Update: Mr. Webb has a personal scheduling conflict that I don’t want to talk about here. I am still very happily supporting him in his campaign, but we are not having the fundraiser on Sunday. Please consider trying to meet him at another event on his schedule (posted on his campaign website (http://www.webbforsenate.com/). Contributions are […]
Erci and I finally got to hear Jim Webb speak in person at this morning’s Dulles Area Democrats breakfast session in Herndon at Amphora Diner. In person Webb is every bit as impressive as his many fans over at Raising Kaine have said. The great news is that both Harris Miller and Jim Webb will […]
Last night my lovely wife and I visited the Sunday Supper Club to hear Harris Miller (who is seeking the Democratic nomination to run against George Allen this fall for U.S. Senate). As many of you know Harris Miller will have to face off against James Webb (former Secretary of the Navy during the Reagan […]
This just about sums up my feelings about the U.S. administration so eloquently and succinctly that it deserves spreading around. Sorry if the language is not suitable for certain environment… it is a flash slideshow with music, runs a few minutes. Worth every precious moment it takes to watch.

As much as I despise his horrible track record of poor leadership and dishonesty, I think we should try to connect with President Bush. He has a rare window of opportunity: 1) Essentially three years left to his term, and he knows he can’t be re-elected. 2) The public already disapproves of his administration. 3) […]

Conventional wisdom is that America became involved in Vietnam as a result of the continuation of a foreign policy practiced steadily […]
There is a very interesting and revealing story in the Washington Post about why the wealthy appear to be more likely to support President Bush’s adventure in colonialism than the less affluent. It appears, though no scientific studies have been made, that the wealthy have less to lose as their children are not likely to […]
“Two nations, under Bush – very divisible… with liberty and justice for only a chosen few.” Wow – that sums it all up, n’est pas? A week after the fiasco of 2004 I am still reeling from the realization that a significant proportion of American voters are so ignorant, and so immoral, that they could […]
Vice President Dick Cheney and others continue harping on the same question over and over again even though it has already been answered a dozen times by Senators John Edwards and John Kerry. They (the Republicans) keep repeating the question about why the senators voted against funding the war and they continue to try to […]
What the heck is wrong with our president? How can he believe the world is a safer place today than it was before the invasion of Iraq? More people hate the United States than ever before. I feel far less safe because of the madman in the oval office. How can he site Afghanistan as […]
