Not to revisit recent topics, but I must say that I really am amazed that the mainstream press has finally started talking about the Downing Street Memo. More than two months after the memo was leaked, the so-called “liberal” media has finally gotten around to covering it, albeit not with much enthusiasm.
Not that they came [...]
Since George W. Bush took office his secrecy with respect to the media has been unprecedented. He rarely holds press conferences, and on the rare occasions when he does, his answers are constantly obfuscated by double-speak and misdirection. Thus it is for good reason that the blogosphere and independent media became suspicious when little known [...]
The quotes below are taken from a New York TImes article from Feb 19, 2005. Doug Wead is a personal friend of George Bush. During the course of writing a book about then future president he secretly recorded some private conversations.

I would like to add my voice to the millions of Americans who wish to remain in good standing with the rest of the world by distancing themselves from the conservative radicals who are running this country. This morning a friend sent me a link to a website called sorryeverybody.com, and while I am deeply [...]

Today, the Democratic party, and every coward who was too [...]
