List of Lists
See a list thrown up there in wide-open spaces. Think Progress has an incredible serial-names roll call of Decider George’s minions — caretakers as in Sarah Palin — during the past eight gruesome years. Read it here.

Not Done It Pundit
Another brick in the wall. The DOD’s IG says the DOD did nothing illegal in the DOD’s TV news military analysts program: But in the new report, the inspector general’s office, noting the absence of a clear legal definition of propaganda, said there was an “insufficient basis†to conclude that the program had violated laws…
Fare Thee Well — Part 2
Even an after-thought already. Decider George’s farewell fiasco was eclipsed in the news cycle today by the Airbus doing a hard belly-flop in the Hudson River — and furthermore, a “miracle,” as everybody on board got out alive, creating a story-line way-overshadowing a despised president’s parting dribble. (Illustration of Emile Jean Horace Vernet’s ‘Les Adieux…
Fare Thee Well — Part 1
Late this afternoon here in northern California — early evening back on the right coast — Decider George will bid his not-so-absolute farewell to a beleaguered nation, a crowd of US peoples itching for his face to disappear off any kind of radar. The folksy speech, apparently, will continue the bullshit: The speech at 5…
Iran Hand
As the Gaza situation continues, even in the face of international outcries and the top U.N. human rights official calling for a war crimes investigation, the real-deal hand in all this, Iran, is being cool. One great fear of this entire cruel episode is that Israel will piss off its Arab neighbors so bad, an…
Obama’s Panetta: Blowback the Spooks
Intelligence does not always mean brainy. Charlie Wilson wasn’t a spook, but he used the stuff of spooks to create such an explosive blowback situation in Afghanistan that the war he fueled altered modern life — and not at all for the good. Wilson is a Custer-like asshole who convinced all of DC the CIA…
‘Smaller Than Life’
One major gripe I’ve got against the New York Times‘ Frank Rich: He doesn’t publish enough. Rich weaves theater into politics and for the most part, at least this past year, has threaded together the best observations on the DC goings-on — He continually nails Decider George. This evening another good, insightful ditty, commenting the…
Hang ‘Em, Hang ‘Em High
As one of the most-bizarre and just-plain-weird years comes to a close and a new 12-month cycle just cranks off, I’ve gotten this really-bad feeling about Decider George and all the horrible, immoral, illegal shit he’s done — he’ll just ride off into the sunset scot-ass free. That’s just so wrong. (Illustration found here). The…
Preparatory Beware: Info from Liars and Incompetents
Advice from fabricators and twisters of truth. The current White House people have produced “contingency plans” for President-Elect Obama in case some emergency might quickly pop up in the first few weeks of his administration, which in turn, creates the silly scenario of actually taking serious the managing director of the White Star Line. (Illustration…
Pervert the Intelligence
Decider George went around blubbering last week about how the CIA screwed way-up over Iraqi WMD: Sorry about that, “just wish the intelligence had been different, I guess.” The intel was different, asshole. It just wasn’t war material. Based upon curveball information, goaded by an Iraqi expatriate and doing as the Brits reported: “…the intelligence…
