It's easy to lose perspective on just how much damage the Bush-Cheney years have caused to fundamental American institutions–including, of course the rule of law.  Someone coined the term "scandal fatigue", and I think it helps explain how this tortured detainee or that violation of criminal law gets lost in an avalanche of wrongdoing and incompetence–from Katrina to the fired US Att

y Noam Chomsky, Khaleej Times Online. Posted July 12, 2008. U.S. war planners want an obedient client state that will house major U.S. military bases, right at the heart of the world's major energy reserves. The deal just taking shape between Iraq's Oil Ministry and four Western oil companies raises critical questions about the nature of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq -- questions

(Washington D.C.) Many would accuse Vice President Dick Cheney of not caring about the normal American and their struggles to cope with rising energy prices. “That couldn’t be further from the truth,” said Vice President Cheney. “The plight of the average American hurts me. The citizens of the greatest nation on Earth should not be paying 4 dollars a gallon for gas. The res

Dick Cheney was spotted riding through Washington D.C. on his way to his office. Mr Cheney was participating in the world naked bike ride day to highlight the affects of oil on the environment. When asked why Mr Bush wasn't joining him on the ride, Mr Cheney confirmed this was due to the fact he had just shaved his bush to make the ride a lot more enjoyable. (Surely Not. Ed)

Before Cheney became a political albatross, McCain overflowed with kind things to say about him. In fact, in July 2004, McCain described Cheney as one of the best vice presidents ever. Politico’s Jonathan Martin reports today that in unpublished comments to Hayes, McCain also said he would consider Cheney for a post in his administration.

Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, has loved history for as long as she can remember, and she has spent much of her professional life writing and speaking about the importance of knowing history and teaching it well.

Of course, Vice President Cheney quickly apologized for his inappropriate comment. At the time, he must have forgotten that there would be a Republican running for the office of President in November.

Mr. Cheney apparently feels that he is now free to mock and belittle the people of West Virginia. He was joking about his families history of incest when he said, "and we don't even live in West Virginia." With his trademark arrogance, the Vice President even added "You can say those things when you're not running for re-election." What the press has lost in this is that Cheney admitted his family

It's funny that the media buys into the idea that Barack Obama is an "elitist" because he may have gotten a low bowling score or made a misunderstood comment about voter sentiment but ignores the reality that Republican elitists positively drip with disdain for ordinary Americans.  That disdain is sometimes manifested in reverse Robin Hood policies that benefit the wealthy at the expense of e

I wonder what Pres. George W. Bush thinks about Oliver Stone actually making a movie about him while the pres. is still alive.

House tables Bush impeachment resolution CONCORD – The House debated, then declined to take a final vote yesterday on a resolution that called for impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. After 45 minutes of debate, the House tabled the resolution on a vote of 227-95. The resolution's author, Rep. Betty Hall, D-Brookline, said impeachment would uncover the facts behind secrets the Bush Administration has fought to protect. She said impeachment would bring out the truth about the decisions to wage the war in Iraq, use of the Justice Department for political purposes, details of domestic surveillance and the torture of prisoners. Hall, 87, drew support from both political parties during public hearings on the bill, but it emerged from a House commit

Vice President Dick Cheney has a new house guest at Number One Observatory Circle. Lucifer, otherwise known as Satan, Prince of Darkness, has moved in temporarily with the Vice President and his family."It is, hopefully, not a permanent situation," said the Vice President, "I"m just helping an old buddy out. With the climate changes going on, hell has frozen over, and he has no comfortable place to stay. I feel guilty about it. Maybe a few of our current policies led to the change, but you can't really tell.""Dick is really thoughtful to put me up like this," said Satan. "I remember how much fun we had flunking out of Yale together. Besides, he owes me big time for those five draft deferments I got him during the Viet Nam War."The association between Cheney and the Prince of Darkness h

Robert FoxRobert Fox writes for The Guardian that Vice President Dick Cheney was virtually ignored by Arab leaders on his last swing through the Middle East. In fact, there is an inclination by most Arab countries to establish stronger diplomatic relations with Russia in an effort to better deal with Iran's nuclear ambitions. It's old news that most Arab nations have shunned the Bush administration given its immense failures in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Palestinian territories. And it's old news that these countries have established stronger relations with India and China to further the Gulf countries' business goals. But the pursuit of diplomacy with Russia must have the Bush administration worried. It will be another headache for the next president to deal with after Jan. 20. Cheney Co

    La foto muestra a Dick Cheney, Vicepresidente de los EEUU, en una de sus salidas de “pesca” (aunque parece que no se trata de peces esta vez) y ya trascendió los medios más populares de USA (CNN, ABC News, Dataline NBC, entre otros).   Los vidrios parecen reflejar el cuerpo de una mujer desnuda. Sin embargo quienes sostienen la versión más light, aseguran que no hay tal dama, sino que la imagen reflejada en las gafas de Cheney correspondería a su mano aferrando la caña de pescar.

Vice President and Mrs. Cheney filed their federal income tax return for 2007 today.The income tax return shows that the Cheneys owe federal taxes for 2007 of $602,651 on taxable income of $2,528,068. During the course of 2007 the Cheneys paid $466,165 in taxes through withholding and estimated tax payments, and will pay the remaining $136,486 upon filing their tax return.The wage and salary income reported on the tax return includes the Vice President's $212,208 government salary. In addition, the tax return reports a pension benefit of $32,500, which the Vice President received as a former director of Union Pacific Corporation. The Vice President became eligible for this benefit in 2006 when he turned 65. The tax return also reports Mrs. Cheney's book royalty income, a salary from her co

Is Dick Cheney hanging out with Bill Clinton and his Harem?? Huh?Vice President Dick Cheney’s sunglasses are causing quite a stir this morning because some say there appears to be a naked woman in the reflection of his glasses. The story even provoked Cheney’s spokeswoman to respond saying, “Clearly the picture shows a hand casting a rod.” Here’s a better view. Do you really think it’s a naked woman? The situation got so out of hand, one investigative reporter used digital technology to enhance the photo. “In one lens of his sunglasses you can clearly tell it is a sleeved arm of Cheney or a fishing companion. The other lens has an extreme distortion that, without looking at it closely, could be misconstrued,” said investigative photo editor Bridges. via

For years, the right wing has complained about political correctness as the preserve of the left.  The "debate" about political correctness often descends into nonsense, and I don't think the term itself is very useful.  However, I find it interesting and revealing when the media uses euphemisms to make the Bush administration's conduct sound more benign than it actually is.  An example yesterday: the Associated Press refused to use precise words when describing recent news (not really "news" to most who have followed this) about high level Bush administration officials, including Vice President Cheney, approving the use of torture. The AP story blandly reported that "Cheney, Others Ok'd Harsh Interrogations."  A "harsh interrogation" sounds like someone on Law and Order using words

Is Dick Cheney watching hot nude amateur teen babes at the Snake River in Idaho?internet advertisingAccording to reports he was enjoying the day doing some fly fishing and not shooting any hunting buddies. Of course his sunglasses might tell a different story. A closer look at some pictures show a reflection that could be a naked woman and is causing quite a ripple on the net. Odds are the reflections is a hand or just something on the boat, but if his fishing partner is a naked woman I might have to start doing some fishing myself.

Back in the day, Ted Kennedy was piling-on Gerald Ford for his pardon of former President Richard Nixon. More recently, Kennedy was giving Ford a "Profile in Courage" Award for making the "correct" decision in the matter. Hoping to seize upon history's quirk, Vice-President Cheney said this in a recent interview:The president had to go up -- chose to go up before the Judiciary Committee of the House and testify in order to put down the rumors that somehow there had been a deal between he and President Nixon, that if he would pardon Nixon, then he would get to be president himself. I rode up there with him that day and sat in the hearing room while he answered all those questions. I know how much grief he took for that decision, and it may well have cost him the presidency in '76. Thirty ye

Vice President Dick Cheney with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.Associated Press photoThere is probably no person more unqualified to lead a Mideast peace push than Dick Cheney. His visit to Israel demonstrates his “unshakable” commitment to the defense of Israel, which is all fine, but he seems to treat the Palestinians as an afterthought. Oh, the US has “goodwill” toward the Palestinians, says Cheney, as if giving a tentative pat on the head to the red-headed stepchild at the family picnic. The vice president got a commitment on oil production from Saudi Arabia, but did he accomplish anything else of significance? The most pressing issue for the Saudis is dealing with the crisis in Gaza. But he leaves the Kingdom without any mention of discussing the issue with King Abdullah.

Dick Cheney is stubbornly consistent and still never lets actual facts get in his way. You have to give him that....Cheney, who spent the night at a sprawling U.S. base in the northern town of Balad, told soldiers they were defending future generations of Americans from a global terror threat."This long-term struggle became urgent on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 . That day we clearly saw that dangers can gather far from our own shores and find us right there at home," said Cheney, who was accompanied by his wife, Lynne, and their daughter, Elizabeth."So the United States made a decision: to hunt down the evil of terrorism and kill it where it grows, to hold the supporters of terror to account and to confront regimes that harbor terrorists and threaten the peace," Cheney said.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday declared the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq a "successful endeavor" in a visit to Iraq that was overshadowed by a suicide bombing that killed at least 25 people.

Today, Dick Cheney visited Iraq and declared the invasion a "successful endeavor". In related news, 25 people were killed in a suicide bombing there today, perhaps to mark that success, by a woman wearing a suicide bomb vest.I wonder if Cheney will feel a bit relieved by the beginning of next year when he doesn't have to keep this charade up. Of course, as long as companies like Haliburton profit from the war, then, to Cheney, the invasion was a success. Of course, it wasn't much of a success to the 4,000 soldiers and thousands of Iraqis killed.We are about to hit the 5-year mark (on Thursday) in this disaster of an occupation. You begin to wonder where everyone's outrage is, considering the expense of human life. Then again, I guess if the murder doesn't take place outside your front door

The state of Vermont did more than make winners of presidential candidates Barack Hussein Obama and John McCain on Tuesday.

Vice President Cheney pushed Congress to extend and broaden a soon to expire surveillance law, on Wensday. fighting the war on terror is a long-term enterprise that should not come with an expiration date. We're reminding Congress that they must act now, Cheney told the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. The law, which authorizes the administration to eavesdrop on phone calls and see the e-mail to and from suspected terrorists, expires on Feb. 1. Congress is bickering over terms of its extension. This cause is bigger than the quarrels of party and the agendas of politicians, Cheney said. And if we in Washington, all of us, can only see our way clear to work together, then the outcome should not be in doubt. Source: Yahoo News (;_ylt=AopDaSOycqFaanIl_p6ovvSs0NUE)

Spurned by major newspapers, Dem Congressman takes 'impeach Cheney' appeal to Web As the House Judiciary Committee continues to refuse any action on proposals to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney, three of that panel's members tried to take their case to influential op-ed pages of the nation's largest newspapers.

Robert Wexler (D-FL) on Friday launched a new Web site, WexlerWantsHearings.com to advance his call to impeach Cheney. The site hosts an op-ed article rejected by the nation's major newspapers and outlines the case for impeaching Cheney.

Perusing the web and came across this funny yet interesting clip of Dick Cheney discussing Iraq back in 1994 before this new war. Now we know how gung ho he has been with this current conflict, but listen to what he says about invading Iraq back in 1994. Quite interesting really.Just found it funny how a lot of the people in power will flip flop on any issue given the chance. I doubt there is even a honest person left in politics.Anyhow, enjoy...

I'm so excited right now, I can hardly type!As very few of you probably know, Dennis Kucinich introduced Articles of Impeachment against Vice-President Dick Cheney last month and they passed the House of Representatives. Yes, I typed that correctly. They passed the House of Representatives. Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not want to go immediately into debate, so the Articles of Impeachment moved into the House Judiciary Committee. The House Judiciary Committee is where hearings are to take place if the Chairman, John Conyers, decides to proceed.Rep. Robert Wexler is a member of the House Judiciary Committee and he is calling for impeachment hearings to begin! But the Democratic leadership is still standing in the way. Robert Wexler and two other members of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Luis Gutierrez and Rep. Tammy Baldwin, have written an op-ed in support of starting hearings which can be found on the website Robert Wexler has set up to show public support for starting hearings. He

- Scott Miller It’s a damn shame Cheney’s ticker is iffy… he would have made an awesome President. This from Fox News: Cheney: Democrats Can’t Stand Up To House Speaker Nancy Pelosi WASHIGNTON — Vice President Dick Cheney is suggesting that House Democrats who rubber stamp Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s wrongheaded agenda are lacking a spine. Cheney expressed incredulity with the majority leadership during an interview published in The Politico newspaper on Wednesday. The White House later released a full transcript of the interview. Senior Democrats “march to the tune of Nancy Pelosi to the extent I had not seen, frankly, with any previous speaker. I’m trying to think how to say all of this in a gentlemanly fashion, but [in] the Congress I served in, that wouldn’t have happened,” he said. Nevertheless, Cheney said the Democrats in Congress — who took over the majority after the 2006 midterm elections — have “produced absolutely no

    The Neo-Con Foreign Policy     of Self-Fulfilling Prophecy    Yet Again: Why We Must Impeach   President Bush and Vice President Cheney By Hank Edson A Time for Humble PieOn Tuesday, President Bush reported to the nation and the world that a recent National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) concluded that four years ago Iran had stopped its covert program aimed at developing nuclear weapons. To many sober minds, this news would be cause not only for a little celebration, but also a little humble pie. After all, over the past several months, the President and other senior members of his administration have depicted Iran over the last several months as bent upon acquiring nuclear weapons. As recently as October, President Bush said in a press conference, “ I think so long -- until they suspend and/or make it clear that they -- that their statements aren't real, yeah, I believe they want to have the capacity, the knowledge,
