Zbigniew Brzezinski, a political scientist and geostrategist, who served as United States National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981, talks about the failed and self-destructive Bush policies in the Middle East and around the world. He criticizes McCain by saying that his policies virtually guarantee a total isolation of the United [...]

One could only wish that it was Glenn Back that Matthews was talking to, calling him on his BS, or Rush Limbaugh, but exposing a right-wing radio talk show host like Kevin James for what he is will do too. It’s hard to believe that people like that are free to spew such nonsense and [...]

Matt Lewis of TownHall.com seems to be afraid of Obama’s message of change and, as every conservative, prefers to embrace the old and the same, however dysfunctional it may be. In other words, he wants Hillary Clinton to be the democratic presidential nominee, because for republicans, the old news is good news, and usually, the [...]

Keith Olbermann discusses with Bill Moyers the “media biases”, simplifications and sound bites that characterize the modern-day MSM. Moyers explains how people have become more aware of the media manipulations and hence developed the ability to reach nuances that not so long ago were considered either as black or white, good or bad, acceptable or [...]

“I think the real problem here is for the Democratic Party, the party itself has sort of lost control of what is happening in the battle between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama and I think Mrs. Clinton crossed a serious line in the USA Today newspaper”, says Noonan, referring to Hillary Clinton’s comment about her [...]

“Senator Obama is making the point that politicians sometimes take an easy solution such as the suspension of the gas tax but it’s not going to provide any real relief for people. So Senator wants to provide a real relief. I think that he’s speaking the truth and I think that people are listening”, says [...]

Former US Secretary of Transportation in the Clinton Administration Federico Pena explains why the “gas tax holiday” offered by John McCain and Hillary Clinton is nothing but a gimmick and political trickery. “The real solution is what Barack Obama has proposed — increasing the fuel efficiency of automobiles, getting the nations of the world, who [...]

“My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East”, McCain said. Then he tried to “clarify” his statement [...]

Keith Olbermann discusses the latest Clinton’s theatrics as she tries to convince American voters that her energy policy will be better than Obama’s and she will do everything she can to lower gas prices. Teaming up with John McCain and offering a summer “gas holiday” for all is supposedly the first step.
Here’s a better idea. [...]

John McCain has made the same mistake a few times in a matter of just one month, which the MSNBC panel finds troubling and rightly so. Whether there is a pattern or not, everyone can agree that no one would like the next US President to mistake allies for enemies, Sunnis for Shias, Israelis for [...]

To paraphrase the election catch phrase from 8 years ago, “Bush is the kind of guy you can have a beer with”, apparently “Hillary is the kind of lady you can ignore the bills with.” But, of course, there is but. Be mindful that she can eventually loan herself the money (however that works) or [...]

As one might expect, they are depressing, but let’s focus on the 1 Trillion Iraq War for a second.
A Trillion Dollars = 1,000,000,000,000 One Dollar Bills
Current estimates put the number of stars in the Milky Way at somewhere between 100 and 400 billion.
The United States has not existed for a trillion seconds.
Even Western civilization has [...]

Kudos to Tucker Carlson for putting the whole issue into some reasonable perspective with help of Al Sharpton. Sometimes the quality of the media coverage really depends on who you invite to the show — Tucker and Al basically speak with one voice about the issue at heart here, or rather, non-issue that’s blown out [...]

Tucker Carlson together with the MSNBC panel analyze Hillary’s comments that quite frankly resemble perfectly Bush’s approach to reality, more or less, since the start of the Iraq war — denial, assumption that facts don’t matter and math doesn’t matter, moreover, stance that what advisers say matters most and finally, the best and most tricky [...]

Keith Olbermann’s special comment, usually addressing the Bush White House and Republicans, was a surprise. The honor of being reprimanded by Keith, through whom the liberal and progressive voice of America is spoken, this time went to Hillary Clinton. Whether Hillary will like the idea of being in the same club as Bush and Chaney [...]
