Hello! After having some web host issues, I had to move to a new internet home. In the process, I decided to move my blog to the easier remember domain of craigcheslog.com. All posts will now be there. Please update... - Republicans Warn Baseball: Don't Let Soros Buy Into Nats
Now Republicans are threatening Major League Baseball about selling any part of the Washington Nationals to a particular owner. That's right. The Republican chairman of the Government Reform Committee has warned Major League Baseball not to sell the Washington Nationals... - Right Wing Lies
I see that the right-wing media is now working at full capacity to rewrite the nation's response to the September 11 terorrist attacks. Thankfully, Media Matters for America is there to expose the latest lies. Fox News managing editor Brit... - For It, Before He Was Against It
Over at Think Progress, Faiz catches President George W. Bush in another bit of rank hypocrisy. We can be sure that our current president will ignore calls for a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq during his primetime speech tonight, but... - GOP Leader Threatens Scientists
Chris Mooney highlights the latest effort in the radical GOP's war against science: House Energy and Commerce Committee chair Joe Barton has sent a threatening letter to the heads of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the National Science... - Supporting Our Troops
While Karl Rove wrongly says that liberals are putting our troops in danger, the Bush Administration continues to send our troops into combat without proper equipment. The New York Times' Michael Moss reports: When Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld visited... - Negotiating With Terrorists
While Karl Rove speaks with red meat designed to satiate the radical right-wing base, United States policy seems to shift in a different direction. Billmon captures the hypocrisy well: No nation can negotiate with terrorists. For there is no way... - Karl Rove's Smear
Perhaps now we will fight back. After several years of regularly having radical Republicans smear Democrats and others who disagree with their policies as unpatriotic, America haters, or traitors, perhaps these outrageous comments made by White House Deputy Chief of... - The Inorganic Press
You really must read this Digby post that exposes (again) the hypocrisy, bias, and laziness exhibited by our establishment political media every day. Woodruff pointed out that the Republicans have wisely learned to throw their red meat "below the radar"... - Exaggerating Anti-Terror Effectiveness
The Washington Post's Dan Eggen and Julie Tate report: Flanked by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, Bush said that "federal terrorism investigations have resulted in charges against more than 400 suspects, and more than half of those charged have been... - Memo: U.S. Lacked Full Postwar Iraq Plan
Hey! What do you know? For once, the Washington Post deigns to put this kind of story on its front page, rather than buring it somewhere like A18. Walter Pincus writes: A briefing paper prepared for British Prime Minister Tony... - "Liberal" Punditry At Work
While Joel Klein was speaking of the Democratic Party, I think he has reached a point where his punditry has "absolutely no redeeming social value." This man is considered by the mainstream media to be a liberal pundit. That's all... - The Culture of Life?
President George W. Bush says: "I made it very clear to the Congress that the use of federal money, taxpayers' money to promote science which destroys life in order to save life is - I'm against that. And therefore, if... - Protecting Judges
From today's The Note from ABC News: At 8:30 am ET, the Senate Judiciary Committee opened its hearing to examine issues relating to protecting judges at home and in the courthouse. United States District Judge for the Northern District of... - Resign Scott McClellan
Keith Olbermann rightly believes that Scott McClellan should resign for his pathetic performance around the Newsweek story. Olbermann writes: But Monday afternoon, while offering himself up to the networks for a series of rare, almost unprecedented sit-down interviews on the...
