At least at my house, it is. How can I possibly celebrate a country that embraces wanton criminality, led by a president who pardons criminals within his own administration? From the Iraq war, to Gitmo, to extraordinary rendition, domestic wiretapping, secret oil deals, signing statements, Abu Ghraib, everything related to Jack Abramoff, politicization of the justice dept, New Orleans, installation of tons of incompetent employees into high government positions (see: FEMA), and the loss of our moral standing, never has this nation seen such reckless and flagrant disregard for the law. And these are only the scandals that we know about. There are likely hundreds, maybe thousands, that have not yet surfaced.

This 4th of July, I will be staying home, and mourning the fate of this great nation.

I see nothing to celebrate.

Last night on 60 minute, as noted here by the Washington Times, Nancy Pelosi again "pledged" that "impeachment is off the table".

This reiterates statements that she made in May of this year saying the same thing. Is this an election year ploy, or is she serious? Read More

Bush just gave us more ammunition to use in 2006. In fact, our best strategy to taking back the house and/or senate could probably be our most simple as well. So what is this strategy I speak of? Read More

Seriously, what does it take for some Americans to realize how completely incompetant and outright callous this administration is?

What is truly amazing to me is that even with this administration's track record of failure and incompetance, a huge portion of American's don't seen to get it, or don't seem to care. Read More

Remember around August 15th that a plane to Canada was diverted to another airport because one of the passengers lost his Ipod in the bathroom lavatory? The story is recounted here if you need a reminder.

Often we only hear the story from the media's point of view -- but in this case, the main suspect involved is a World of Warcraft player, and he posted about his experiences so you can read what happened first hand. Read More

According to the latest poll,, Bush is back at a 33% approval rating, which is a huge drag to his party and their chances to get re-elected in both 2006 and 2008. At one time, Bush had a lot of cards in his play-deck that he could use, but more recently, it's come down to one plea: Vote Republican, because the Democrats are weak on security.

This diary is going to show you how, in a few logical steps, we can totally disprove this assertion in a way that even political neophytes can follow.

Over the last few days, with the release of the stories about more tax cuts for the rich, rifles pointed at peaceful protesters, and the government recording my phone calls, I've finally admitted to myself an incredible conclusion.

Allow me to share this journey with you. Read More

Going along with Armando's recent diary outlining how the Dems need to stand up and call for a timetable on Iraq, I just received an email from Barbara Boxer doing exactly this. She is intending to deliver a petition to the white house in September, sponsored by herself and Russ Feingold, calling for a timetable for removal of troops in IRAQ. This is vitally important to Democrats -- if we are not heard on this issue, the Republicans will be able to claim the removal of troops was due to their "success" in Iraq.

I received the following email from DEMS-BLOGLIST@LIST.DEMOCRATS.GOV:

Today at the National Press Club, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid introduced a common sense agenda for the common good. After moderation triumphed over polarization in the Senate, Democrats are moving forward with a positive agenda for the American people.
