"I appreciate the leadership of Congressman Tom DeLay...."

"The single greatest failure of the Bush administration's foreign policy concerns North Korea. Mr. Bush's policies toward North Korea have backfired and led the North to churn out nuclear weapons, and they have also antagonized our allies and diminished America's stature in Asia." (full article "N. Korea, 6, and Bush, 0" from The New York Times)

Meanwhile:

Iraqi insurgency far from 'fizzling' - "Experts say insurgents have retaken momentum as politicians 'dither' over cabinet posts." (Christian Science Monitor)

"Weapons Inspector Ends WMD Search in Iraq" (and related: "Inspectors Find No Proof Iraq Hid Weapons in Syria", so WTF has the last two years of nonsense been about then?!)

and in Afghanistan:

Radio Taliban - can I get that on Sirius or XM? (via Joey)

and at home:

Enrollment in Army ROTC Down in Past 2 School Years - which is helpful for when a real war might come up (not).

"The American flag was appropriated by the political right wing years ago. Now the Christian right is trying to hijack religion." (full article "Hijacking Christianity..." from The Washington Post | related: Frank Rich on the the "High-Tech Lynching in Prime Time" of this past weekend's "Justice Sunday" in The New York Times)

And also related:

"The Republican campaign to breach the wall between church and state is having a corrosive effect on policymaking and the lives of Americans." (full article "The Disappearing Wall" from The New York Times)

So how many different reasons do I now have to say fcck George Bush (and Tom Delay) for?

On a brighter note though: respect Alonzo Mourning's gangsta.

But for every good thing... please tell me that (the mostly black and hispanic) foster children in NYC were really not the unwitting victims of illegal and toxic experimental HIV drug testing? How can this have even been allowed to happen after the US's shameful history going through the terrible experience of the Tuskegee Experiments? And maybe just as important, why did this story only break Monday on the front cover of free paper am-newyork when the BBC had aired a story about this last November?! Man, fcck the MSM too.
