I have to hand it to former House Representative Mark Foley, R-Fla. He’s a creep and a pervert, but he’s a smart perv. Foley continues to use every slimy trick in the book to dodge responsibility for his actions. Most recently Congressman Foley claimed that -as a boy- a Catholic priest molested him. (Rumor has it, the Catholic priest claims that -as a boy- a creepy Republican Congressman molested him.)

If one does get caught with one’s pants down in an inexcusable situation, then take a lesson from Foley’s book on how to bob and weave and throw sand and smoke in everyone’s eyes to obscure the facts of the case. The first smart thing Foley did was to flee into rehab immediately after the scandal broke, thereby gaining immediate shielding against nosy media and cops, and in some states, at least some immunity from arrest. He thus left his former house colleagues, especially Speaker Dennis Hastert, holding a very smelly bag that they do not wish to hold. (more…)

In theory, the United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a monarchy. In practice, George W. Bush does whatever the hell he wants and ignores any law that doesn’t suit him, and for some reason which passes all rational explanation, he is simply allowed to get away with it. The latest law he has announced he intends to disregard is one requiring him to submit a budget for the neocons’ deranged imperialist wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to explain to Congress what the funds will be used for. (How dare they ask Bush to be accountable!!!)

The Air Force Times says, “Congress said it wants next year’s defense budget to include funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but President Bush has indicated he may ignore that request. In a signing statement released when he signed the 2007 Defense Authorization Act on Oct. 17, the president listed two dozen provisions in the act that he indicated he may or may not abide by. Among the provisions is Section 1008 of the Authorization Act, which requires the president to submit defense budgets for 2008 and beyond that include funding for the wars and contain a detailed justification of the funds requested.” (more…)

Just when many people were thinking the Mark Foley scandal was settling down and that there couldn’t possibly be more Republican pedophiles, a new scandal has erupted. A CBS news article reports “Overseers of the House of Representatives’ program for teenage assistants this week discussed a camping trip that Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., took with two former interns and others in 1996 — an outing now under review by the Justice Department, a congressional source said Tuesday. The overseers, consisting of three lawmakers and two senior House officials, did not have any new information beyond recent news stories on the Kolbe trip. The source is familiar with the discussions but is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. The conference call Monday involving the Kolbe trip shows that the people responsible for the teenage assistants’ program are casting a wider net following revelations that ex-Rep. Mark Foley was sending overly friendly e-mails and sexually explicit instant messages to former male interns known as pages.”

Many rank and file Republicans in Hogbottom, Arkansas and Flyover, Kansas had absolutely no clue that the Republican Party has an overabundance of closet Gays and that a Gay Republican pedophile scandal was even possible. George Bush and Karl Rove were perfectly happy letting little old church-going ladies vote for some truly sickening individuals. Dennis Hastert is in trouble for not throwing Foley out much earlier. Hastert’s claim that he didn’t know about the scandal was quickly contradicted by other Republicans. (According to the “Young Turks” radio show, Mr. Hastert reportedly shares his Washington DC home with a long-time male friend. Hastert’s “wife” stays in a hotel when she visits DC.) (more…)

Every time there is a temporary lull in attacks on American troops in Iraq, the neocons scream in triumph the occupation has “turned the corner” and “we’ve got the insurgents on the run.” Then the next week there’s another spike in the American death toll. But October of 2006 may yet go down as the bloodiest yet in the 43 months of the war. At the time of this writing there are over sixty American dead, and the month still has another two weeks to run.

According to MSNBC, “The U.S. command said seven American troops died in fighting [around the northern Iraqi city of Balad] a day earlier. That raised the U.S. toll to 58 killed in the first two weeks of October, a pace that if continued would make the month the worst for coalition forces since 107 U.S. and 10 British soldiers died in January 2005.” Make a note of that: 107 American dead is the record Hadji Reb has to beat for October of this year, 117 if you count the British dead. We’re well on our way to suffering a record loss. (more…)

Corruption in high places has become so endemic throughout the world that no one is really shocked much anymore. But it is admittedly a bit unusual to have a head of state facing indictment by his own police and legal authorities on multiple rape charges. And what “light unto the Nations” has presented the world with this sterling example of high moral character in office? Step forward, ISRAEL!

Israel is a Mid-Eastern Semitic nation. In that part of the world, women have frequently been treated no better than property. While Israel did have a homely woman prime minister in its early history, some modern day Israelis buy and sell Gentile women slaves with as little conscience as an Arab slave merchant two hundred years ago. If something like this is tolerated, then it’s not that big a surprise that a top Israeli politician may have a sex crime or two on his record. (more…)

In every ancient society, it was always one of the most serious of crimes to speak of the death of the king. Now a new independent film which does just that has gotten the neocon establishment really rattled.

Yahoo News tells us “Newmarket Films set itself an unusual challenge when it decided to release the controversial faux investigative documentary Death of a President just six weeks after acquiring the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival last month. But it might face an even more formidable obstacle because several major theater chains are refusing to play the film, which mixes real news footage with dramatized segments depicting the fictional 2007 death of President Bush. Newmarket, the 12-year-old Los Angeles-based film financing, production and distribution company, plans to open the film October 27, just in time for the November 7 election.” (more…)

It was only a matter of time. Illegal aliens have now discovered another favorite old trick of the liberal left–the malicious abuse of civil litigation in order to do an end run around the law and the United States Constitution.

The Associated Press reports that “A group of illegal immigrants who worked for Wendy’s International Inc. is suing the restaurant chain because the company fired them after discovering it had missed a deadline for joining a federal program that would have helped them attain legal status.The lawsuit, filed Friday in state district court in Houston, is a companion to a similar class-action suit filed last month in Dallas against Dublin, Ohio-based Wendy’s, its subsidiary Cafe Express and the Houston-based business law firm Boyar & Miller.” (more…)

Remember the hurricane-related FEMA scandals of 2005, when it turned out that the head of the emergency agency on which millions of peoples’ lives might depend was a Bush political crony whose sole previous qualification for such a post was judging Arabian horse shows? A man so incompetent that even Dubya couldn’t gloss over his ineptitude and give him a presidential medal of freedom. Well, it looks like Mike Brown wasn’t the only dithering idiot at FEMA. A recent news article detailed some of the shenanigans the agency has gotten into over the past year.

According to the Florida Sun-Sentinel, FEMA seems to have been taken over in a coup d’etat by the cast of Sesame Street, or possibly a deranged cruise ship entertainment director. An article in the Sun Sentinel reports “At the Pinitos Learning Center in Boca Raton, disaster workers, dressed as Windy Biggie and Sunny, teach 30 preschoolers a song about how the wind is good, even during a hurricane…This is FEMA tax money at work. It’s also paying for Hurricane Bingo, puppet shows, ’salsa for seniors,’ and yoga on the beach.”

I’m sure the yoga does wonders for tired Federal bureaucrats. (more…)

Today, most Americans realize that Iraq is pretty much a giant pile of rubble where the favorite pastime is shooting at infidels followed by the runner up pastime: shooting at each other.

But that realization took time. Millions of Americans had to have a little “light bulb” of revelation go on over their heads at some point. For a long time, the neocons were dominating North America much as the dinosaurs had once done.

In February 2005, Harris did a poll on Iraq and al Qaeda, their results seem ridiculous -even lunatic- today. Specifically the Harris pollsters claimed:

“88 percent of U.S. adults believe that Saddam Hussein would have made weapons of mass destruction if he could have (down slightly from 90% in November).
76 percent believe that the Iraqis are better off now than they were under Saddam Hussein (same as November).
64 percent believe that history will give the U.S. credit for bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq (up slightly from 63% in November).
64 percent believe that Saddam Hussein had strong links to Al Qaeda (up slightly from 62% in November).
61 percent believe that Iraq, under Saddam Hussein, was a serious threat to U.S. security (down slightly from 63% in November). “

Perhaps the most insultingly dishonest lie by the neocons is that Hussein had “links” to al Qaeda. While the Harris poll had over 60 percent of Americans believing this in November 2004, a recent news article reveals that in September 2006 “in (its) latest poll, Zogby finds that 46% of Americans believe Saddam Hussein was involved in 9-11. Two-thirds of the Republicans polled believe that there is a link.” (more…)

A recent poll had opposition to US involvement in the Iraq War at 61 percent. So what are the Republicans doing to win the election? Bush is recycling all the “Stay the Course” and “Don’t cut and run” slogans from ‘04, hoping that Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sixpack don’t notice that we’ve wasted two years and almost two thousand more lives on Bush’s folly.

A recent news article reports ”
President George W. Bush and Republicans are sinking under the weight of the Iraq war and the Capitol Hill sex scandal, according to a flurry of polls, endangering their control of Congress in the November 7 elections. Democrats hold a growing advantage heading into the final four weeks of the campaign, with analysts moving more Republican-held seats into the high-risk category and improving the odds of Democrats seizing control of at least the House of Representatives. The polls, all taken after the sex scandal surfaced, show Democratic candidates with huge leads over Republicans amid broad public unhappiness about the Iraq war, Bush’s leadership and the Republican-led Congress.”

Of course the Republicans can fall back on their image as fiscal conservatives to win the 2006 election…. as long as people don’t notice the 8.5 trillion dollar national debt and the 300 billion lost -so far- in Iraq. Then there’s the Republican reputation as the party of morality which will play with people who stopped watching TV before the Mark Foley scandal broke or before the Republicans voted overwhelmingly to dump the Geneva Convention’s ban on torture.
