President Bush wrapped up his visit to Israel yesterday, promising to return in May to “continue pressing the Israelis and Palestinians into reaching a peace agreement.” A recent poll of Israelis, however, found that “found that 77 percent of those questioned believed Mr. Bush would fail in the mission.”
“NASA’s watchdog office has sharply reduced its criminal investigations under a leader accused of mismanagement by a presidential commission and members of Congress, the space agency’s records show.”
The Department of Homeland Security will announce today that “driver’s license rules and procedures will be standardized across all 50 states” The new plan is expected to anger many, including states that have to implement the changes and civil rights groups who say “the changes will invade individuals’ privacy.”
Several analysts and former military officials argue that the Iraq surge “may actually have enhanced prospects for a bloodier civil war by effectively permitting the warring sides” — now more segregated than ever — “to re-group and re-arm in anticipation of a new round of bloodletting as U.S. troops withdraw.”
“The chairmen of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees joined in asking the Justice Department on Thursday for details of contracts that the department directed to former Attorney General John Ashcroft and other outside lawyers” following reports of favoritism by the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey.
According to Federal Emergency Management Agency records provided to USA Today, only about $1 billion of the $4.5 billion worth of infrastructure projects earmarked for Louisiana and Mississippi” after the 2005 Gulf coast hurricanes has been spent, “a sign that key pieces of the region’s recovery effort are languishing in red tape.”
“Presenting a bleak picture of a deteriorating national economy, Ben S. Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, strongly suggested on Thursday that the Fed would cut interest rates soon, perhaps by a large amount.” “We stand ready to take substantive additional actions,” Bernanke said.
Shortly after ABC News reported on the rape of former Halliburton/KBR employee, Jamie Leigh Jones, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for answers. Her deadline of Dec. 21 passed with no reply. Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) has also wrote to Rice on Jan. 3, telling her of the “lack of cooperation from her department.” No response yet.
And finally: On Wednesday, the conservative Heritage Foundation hosted guests for a lunch event. They were served “turkey and brie on cranberry bread.” The reaction to the sandwich by the right-wing crowd? “This is kind of a liberal sandwich,” moaned one of the attendees.

January 11th, 2008 at 9:12 amKucinich asks for New Hampshire recount in the interest of election integrity
DETROIT, MI – Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the most outspoken advocate in the Presidential field and in Congress for election integrity, paper-ballot elections, and campaign finance reform, has sent a letter to the New Hampshire Secretary of State asking for a recount of Tuesday’s election because of “unexplained disparities between hand-counted ballots and machine-counted ballots.â€
He added, “Ever since the 2000 election – and even before – the American people have been losing faith in the belief that their votes were actually counted. This recount isn’t about who won 39% of 36% or even 1%. It’s about establishing whether 100% of the voters had 100% of their votes counted exactly the way they cast them.â€
“…This is not about my candidacy or any other individual candidacy. It is about the integrity of the election process.†No other Democratic candidate, he noted, has stepped forward to question or pursue the claims being made.”
“New Hampshire is in the unique position to address – and, if so determined, rectify – these issues before they escalate into a massive, nationwide suspicion of the process by which Americans elect their President. Based on the controversies surrounding the Presidential elections in 2004 and 2000, New Hampshire is in a prime position to investigate possible irregularities and to issue findings for the benefit of the entire nation,†Kucinich wrote in his letter.
“Without an official recount, the voters of New Hampshire and the rest of the nation will never know whether there are flaws in our electoral system that need to be identified and addressed at this relatively early point in the Presidential nominating process,†said Kucinich

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You REALLY think a little thing like the Constitution is going to slow them down? After all it’s only a “g*ddamn piece of paper” , isn’t it?
Seriously — even if they COULD get around that pesky amendment and mandate federal laws and standards for driver’s licenses, they should just make licenses to operate vehicles a federal matter and issue national driver’s licenses. AND PAY FOR THEM. It’s unfair to ask all states to comply with new expensive standards if they have to foot the bill.
January 11th, 2008 at 9:21 amSeveral analysts and former military officials argue that the Iraq surge “may actually have enhanced prospects for a bloodier civil war by effectively permitting the warring sides†— now more segregated than ever — “to re-group and re-arm in anticipation of a new round of bloodletting as U.S. troops withdraw.â€
Then there’s all that money we have been paying them to not kill our soldiers. I’m fairly sure much of that money is going to re-arm various factions. Until there is a stable government in Iraq, it will never be a peaceful nation. The surge has failed. It was designed to stabilize the violence to allow the government room to stabilize. All the surge has done is to drive insurgents out of Baghdad into other parts of Iraq. They are not gone, they have just moved and they will move back when it suits them.

BTW, I have never called Bush “President” and I never will. I do not acknowledge him as the President of the United States.

This will happen eventually, since no American will want to appear “unpatriotic” simply because they value their right to privacy.

Rice is like all the other Bush sycophants. She will just ignore anything she doesn’t want to deal with. And why not? It works so well, there really is no incentive for any of them to cooperate. Until Congress gets off it’s ass and starts issuing subpoenas and backs them up with legal action, the Bush Crime Family will continue to thumb their noses in our face.
January 11th, 2008 at 9:26 amSo the Fed is cutting interest rates again?
Bully for them, but it won’t impact my family’s spending. I intend to continue cutting back on non-essentials: eating out, the hair dresser (sorry June!), new clothes and other crap I want, but don’t need.

The sad thing is that this logic only applies to “we the people”. When it comes to the Bush Crime Family, all bets are off. I wish that the Democratic Party would make this their mantra. Every time someone in the Bush Crime Family refuses to cooperate with an investigation, they should be saying “If you have nothing to hide, why are you hiding it?” or “If you have done nothing wrong, why won’t you cooperate with the investigation?”

I share your aversion to calling Bush ‘the President’ and have a hard time writing it. I refuse to say that he ‘won’ either election.
I also agree that with Katrina, a whole group of politicos (based in official Government posts) were mobilized to turn New Orlean into a Republican area, through neglect and a selective use of bureaucracy. I think what followed was a sort of ‘partisan-cleansing’. I remember a Republican operative saying as much – speaking of the opportunities that Katrina presented. Totally disgusting and un-American!

Bush administration ready to release revised Real ID regs
By Ben Bain
Published on January 10, 2008
The Bush administration will release Jan. 11 a revised set of minimum federal standards that states must meet when issuing driver’s licenses and identification cards as mandated by the Real ID Act of 2005, said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
Well, it looks like that is what the drivers license issue is all about. He is implementing Real ID.

January 11th, 2008 at 9:58 amFor anyone who doesn’t know what Real ID is, please read the entire article linked below. Real ID is essentially creating a National ID card. Very scary indeed.
According to the current draft, which is still being hammered out by the Department of Homeland Security (but not up for public debate), anytime a state issues a driver’s license, they will be required to do a background check on that person in conjunction with a national database.
That federal database will be used in conjunction with other national databases to collect information on Americans, ensure that their Social Security number is associated with their driver’s license, and also require each driver’s license to feature an electronic code that allows for quick scanning and retention of information by authorities in real time.

January 11th, 2008 at 10:06 amThe “surge” was designed by the Cheney-Bush cabal not, in reality, to accomplish any other goal than to prolong the occupation until they could DUMP the whole mess on the next administration regardless of what party that might be. A side benefit also to the “surge” is, of course, the continual drain on the treasury to “starve the beast” while enriching war-profiteers who will contribute heavily to Conservative causes and provide well-paid sinecures for departing, high-ranking administration officials.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:10 amThe Department of Homeland Security will announce today that “driver’s license rules and procedures will be standardized across all 50 statesâ€
True story:
A friend lost her license (wallet stolen), and went for a replacement. She brought a couple of other forms of ID – including a passport (I think it was expired).
None of these IDs were acceptable – due to the DHS. She was told she needed a note from her doctor to confirm that she was herself.
So, the DHS is requiring doctors to violate HIPAA laws already!

Record oil prices widened the United States trade deficit in November as the cost of imported petroleum outpaced a modest rise in exports.
The gap between what Americans import and export grew 9.3 percent, to $63.1 billion, the biggest deficit in 14 months, the Commerce Department said on Friday. Imported oil accounted for more than half of the total.

First, he stacked the deck with the ‘00 & ‘04 elections.
Next, he deals the cards. Keep in mind, he can see your hand, but you can’t see his.
You’re dealt a poor hand on purpose, unsuited 2 & 3. He dealt himself a pair of Aces.
As the other cards are dealt, you’ll see more Aces in the community cards.
The only way you could win is to go ‘all in’, but Bush’s pot is so huge you can’t match it.

He shovels back a huge pile into his stack. Then immediately goes all in again on the next hand.
Everybody folds. Next hand, all in again.
Somebody calls. He busts.
So, he buys in again, goes all in again, busts again.
Now, everybody is onto his game and is dying to get a shot at his ass.
Buys in again, all in again, busts again.
And he just keeps on buying in and busting. Buying in and busting..
Then, to everyone’s horror, they realize that this guy has been using THEIR ATM cards to buy in over and over and over again…

The law. The LAW, Katy! THEY BROKE IT! THEY MUST PAY!!!!
“psst… they were republicans…”
THERE WERE NO LAWS BROKEN!!!!
January 11th, 2008 at 11:50 amFox news is actually using the word “Kucinich” in its tagline, or whatever you call it.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:50 amThey use it like “Munson” in the movie Kingpin…
“Did you hear about Joe? Man, he pulled a Kucinich…”
Real patriots acting in the best interest of the country are mocked.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:56 amWhat’s with the hands on with the children their Mr. War Criminal?
Eeeeooooo, I certainly wouldn’t want that war criminal touching my child. He certainly is into “copping a feel” when he can, sicko.

January 11th, 2008 at 12:08 pmMorning daryl hows the apologies for totalitarianism going this morning ! Ever read the constitution ? U are the passive one ! You trust big government but your party is supposed to be against big government . Your party is supposed to be for states rights ! You are all for placing dictatorial powers in the hands of a few in the executive branch . Hell you don’t seem at all concerned when signing statements destroy the basis of our democracy . Whats in your dossier ?
Generations of Americans have given their lives for the very rights you advocate our relinquishing , and you consider yourself a patriot ? You want us to leave ?
The basic inalienable rights of Americans shall not be abridged by government , the march towards freedom is relentless and will never be stopped .
Bush’s only success was stealing the elections twice. He managed to that very well. Besides that, it’s all been a six pack of failures. Failed war, failed economy, failed diplomacy, and failed policy. Worshipping Satan truly works for Bush. No matter how bad your performance and policies are, worshipping Satan truly works!! It works wonders for idiot Bush. No wonder people are saying ‘the hell with God! Satan sets you up right!’ You bet! Ultimately the idiot satanic ’skulls and bones’ freak is turning people AWAY from God! God tests people. He has people go through trials and difficult times so that they can grow spiritually. But Satan, no Satan pays cash up front! No matter how bad you screw up!Ask Bush, he knows!
January 11th, 2008 at 1:07 pmThis administration complaining about the opposition using children as props when promoting SCHIP, State Children’s Health Insurance Program, and vetoed it..
Apparently it’s OK to use children as props when you’re promoting World War $$$.
January 11th, 2008 at 1:32 pmDARYLL THE PARODYLL!!!
YOU’RE CORRECT!!! THEY BROKE THE LAW!!!
AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WANTS TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!!!
what part of “U.S. Chamber of Commerce Report: State and Local
Anti-Immigation Laws Bad for Business”
do you not understand? … did THIS sentence get by you too?
“A crackdown by scores of U.S. states and municipalities on undocumented immigration threatens the competitiveness of businesses…”
you blew it, dum bass…
January 11th, 2008 at 1:33 pmI agree,bush is worse the me…..signed SATAN
January 11th, 2008 at 1:39 pmKATY, THEY BROKE THE LAW!!!!! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!!!! You guys are very passive.
Comment by Daryll — January 11, 2008 @ 11:41 am
Apparently the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is just fine with that, and doesn’t want any state or local municipalities trying to enforce those pesky immigration laws.
As long as the business world wants a steady stream of cheap labor, expect nothing to be done about illegal immigration. They will lobby the heck against any effort to implement any common-sense solutions, such as going after the employers who hire undocumented workers.
I don’t know who the “you guys” is that you find so passive, but it’s not the posters here who are in need of a chiropractor from looking the other way so much.
January 11th, 2008 at 1:44 pmKaty, you do realize you just fed a troll, right?

January 11th, 2008 at 2:00 pmyep… happens occasionally…
January 11th, 2008 at 2:11 pmcouldn’t resist pointing out what a stoopid mistake it made…
January 11th, 2008 at 2:13 pm:-)
Bush thinks his future cannon fodder is sooooooo cute.
January 11th, 2008 at 9:32 pmWhat did you miss, Thinkprogress?
How about these:
1. Continued debate about voting irregularities in New Hampshire’s Dem primary. http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5546
2. Dennis Kucinich was invited and then *disinvited* to the Dem debate in Nevada *after* he challenged the NH results. http://tpzoo.wordpress.com/2008/01/12/nbc-un-plugs-kucinich-from-presidential-debate/
What are you? Part of the solution? Or part of the problem?
