The year in Corruption
A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful folks over at TPMmuckraker. They have taken the time to build a list of who’s who in the world of political corruption. Their standards were strict, which is why Karl Rove didn’t make the cut. They insisted on proof positive that the individual was guilty of corruption..and sadly, [...]

in review and hope for the future
Ahhh… 2007 in review. For me, personally, 2007 has been a tough year. For many I have talked to- from online friends to my life long friends- 2007 has been a tough year. Many losses this year. This was a year that started out with great promise and ended with frustration [...]
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
It’s New Year’s Eve and just about every blogger I know is reflecting on the year we are leaving behind.

Image is everything..even to the CIA
Check out this article at the NYT today. Its all about how important image has become to the boyz and girlz at the CIA. Seems the CIA was paranoid that Abu Zubaydah would die whilst in their custody, so the following is what they did to protect their ‘image’:

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Wow. Another year is coming to an end.
I’m going to be ending this year in the same way that I ended last year (same what and where), with one notable exception. I’ll be working my musical magic on New Year’s Eve, just like I did last year. But, this year, SSG Dizzy [...]

– George W. “Decider” Bush, and Richard “Waterboarder” “Deadeye Dick” “Deferment Dick” “Lawyer Blaster” Cheney. As the two responsible for the policies that led to all of the crimes committed in every theater we’ve been [...]

Creators Syndicate, 12/28/07
