Democracy Now! | Headlines for June 16, 2008: Jul 1, 10:44am 2 reviews politics, oil, fundraiser, election-2008, mccain •http://www.democracynow.org/2008/6/16...; From the page: "McCain has postponed a fundraiser scheduled for today at the home of Texas oilman Clayton Williams. In 1990 Williams made headlines when he compared rape to bad weather. Williams said, "As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it." Williams has reportedly raised $300,000 for McCais campaign."~~~~~~~It's inevitable if this idiot is elected and I sure as hell can't stand the idea of laying back and enjoying it. Just another Bush with a different name and older and more senile than the perilunatic sociopath we have in office now.

I think I saw this in one of my dreams sometime ago!

Whats One Less Species Between Friends? - Environment and Energy: Jun 27, 9:35am 2 reviews animals, environment, extinction •http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/enviro...; From the Page: "A poll by the American Museum of Natural History finds that 7 in 10 biologists believe that mass extinction poses a colossal threat to human existence, a more serious environmental problem than even its contributor, global warming, and that the dangers of mass extinction are woefully underestimated by most everyone outside of science."

~~~~~And we thought all we had to worry about were the animals, you know - the old "well everything has to go sometime" routine. Well, wake up folks, it's our own species too that's subject to officially being placed on the government's list of " extinct species," if anyone is around to write it!

Robert L. Borosage: Time for a Grand Inquest into Bushs High Crimes - Politics …: Jun 26, 11:38am 4 reviews politics, congress, opinion, pelosi, high-crimes •http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-...; From the page: "We have witnessed a staggering abuse of power by this president. Even former Bush Justice Department officials now charge President Bush with trampling the Constitution. Bush has claimed the prerogative to declare an endless war without congressional approval, to designate someone an enemy without cause, to proceed to wiretap them without warrant, arrest or kidnap them at will, jail them without a hearing, hold them indefinitely, interrogate them intensively (read torture), bring them to trial outside the US court system. He claims that executive privilege exempts his aides -- even the aides of his aides and his vice president's aides -- from congressional investigation. He claims the right to amend or negate congressional laws with a statement upon signing them. And much more. "~~~~~~~~~~My fondest dream is for the handcuffs to be wrapped around his pudgy little wrists and an Interpol Police escort awaiting him from Obama's inauguration!!

Really, Senator, you cannot imagine why your top advisor would follow in the footsteps of Karl Rove, who made scaring the bejesus out of the American people the centerpiece of GOP strategy for the last six years?"~~~~~~~Why am I not surprised?!

VP speculation swirls around Sen. Biden | delmarvanow.com | The Daily Times: Jun 22, 5:12pm 1 review politics, opinion, obama, election-2008, joe-biden •http://www.delmarvanow.com/apps/pbcs....; From the page: ""He was good in the clinches" and able to do the political give-and-take with an enthusiasm that cast him as a "happy warrior," said David Wilhelm, a senior adviser on Biden's 2008 presidential campaign and his Iowa campaign manager during his 1988 presidential run.

"I don't think it's surprising at all that he is getting this kind of speculation and attention," said Wilhelm, a former Democratic National Comm-ttee chairman who is now an informal Obama adviser but hasn't been involved in selecting a running mate. "I think he's one of the rare candidates who seems to have benefited from a losing race."" ~~~~~~~ Now, That's what I like to see!!

The New York Times & Log In: Jun 21, 5:15pm 2 reviews politics, media, election-2008, joe-biden •http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/opi...; From the page: "What's more, the news media cut candidates like Joe Biden out of the process even before they got started. Just to be clear: I'm not talking about my husband. I'm referring to other worthy Democratic contenders. Few people even had the chance to find out about Joe Biden's health care plan before he was literally forced from the race by the news blackout that depressed his poll numbers, which in turn depressed his fund-raising. " ~~~~~~~~ This is from Elizabeth Edwards, John Edward's wife. I, and other Joe Biden supporters, knew this all along and that's why we are so pissed with the media.
