:44:22

Seven Things Barack Obama Should Do to Keep from Blowing It

Hey Arianna--good post.

However, if no one has corrected it yet, your attribution is inaccurate. You said:
7) Heed the old Texas advice of Dandy Don Meredith and Molly Ivins: "You got to dance with them what brung you."

"Dance with who brung you" was a favorite expression of legendary University of Texas coach Darrell Royal, and in turn came from a 20s song. Molly Ivins cribbed it later. See http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/texas/entry/dance_with_the_one_who_brung_you_darrell_royal/

As for Dandy Don Meredith, he had an even more apropos quote for BO to remember: "Life's heaviest burden is great potential." Usually, Meredith would say this after an otherwise talented receiver had dropped an easy pass...or an overwhelming nomination. posted 07/03/2008 at 13:08:00

The 100 Years War

Bingo, Bill! You have seen the light! And yes, it IS a freight train...sponsored by Halliburton.

If you would like the entire neocon game plan laid out for you (of which Iraq is merely one play in an already 50-year-long debacle of destruction and death), PLEASE read Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine." And I would love to see Ms. Klein on your Real Time panel, debating the heaviest-hitting Repubelican you can muster; I dare say, she'd take him off at the knees, and expose our empire-building in a clear, rational light.

Thanks for all you do to make Americans think, Bill, and welcome to the "Oh my God--THAT'S what they're doing!" club. posted 03/21/2008 at 14:42:06
