Plunderbund

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich equated bilingual education Saturday with “the language of living in a ghetto” and mocked requirements that ballots be printed in multiple languages.
Cross another GOPer off the list. These guys are so thin in the ‘08 Prez race it’s kinda sad really. Earth to Salamander Man […]

In need of a sheriff indeed:
(CNN) — The recent wave of defaults in the subprime mortgage sector that sent shocks through Wall Street has caught the attention of Congress.
More than 2 million people with subprime loans are facing foreclosure this year and nearly 20 percent of subprime mortgages issued between 2005 and 2006 are projected […]

Site got hacked today by some little bitch calling himself Kartal. No, an entire district is not gunning for Plunderbund - just some little script kiddie bitch with nothing else to do. Got everything back to normal. No real damage done. Just a bit of pixel grafitti:

To which I replied:

Strickland is sticking to his guns on the charter school stuff. His only line-item veto on the Transportation Budget Bill was the part allowing charter schools to start their own bus service.
From the Strickland press release:
Strickland also announced that his only line-item veto would be a measure that would allow charter schools to […]

Update to this post.
OK, so it turns out you have to look really REALLY close to figure out how to read Joan Mazzolini’s article online. Apparently the stuff that looked like shilling would…because they are Bennett’s words verbatim (or his lawsuit’s words). Joan just made it look online like they were hers due […]

Dennis Kucinich voted against the war the first time- and he continues to vote against any additional funding.
Hell- he seems to be the only one.
We’re talking about $300 billion of OUR tax dollars here.
He gave a nice little speech on the house floor about it- in which he said:
“This war has sacrificed the lives of […]

Update: See this post for an update on how the PeeDee print to web translation got FUBAR.
This can only be one of two things: 1. Horribly incompetent journalism or 2. Outright shilling for the GOP. In an article about Bob Bennett suing to keep his job on the Cuyahoga County […]

If you still can’t grasp the importance of the US Attorney scandal, I present to you current US Attorney, and former Bush “opposition research” man, Tim Griffin:
One film scene of the debate-night frenzy captures the prevalent attitude in national politics. As he directs the investigation of Gore’s statements in real time, Griffin, standing next to […]

Today’s dispatch from Neverland:

Suicide bombers kill 60, injure scores in Baghdad market
Three car bombs kill 30, wound 74 north of Baghdad in Diyala province
Iraqi police find 25 bullet-riddled bodies across the capital

I have a place where dreams are born,
And time is never planned.
It’s not on any chart,
You must find it with your heart.
Never Never Land.
It […]

Put this on a loop and you basically have Hades in a nutshell:

It’s been scrubbed now to something far less incendiary, but the AP used the word “insurgent” to describe Ned Lamont.
“The effect of the timeline would be to “snatch defeat from the jaws of progress in Iraq,” agreed Lieberman, who won a new term last fall in a three-way race after losing the Democratic nomination to […]

I’m not exactly sure why Scott Pullins is even registered as a lobbyist for the General Assembly.
But, whatever the reason, it isn’t free.
And Scott Pullins still hasn’t paid his fees for April through Aug of last year.
Like Monica said: “Most responsible people pay their bills”

Wow. Just wow. Americablog pointed out this little gem:
McCain, appearing on NBC’s “Today” show today from Orlando, said the war “was badly mismanaged. But there are signs of progress everywhere. … I am confident that given the opportunity, we can have success. The consequences of failure are catastrophic because if we come home, […]

John McCain recently claimed that things were so good in Iraq that you could walk around without protection and that generals routinely go out with unarmored humvees. Michael Ware begged to differ saying:
I don’t know what part of Neverland Senator McCain is talking about when he says we can go strolling in […]

Bush withdrew the nomination of Sam Fox today- his choice for Ambassador to Belgium.
Fox, as you may remember, gave tons of cash to the Swift Boat Veterans group who help torpedo John Kerry’s campaign for president.
Don’t worry Sam- I heard there are a lot of US Attorney positions opening up.
Here is the full […]
