Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course."

I think Mr. Iacocca is a mite perturbed, at George.

Borders - Feature - Where Have All the Leaders Gone?

The entire quote is: "I think that nobody wants to play chicken with our troops on the ground." Why would FOX leave out the first four words? Or why not at least include "nobody"? There's plenty of room. I'd love to say that this was a mere oversight, no malicious intent. Their track record, however, doesn't assuage my suspicion.

I don't normally link to a full object at Crooks & Liars, I do read them pretty much every day, but I don't grab the whole damn thing. This one is another story. Take a look at the graphic and try to tell me FOX News, and I only use that term because that's what they've registered themselves as, isn't more useless than crap.

Sorry, "more useless than crap," isn't adequate. Actively destructive to the country. Cancerous to the public discourse. Thrown feces in the national well to cause cholera in public at large. And someone wonders why the Democrats have said go screw to a debate hosted by them.

Crooks and Liars � Open Thread

The World Bank Group Staff Association is demanding that Wolfowitz step down.

"The president must acknowledge that his conduct has compromised the integrity and effectiveness of the World Bank Group and has destroyed the staff's trust in his leadership," the association said Thursday. "He must act honorably and resign."

When your girlfriend loses you your job, you know you've got relationship issues...

Bank Staff Asks Wolfowitz to Resign | The Huffington Post

Mr. Kelner did not give any explanation for the e-mails missing from Mr. Rove's account, but he did acknowledge that one possible explanation is that Mr. Rove personally deleted his e-mails from the RNC server.

Mr. Kelner also explained that starting in 2005, the RNC began to treat Mr. Rove's emails in a special fashion. At some point in 2005, the RNC commenced an automatic archive policy for Mr. Rove, but not for any other White House officials.

Hmmm... Would this be... Pat Fitzgerald placing requests maybe?

But it turns out there's a hole in Kellems's story. The FT is reporting that Wolfowitz personally directed the terms for his girlfriend's large pay increase and promotion, according to a memo to the head of the Bank's human resources.

Ah, it's so nice to see Murray Waas's report from a week ago bear bitter fruit. Cronyism rears its ugly head further.

Imus initially was given a two-week suspension, to start Monday, for calling the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" on the air last week, but outrage continued to grow and advertisers bolted from his programs.

Oops. This is right on par with Jimmy the Greek losing his job for the slaves comment or Cosell getting the axe after "that little monkey gets loose, doesn't he." Stupid.

In another e-mail exchange revealed during the investigation of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a White House official was described as warning that "it is better to not put this stuff in writing in [the White House] . . . email system because it might actually limit what they can do to help us, especially since there could be lawsuits, etc." Abramoff responded in an e-mail that the message in question "was not supposed to go into the WH system."

So not only are we looking at missing documents, based on this comment we may be looking at something specifically used to avoid exposure of potentially illegal actions? This is nuts.

White House E-Mail Lost in Private Accounts - washingtonpost.com

The White House said Wednesday it had mishandled Republican Party-sponsored e-mail accounts used by nearly two dozen presidential aides, resulting in the loss of an undetermined number of e-mails concerning official White House business.

It's easy to blow things up by accident, but this has deviated into surreality. What's next? The photo of W giving the speech on the Abraham Lincoln stops showing that great big "Mission Accomplished" banner stops showing the banner? Oh wait, it did! (all the way at the bottom of the page)

Congressional investigators probe why White House aides used GOP-sponsored e-mail accounts | The Huffington Post

A number of election law experts, based on their own research, have concluded that the accusations regarding widespread fraud are unjustified. And in this case, one of the two experts hired to do the report was Job Serebrov, a Republican elections lawyers from Arkansas, who defended his research in an e-mail message obtained by The Times that was sent last October to Margaret Sims, a commission staff member.

Voter fraud? Bullshit. Not there. Voter supression/intimidation? Hell yeah.

Hey Republicans? Bull Connor would be proud of you.

Panel Said to Alter Finding on Voter Fraud - New York Times

Birkhead, a 34-year-old California photographer, then hugged his rival, Howard K. Stern, who has been caring for baby Dannielynn since Smith's sudden death in February.

The hearing was a pivotal moment in the battle over who gets custody of the girl, who could inherit a fortune from the estate of Smith's late husband, J. Howard Marshall II. Although Birkhead is the father, Stern's name is on the birth certificate. Another custody hearing was scheduled for Friday.

Does this mean we're heading for a real life version of "My Two Dads" with a half billion dollars at stake?
