Have you ever wondered why George Bush gave up on finding Osama bin Laden and in some cases, pulled the plug on overt and covert military operations when they had intelligence reports on his whereabouts? It is only now, that president-elect Barack Obama is slated to take office on January 20th that we are seeing a resurgence of news reporting on Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. Why is that?

Just when you thought the depths of stupidity had been plumbed.….I received a comment this morning in response to the article published in The Lang Report, stating that in a recent survey, 23% of Texans polled believe that Barack Obama is a muslim. The mentality of the commenter reminds me of how George Bush could have possibly been elected TWICE!

If nothing else, John McCain’s choice of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate and the next Vice President of the United States is controversial and will be seen (in hindsight) as either his greatest blunder or a stroke of strategic genius. Time will tell although we are betting on the former.

Rielle Hunter, the one-time cocaine party girl and woman at the heart of the John Edwards scandal is the daughter of the infamous James Druck, the man who taught how to electrocute horses as part of an insurance fraud scheme. I am sure that more will be revealed…..it always is!

Darfur, Croatia, Bosnia and Myanmar: How many times can we say, NEVER AGAIN? How many times can we curse poverty, disease and genocide, promising that “Never Again” will we let this happen on our watch only to read about it over and over again in our newspapers daily?

New technology available to the FBI Laboratories has given them the ability to re-evaluate the anthrax that was being mailed to various lawmakers and other in 2001. Now, the key suspect in the case just committed suicide adding another dimension to the investigation. The Lang Report has put together a synopsis of the event. …..much ,ore to follow! The “key dates” in the investigation of the anthrax attacks are:

The Bush Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack. The article gives us a glimpse into Bush’s belief that it is his destiny, and god’s will that he continue on his messianic mission to spread Democracy in the Middle East. …..very scary!

Hillary Rodham Clinton, you’ve got a friend in Dirty Harry. Though a longtime follower of John McCain — dating back to the Arizona senator’s 2000 run against George W. Bush in the GOP primary — Clint Eastwood thinks Clinton deserves some serious respect. And enough already with the calls for her to quit. “Everybody’s trying to talk her into folding, but it doesn’t seem like the spirit of Americana,”

There has been a dangerous, but very interesting shell game going on in the opuium fields of Afghanistan that is primarily dictated by the policies of the Bush Administration and carried out by the United States Marines as they sleep beside a grove of poppies in the world’s largest opium poppy-growing region surrounded by green fields of the illegal plants that produce the main ingredient of heroin
