How many Bush administration officials does it take to change a light bulb? None. There’s nothing wrong with that light bulb. There is no need to change anything. We made the right decision and nothing has happened to change our minds. People who criticize this light bulb now, just because it doesn’t work anymore, supported […]
In a piece written for Rolling Stone, Hunter tells it like it is. I watch three or four frantic network-news bulletins about Iraq every day, and it is all just fraudulent Pentagon propaganda, the absolute opposite of what it says: u.s. transfers sovereignty to iraqi interim “government.” Hot damn!

It’s not cute, and it’s not funny, and it’s not religion. George Bush is running national policy on faith—but it’s […]
I made it very plain we will not have an all-volunteer army. Sometimes verbal slip-ups reveal a lot. [via Daily Kos, Atrios and others]
Here’s a transcript of Jon Stewart’s brilliant appearance on CNN’s Crossfire, and you can also watch the whole thing yourself via various resources on the web.
