Don't know the right recognition, but PBS ought to be a big winner for its Frontine presentation titled Bush's War. Methodical, overwhelming documentation of the evil corruption guiding this administration. Bush should be impeached; if there are no consequences for his arrogant disregard of the law and the American people, then it will surely be repeated in the future. 4,000 American mothers and fathers who must someday accept their child died for no good reason....

Shocking!

Shocking, I say!

Shocking that the venerable fishwrap that is the Arkansas Times was not recognized for its constant sniping of all things Huckabee over the last year, including its pimping out of years-old stories in the attempt to be relevent.

Shocking!

There's one on bluename for everybody.

I think Max and the AT staff should have received a Pullet for exposing all the Huckabee myths and providing a good source on a presidential candidate.

Hey Red,
If you are, as you have claimed, born after 1973, a young man how do you find time to blog during all the different hours of the day?
Disabled?
Out of work?
Welfare King?
Preacher at a very small church?

Security guard at state Republican headquarters?

Here's another example of why the WaPo should have taken the prizes:

The War's Expiration Date

By Bruce Ackerman and Oona Hathaway
Saturday, April 5, 2008; 12:00 AM

A crucial yet overlooked deadline looms over the Iraq debate: Unless further action is taken, the war will become illegal on Jan. 1, 2009.

Despite protestations to the contrary, Congress clearly understood that it was authorizing the president to intervene militarily when it passed its joint resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq in October 2002. But it did not give him a blank check. It allowed for the use of force only under two conditions.

The first has long since lapsed. It permitted the president to "defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq." This threat came to an end with the destruction of Saddam Hussein's government. It makes no sense to say that it continues today, or that our "national security" is "threatened by" the Iraqi government headed by Nouri al-Maliki.

Instead, U.S. military intervention is authorized under the second prong of the 2002 resolution. This authorizes the president to "enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq." This has allowed the Bush administration to satisfy American law by obtaining a series of resolutions authorizing the United States to serve as the head of the multinational force in Iraq.

But here's the rub. The most recent U.N. resolution expires on Dec. 31, and the administration has announced that it will not seek one for 2009. Instead, it is now negotiating a bilateral agreement with the Iraqi government to replace the U.N. mandate.

Whatever this agreement contains, it will not fill the legal vacuum. That's because the administration is not planning to submit this new agreement to Congress for its explicit approval.

Yeah, Red, what do you do to earn those big bucks it takes to be a Republican? eLwood has a point.

exposing the Bush administration

Congrats to the Washington Post, but we've had nothing but exposing nearly every damn day since Bush took office and yet, Bush is still in office. What's the good of exposing if nothing ever happens? From my reading of the Constitution and the Bill of Ever Decreasing Rights, it's not my duty to bring Cheney-Bush to justice. It's up to our US Justice system of which Congress has oversight to root out the war criminals in the current administration.

If they won't do it, we have 2 choices....sit on our asses and bitch (like I'm doing right now) or gather up sharp things and things that go boom and start heading Northeast from here with due haste.

Angry killer mobs really suck and no nation has benefited in the short term from em. But endless endless exposing of criminal behavior without anyone brought to trial and held responsible is exactly what breeds angry killer mobs. We wouldn't be America...or I should say....back when we were America, we wouldn't have been America without that angry mob that tossed all that British tea into Boston Harbor. Our Revolutionary forces were hardly more than angry killer mobs.

But nah.....it's better to remain sheep....pay no attention to the man behind the curtain....please, single file to the slaughter floor...this is no country for old sheep.....
