Moving commentary

From The Urban Politico - and I can't agree more...

"Tonight (Wednesday, 7 October 2009) Keith Olbermann dedicated his entire hour to a Special Comment on Healthcare Reform. It was very moving and he spoke about his own experiences both with his mother who passed away just this past year and his father who has had some serious medical problems very recently. I think it is a must see."

The whole show is broken up into five parts and it is worth watching every single second of every single segment. The end is so moving it brought me to tears. As it also did for Keith Olbermann.

Do they really know what they're saying?

Outside of Cakewrecks, I think this is the funniest thing I've seen on the web in ages.

David Shuster fills in for Keith Olbermann on Countdown Monday, 13 April 2009... He's commenting on the Republicans and the Tea Bagging Parties they're having around the country on tomorrow, 15 April 2009 - tax day.

Reminding us of what's going on "over there"

For the first time in 18 years, the media is once again allowed to record the return of fallen military members as their flag-draped coffin(s) unload from the plane - as long as the family gives the okay.

We, as a nation, are far too detached from the wars we're involved in. I hope this helps remind everyone and make them question what we're doing in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As The Washington Post's Eugene Robinson says in this interview, "We need to know."

Special comment by Keith Olbermann - BUSH, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

Keith Olbermann outdid himself with his special comment Wednesday night, 14 May 2008. In it he excoriates Bush for his so-called self-less sacrifice of giving up golf because of the Iraq war. Please watch, you won't regret it.

"We will not fear any longer."

Keith Olbermann gives an impassioned and poignant special comment on his show Thursday, 14 February 2008. Please watch it.

these people are crazy!!!

And not in a "had-one-too-many-margaritas" fun way kind of crazy. But actually a dangerous and sociopathic sort of crazy!

Seymour Hersh, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, wrote a recent article in the New Yorker titled "Shifting Targets - The Administration’s plan for Iran"

In Hersh's lead he says... "In a series of public statements in recent months, President Bush and members of his Administration have redefined the war in Iraq, to an increasing degree, as a strategic battle between the United States and Iran."

This is scary stuff going on here! Instead of our government taking responsibility for our role in creating this "war" in Iraq, they are now trying to blame Iran for what ails us in this quagmire of all quagmires. In fact, our government recently voted to classify a branch of Iran's military as a terrorist group (I refer to the Lieberman-Kyl Amendment).

The passing of the "Sense of Senate" makes me ashamed. And!!! I am wholly aware the implications this kind of vote will have toward starting a "war" with Iran.

Seymour Hersh is one of the Administration’s more outspoken critics and has been waaaay ahead of the curve when it comes to calling out their warmongering.

Please take some time to read this very important article. I don't think you'll regret the time.

P.S. You can also watch Seymour Hersh on Countdown with Keith Olbermann here.
