How bad -- seriously -- how fuckin' bad of a President must you be to inspire a well-known and very under-rated rock band to GO POLITICAL?!? -- something they've never done in the 40 years they've been together ... and sound very modern while doing it?!? The above is aptly titled "Liar" and comes from "The Newz", Nazareth's first studio album in 10 years. The lyrics pull no punches ... Illiterate

Sorry for the lack of posts in recent months. To be brutally honest, I'm burned out on Politics and the MSM and invest most of time now pursuing other personal interests, one of which is a new half hour SkypeCast/PodCast called A Corrupted Kids Show -- just 5 sick, twisted, and perverted people having a little fun with off-the-wall news, headlines, and special guests. We've completed two shows

TBT was just brute-forced over to the new Blogger this morning and I noticed that I had about 9 comments from people that were left unattended by me between now and around Christmas time. Yikes! Sorry guys -- I was getting too much Anonymous spam messages and have since set comments to be pre-approved. Comments within Haloscan are unaffected, though. With that said, the next post should be

A friend of a good friend is missing his daughter. She's roughly 13 and ran away with another teenage friend. Time of disappearance seems to be around March 13 or so from the Casselberry, Florida area. For more details or information on leads, call the number in the pictures or visit the worried father's blog here.

Over the course of the last week or two, a couple of leftwing bloggers received jobs with the John Edwards Campaign -- Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon and Ms. Shakes of Shakespeare's Sister -- and it raised the hackles of William Donahue of The Catholic League who, as far as I'm concerned, would've had a promising carreer in managing professional boxers had it not been for his doppleganger Lou Douva

Despite announcing my slow return to blogging a few weeks (months?) back, there's a lack of posts lately on TBT that have made people think otherwise. It isn't because I've ran out of things to say. Far from it. It's more or less a combination of things -- the home life is a complete and total hell which is too long of a story to sort out let alone post about, my own mental and physical health is

It's interesting that Republicans have basically admitted to an entire global audience that they were *IN FAVOR* of the Geneva Conventions *BEFORE* some thing or event caused them to vote *AGAINST* them and that thing/event is nothing more than The Decider's brownshirted "Global War On Terror". This is evidenced by the emotionalistic and Freeper-esque argument that since the terrorists are

Bush also confirmed he would boost the size of the US military to cope with the "long haul" of the war on terrorism and that he told Gates to get to work on the issue and report back "as quickly as possible.""I'm inclined to believe we need to increase in the permanent size of both the United States Army and the United States Marines," he said.Bush Warns Of New Sacrifices In IraqAgence

Coming out of my spider hole briefly here to address something that is less than one month away -- the November Mid-Term Elections.

When I was about 12 or 13 years old, a Detroit radio station 96.3 WHYT (now called WDVD, I believe) had a jock by the name of Waite. During his shift, he'd have a segment called "Waite's Complaints" where people would call in and air their dirty laundry and get a snark-filled replay from Waite. He would take the best of the lot and edit them seemlessly for a quick 30 second broadcast over the air

Forget all about the A-list blogs. That's right. Forget all about them. Let John Aravosis suffocate himself with orchids, let Kos run around fluttering orange as if he were Simkin of Thimhallan, let Jerome Armstrong hide under his computer desk from the SEC, let Armando pretend to be a leftwing smiley face spreading corporate love to all the good little boys and girls, let The Rude One run it all

Robert Thompson presses the Chimp, courtesy of Axis Of Logic:Mr Bush is only wanted by most Europeans in the dock at The Hague, together with his acolytes, and not wanted at meetings where all he does is to demand that other countries should follow his criminal lead in destroying freedom and democracy in any country too weak to resist his military might.The idea of Herr Decider squirming in the

On top of that, our phone service, provided by Talk America, has recently been shut off.

Jane at Firedoglake got into a steel cage match with NRO's Byron York. Of course, York was being a completely tool like always and I agree with Jane for the most part until she made this analogy in her defense: It’s a "fixation" we use to "attract readers." Yes, it’s called capitalism. Free enterprise. The opposite of wingnut welfare. It’s what happens when you create a good product and

Since Charter Communications usually sends out their outsourced contractors on weekends to disconnect service, it's possible that they could show up in the next 48 hours to pull the plug. Granted, they haven't been around since mid April, but that's probably because of the feedback they've been getting either from my posts here or thru the grapevine. However, every weekend for the past month,

AmericaBlog has been WHACKED from my "Truth Disciples" Blogroll. Why? Well, the reasons are long and quite documented here if you wish to do a seach in the box off to the right, but the final nail in the coffin came upon reading that someone (I wonder who) complained to Blogger about AravosisBlog -- a parody blog that emerged in the wake John Aravosis's recent "Joe Kline Moment". Gideon with the

Going to go rapid fire here, so hold on tight. First off, Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to fellow "Other Republican" William Jefferson of New Orleans to step down from the Ways and Means committee. Jefferson tells Pelosi to take a flyin' leap:Leader Pelosi:I have received your letter of this date requesting my immediate resignation from the Ways and Means Committee. With respect, I decline to do

In the ongoing investigation into the NSA Spying Scandal, WIRED News the other day leaked the documents of former AT&T technician and whistleblower Mark Kline. Fearing the the documents would be scrubbed for violating potential court orders, I snagged a copy of the damaging PDF and took a good long gander at it. Despite the fact that one of the entrances to "Secret Room 641A" being accompanied by

The latest onion peel in the NSA spying scandal prompted a sound smackdown by Glenn Greenwald that I can find only one nitpick with, but it isn't worth wasting time and bandwidth on since it's more of a gripe than anything (and surely not Glenn's fault - hey, sometimes, even a potential truth tends to piss me off ... just not always on a frothing rant).However, Billmon's response to it gives me
