I called Delta just to harass them and tell them that something must be wrong with their website because their prices can't be THAT much more than the competition. Especially since my city is a Delta hub and that's supposed to be a big deal and

Any dictator, King, or Sultan can tell his people what he wants them to hear. It’s called propaganda. But in a democracy, our leaders are required to keep us informed with the truth. It’s called transparency and not only is it ethical, but it’s healthy for the nation.Unfortunately, Americans have come to expect lies from our politicians. But George W. Bush has become way too cavalier about

When Bush swore he'd get Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive," Washington State teacher Gary Weddle believed him enough that he swore not to shave his beard until Osama was caught. But that was right after 9/11. Five years later, the 43 year-old's beard is over a foot long. In fact, Weddle kind of looks a little like Osama himself. Perhaps we'd have better luck catching Osama if we sent Weddle's wife

Great show in Utah last night! Bobby spread the word and the band busted out "Salt Lake City." Bob sang the line "a plasma TV in every room." But when the Ratdog set was over and they hadn't played "Friend of the Devil," I thought we wouldn't hear the words "spent the night in Utah..." But Bob came out during the String Cheese set and led them in FOTD. String Cheese was off the hook and it was an

Here's a AP story from USA Today:"Fake flu shots were given out last week at a health fair at ExxonMobil Corp.'s Baytown complex and an investigation was underway, authorities said.ExxonMobil spokeswoman Treacy A. Roberts said Thursday that the FBI told the company that what was administered "definitely not the flu vaccine."It doesn't appear that the fake shots were harmful, but steps were being

According to a New York Daily News article by Thomas M. DeFrank, “Bush jettisoned contrary advice from his advisers and appointed his longtime personal lawyer. ‘He must know that the way he did that, relying on his own judgment and instinct, was not good,’ [a] key adviser said."But Bush expected Congress to be able to learn enough about Miers to be able to confirm her. "He's confident that she

A lot of attention is being given to Italalian newspaper La Repubblica's recent stories about the Niger forgeries.As Laura Rosen explains in the American Prospect, the crux of the matter is this:La Repubblica reveals that Pollari met secretly in Washington on September 9, 2002, with then–Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley. Their secret meeting came at a critical moment in the White

That's what Slate attempted to answer with a story by John Dickerson. One interesting passage discusses the 'Aspens Turning' lines from Libby's letter to Judith Miller.Now no one is giving Libby the benefit of the doubt, at least in interpreting his mysterious jailhouse note to Judy Miller. That letter ended with a personal passage that seemed to cry out for accompaniment by moody background

The David Johnston, Richard W. Stevenson and Douglas Jehl story in the New York Times that says that I. Lewis Libby learned Valerie Plame's name from Vice President Dick Cheney is causing all kinds of speculation and discourse from the MSM and the Blogesphere.As Fox New points out, "It would not likely have been a crime for Cheney and Libby to have discussed Plame, since both presumably possessed

According to Thomas M. DeFrank and the New York Daily News, Bush is said to be “frustrated, sometimes angry and even bitter."In a story that's been reprinted as far as Pakistan, Bush is charactarised as being moody as he deals with strains including Hurricane Katrina, The Iraq War, Miers' nomination, and the seemingly likely indictment of top Whitehouse aids."This is not some manager at

In anticipation of indictments this week, here are previous quotes and denials that came from the Whitehouse:March 30, 2003 – Scott McClellan“I’m saying no one was certainly given any authority to do anything of that nature, and I’ve seen no evidence to suggest there’s any truth to it.”September 16, 2003 – Scott McClellanQ Wilson now believes that the person who did this was Karl Rove…Did Karl

According to the 12th Amendment of the Constitution, a presidential and vice presidential candidate inhabiting the same state cannot both earn that state's electoral votes.This caused problems for Dick Cheney in 2000. He had been residing in Highland Park, Texas since 1995. But he wanted to run for vice president on the same ticket with Texan George W. Bush.To solve the problem, Cheney put up his

Bill Keller MemoCrooks & Liars has posted a memo to NY Times staff from Bill Keller.In it he says "So it was a year before we got around to really dealing with the [WMD coverage] controversy. At that point, we published a long editors' note acknowledging the prewar journalistic lapses, and -- to my mind, at least as important - - we intensified aggressive reporting aimed at exposing the way bad

The US media seems to be only able to cover one natural disaster at a time. Right now, it is the arrival of Hurricane Wilma.What is not being covered enough is the terrible post earthquake situation in South Asia .Officials raised the death toll to more than 47,700 people while regional authorities estimate figures as high as 79,000, according to The Associated Press. Local authorities reported

Today, the LA Times revealed that "[Michael] Brown is still on FEMA's payroll as a consultant... He works from home, where he is "pulling all the documentation together" for the investigations into Katrina response, she said, and his original 30-day contract was recently extended for another 30 days."This comes right after the release of an email in which it seems Brown was too involved in dinner

As UPI worded it, “Miller was jailed…for refusing to cooperate with a federal investigation into the disclosure of a CIA operative`s name.” The CIA operative’s name is Valerie Plame and Miller provided Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and the federal grand jury a notebook of hers that included the name “Valerie Flame.”The fact that Miller was in possession of the name (or close) was not in
