Keith Olbermann unleashes what may well be his angriest, most blistering Special Comment yet, aimed squarely at his favorite target: President Bush. Olbermann was responding to Bush's claim that he had given up golf in honor of the Iraq war — and his assertion that a Democratic president withdrawing from Iraq would "eventually lead to another attack on the United States" — a statement Olbermann called "ludicrous, infuriating, holier-than-thou and most importantly bone-headedly wrong." Olbermann continued in that vein for a full 12 minutes (or 2,000 words), frequently raising his voice and spitting out his words in disgust. |

Bush Veto's Children’s Health Insurance Program, leaving 4,000,000 uninsured children behind |
|

On September 25th, the House passed the final House-Senate agreement to reauthorize the successful Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), H.R. 976, for an additional five years. On October 3rd, President Bush vetoed this legislation.
CHIP provides health coverage to American children whose parents do not qualify for Medicaid, but can not afford private insurance. This bill would bring health coverage to approximately ten million children in need – preserving coverage for all 6.6 million children currently covered by CHIP, and reaching millions more low-income, uninsured American children in the next five years.

Columbia University President Lee Bollinger crushes Iranian President Ahmadinejad during introduction |

Columbia University President, Lee C. Bollinger, in a defining moment, illustrates the power of the spoken word. Many have been conflicted, or even opposed to Columbia's decision to give President Ahmadinejad a forum to speak during his visit to New York. Once again, freedom of speech proves to be the most powerful freedom we have in this country. It inherently exposes either the speaker’s strength or weakness. Ahmadinejad is quickly called out on the ridiculousness of his rhetoric. Listen to President Bollinger’s introduction.

We're selling almost 20% of the Nasdaq to Dubai; WTF are you thinking President Bush? |

Read this disturbing WorldNetDaily.com article about President Bush's attitude towards the purcashe of 19.9 percent of the NASDAQ by a Dubai Holding company. The holding company is owned and operated by the government of the Emirate of Dubai and controlled by Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the head of the Dubai ruling family. President Bush is reviewing it to see if it has any national security implications. DUH!!!! |

Read the New York Times Analysis on the new MoveOn.org Ad. The ad is the third in MoveOn’s series of “betrayal” ads that began last week with a print ad that called Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of American forces in Iraq, “General Betray Us.” The second is a 30-second spot starting today on CNN criticizing President Bush for not reducing the number of troops to pre-surge levels. The “Betray Us” ad elicited a ferocious response from Republicans, including Rudolph W. Giuliani.

Why isn't Chuck Hagel running for President in 2008? |

Senator Chuck Hagel (R) of Nebraska was sounding very presidential on Bill Maher's Real Time HBO show over the weekend (Sept 16). Sen. Hagel may be out of step with the republican base but he speaks to people in a straight, no BS way that is similar to Barrack Obama. It is a shame for America that a man of such character and integrity has chosen to step out of his current role. He could be a real bridge builder if he ran for president. |

Is Fox News beating the drums of war again? |

Moveon.org has produced a video accusing FOX of beating the drums of war with Iran. In 2003, FOX said "Al Qaeda is in Baghdad" and evidence of WMDs was "irrefutable." In 2007, they suggest Iran "is forging ties with Al Qaeda" and the evidence against Iran is "unequivocal."
Is Fox Fair and Balance? Watch the video and as they say; you decide. Let us know how it made you feel.

Kayne West has vowed to never return to MTV's Video Music Awards after yelling backstage about losing all five categories for which he was nominated.
Kayne West needs to shut his damn mouth and take some responsibility for himself and stop playing the race card every time he gets dissed.

Michael Vick steps up to the plate and takes responsibility for his actions. It is amazing how many people don't get that. He may have salvaged an opportunity to play again in the NFL. We'll see if Larry Craig gets it... |

It is about time, after losing all creditability he was an albatross around the President's neck. It will be interesting to see if the Democrats receed or continue to press forward with the AG firings and illegal wire tapping allegations??? |

Daily Show foreign policy analysis |

Once again the Daily Show cloaks the brutal reality in clever political satire. Maybe challenging the current conventions of foreign policy is exactly what we need; a fresh approach.
