Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Price winner and former first minister of Northern Ireland scoffs at the suggestion that Hillary had anything to do with bringing peace to the region according to an article in the Telegraph.

Why is "toughness" a virtue? Is it tough when we are attacked to ignore the country of the attackers and attack a country that was not involved? Is it tough to hold no one in your administration accountable for incompetence that is destroying our military capability , ignoring our cities and threats to our environment, all the while punishing this country's workers at the expense of annointed few?

"At issue is whether Obama mishandled a question about how he would respond if two American cities were attacked by terrorists: Did he fail to demonstrate the toughness and resolve that voters want in a president or was his answer a careful and comprehensive checklist for any potential president dealing with an international crisis?"

Do we need to be concerned about Google gooing to bed with Republicans? Will they offer more than simply $$$? While the blogosphere has incredible research capabilities, I am afraid that Google's as yet untapped resources could offer an incredible advantage to the opposition party.

We can only hope that Fitzgerald's indictment will make Rove a short-timer in his new role before being frog-marched out of the White House.

How will a new Democratic congress set priorities? Will they be able to effectively reverse much of the damage and abusive legislation that Bush has foisted on us or will they focus and bog down investigating Bush's crimes? Will we win in 2006, and fail to deliver in time for the public to support the Dems in 2008? Is 2 years sufficient to regain the public's trust?

...."testimony suggests that President Bush's political advisor may not have been the original source of the Valerie Plame leak. Rove testified that he first learned about Plame from columnist Robert Novak. Dana Bash reports"  Then a whispered voice says on air! "THAT's BULLSHIT"

WOW, someone at CNN knows the truth.

Clark's response to Hannity was very effective. "I'm not going to condemn Durbin."

Please join me for an inspiring evening with Congressman John Lewis, one of the most courageous persons the Civil Rights Movement ever produced.

Georgia Veterans for Kerry & Emory Law Young Democrats

In 1944, Thurgood Marshall won a major victory in the landmark Smith v. Allwright case, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the "lily-white" Democratic Party primary was unconstitutional. Harry Moore immediately organized the Progressive Voters' League, and in the next six years, due primarily to his leadership, over 116,000 black voters were registered in the Florida Democratic Party. This represented 31 percent of all eligible black voters in the state, a figure that was 51% higher than any other southern state.

In June 1946, Moore paid a terrible price for his political activism, as he and Harriette were both fired from their teaching jobs.

On Christmas Day 1951, Moore himself was killed when a bomb was placed beneath the floor joists directly under his bed. Moore died on the way to the hospital; his wife, Harriette, died nine days later.

Teddy Roosevelt said, "Speak softly, and carry a big stick."  There appears to be needless confusion surrounding John Kerry's votes on Iraq. If one researchs the two different bills and Kerry's votes, you will find both votes totally consistent with his views. Kerry initially voted to authorize President Bush to "carry a big stick."  When it became clear that Bush forgot the part about "speaking softly" and that Bush planned to use that stick no matter what the outcome of the diplomatic efforts, Kerry wisely voted against Bush's Iraq war.

George Bush has been right on everything, but he has been wrong on everything as well. He has been wrong on the war, wrong on the economy, wrong on the environment, wrong on education, and AWOL when it comes to improving access to healthcare. It is time for progessive leadership that can lead us in a new direction.

Bush, the "War President" isn't an effective leader - he only plays one on TV.

Maybe another approach would be, "No, I'm not really a War President, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

"No longer is it just the fear of being attacked by international terrorist organizations -- attacks against Americans and American interests overseas. A lot of these groups now have the capability and the support infrastructure in the United States to attack us here if they choose to do so."
-- John P. O'Neill, 1996

Until he resigned in August of 2001, John O'Neill was the director of counterterrorism for the FBI's New York office, not far from the WTC. O'Neill investigated the bombings of the World Trade Centre in 1993, a US base in Saudi Arabia in 1996, the US embassies in Nairobi and Dar-Es-Salaam in 1998, and the USS Cole.
