Cindy McCain stole drugs from her own charity.

To think some treasonous president almost stopped this...

McCain admits he doesn't know how to use a computer. (He's old)

“Warren G. Harding was a negro.”

Oh, you funny, funny racists. I hope you all, all, burn in hell. Fuck you. No really, fuck YOU, sincerely. By the way, does this douche bag look like Ted Stephens (corrupt republicant, Alaska) or not?

“Well, you make it sound as though this is the first time we’ve had a black president.”

“Warren G. Harding was a negro.”

–John McLaughlin of The McLaughlin Group

I’ve never watched The McLaughlin Group, but I didn’t think John McLaughlin was some sort of crazy person. In fact, had someone told me they had heard John McLaughlin say these things, I would not have believed them. I saw it for myself while watching last night’s episode of The Colbert Report tonight during The ThreatDown.

The cubicle mercenary force or how it sucks to be the Pentagon today.

The Pentagon is in crisis: The war in Iraq is entering its fifth hot summer. And while U.S. troop casualties are down, the light at the end of the occupation tunnel is no closer and no brighter.

Headaches mount on the home front as well. The head of the Air Force was recently embarrassed and forced from the cockpit. Billions of dollars have been misplaced or misspent. Huge cost overruns bedevil weapons contractors. And, private contractors have formed a cubicle mercenary force, outnumbering uniformed personnel and federal employees in many DoD agencies.

The Government Accountability Office has issued a series of reports on these problems. While the watchdog agency sticks to the script of analytic bureaucratese, what they document is cumulatively damning to business as usual at the Pentagon.

Money Problems

"The mood at the CIA and Pentagon was 'war is coming' because the Bush Family stands to make billions from it -- so get ready."

On May 16, 2008, Arrigo sent extensive government corruption and cover-up information to Henry Waxman, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee - in 12 separate cases. This article covers four of them or about one-third of what Congress got. The 12 are explosive and revealing but just the tip of the iceberg:

-- of government corruption and war profiteering;

-- sweetheart deals and kickbacks;

-- high-level types on the take;

-- trillions of missing dollars;

-- on September 10, 2001, Rumsfeld admitting "According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions;"

-- imagine the current amount;

-- its corrosive effect on the nation; and people should

-- demand accountability - who profits, who pays and what are the consequences of militarism gone mad.

Michelle said "Whitey". Barack is a Muslim. Barack won't put his hand over his heart..

FIGHT the SMEARS

Army public affairs office promotes ‘Obama = surrender’ talking point.

Note to US Army Publica Affairs Office: This is BAD Perception Management. You're doing it wrong. Good initiative, bad judgement. From ThinkProgress..

And more to the point, why is the Army’s official in-house public affairs shop linking to this kind of stuff? Just a few weeks ago, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told all hands to stay out of politics. … Unfortunately, the message didn’t get to through to the Army.

Supreme Court of the US hands ChimpCo it's ASS.

Wow. Detainees had legal rights under the Constitution or Geneva. Fascist everywhere lament the loss of the the republic, we're sure.

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that foreign terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have rights under the Constitution to challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts.

The justices handed the Bush administration its third setback at the high court since 2004 over its treatment of prisoners who are being held indefinitely and without charges at the U.S. naval base in Cuba. The vote was 5-4, with the court's liberal justices in the majority.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the court, said, "The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times."

republican ignorance/bigotry holds up AIDS/HIV prevention

From Think Progress:

The Senate has introduced a bipartisan bill tripling funding for President Bush’s program to fight HIV/AIDS. The $50 billion budget over five years would go toward the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which is set to expire in September.

The legislation, however, is being held up by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) and six other conservative senators who object to the fact that the program would direct most of the spending on the “prevention” of HIV/AIDS, rather than just “treatment.” The treatment of HIV/AIDS-infected individuals is “the No. 1 prevention protocol we have” argued Coburn.

BBC: Bush Admin places gag order on 23 BILLION in Iraq FRAUD

War profiteering is Treason. Ergo, ChimpCo are traitors. From the Beeb:

A BBC investigation estimates that around $23bn (£11.75bn) may have been lost, stolen or just not properly accounted for in Iraq.

The BBC's Panorama programme has used US and Iraqi government sources to research how much some private contractors have profited from the conflict and rebuilding.

A US gagging order is preventing discussion of the allegations.

The order applies to 70 court cases against some of the top US companies.

War profiteering

While Presdient George W Bush remains in the White House, it is unlikely the gagging orders will be lifted.

To date, no major US contractor faces trial for fraud or mismanagement in Iraq.

Can't have John McBush (republicant) answering questions about such massive, massive fraud during an election year...

Think twice about fucking with Bill Moyers

What? Don't remember the Bill O'Reilly sex scandal? Bill O'Reilly's producer did.

Top McCain Aide: Bush Knows Little About The Economy

Oh, come on..that's like saying Chimpy knows little about quantum physics, history, foreign policy.....or even how to button his fucking shirt.

Thought of the day: The US hasn't had many terror alerts since the last presidential election, have we?

bonus: The biggest domestic attack and the biggest strategic failure belong to one chimpy like child of a man.

Congressional Black Caucus Foundation receives racist Obama t-shirt in the mail.
