Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Petraeus and the Rule of Law. When Petraeus was given the top post in Iraq, I was skeptical about him. My feeling at the time was that we needed to get out, the sooner the better. Petraeus, on the other hand, was gearing up to fight a counterinsurgency, which meant that we would be in Iraq for an indefinite amount of time. A few weeks ago Thomas Ricks spoke at Amazon. Since then I've been reading The Gamble. Ricks' follow up to Fiasco. To me, that argument doesn't appear to hold a ...

Urobori: September 2008
http://urobori.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. Stunning defiance for GOP, stunning compliance from Dems. The House of Representatives voted on Monday to reject a $700 billion rescue of the financial industry . in stunning defiance of President Bush and Congressional leaders". Finally the populist soul of the Democratic party was awakened. I don't know why I'm so surprised. I mean, it takes effort to get your approval rating down to 14%. Why stop there, Democrats? You're only 4 points shy of the record-high disapproval.

Monday, April 6, 2009. Easy played a great double-header Sunday against Badger and Pan-Galactic Groove Squad. Both games were great, both games won by 3 points or less, and Huckin' came out on top both times- nice! Also, everyone from all the teams had great spirit. This resulted in some less-than-glorious nicknames for the remainder of the game, including 'Stinky,' and 'Mr Poopy-Pants.'. It also resulted in the following cheer:. Charlie Brown had a dog named snoopy. When Nevin plays he wears a jock strap.

Urobori: October 2008

Monday, October 20, 2008. War-enabler endorses Obama, will take part in his administration. Obama never challenges the assumption that the surge worked, although there is ample evidence. To the contrary. He never challenges McCain's and Palin's assertion that stopping funding for the war is the same as betraying the troops. What do they think will happen if there is no more money for the war? Will President Bush order soldiers to fight without bullets and food, or will he bring them home? Exactly how sho...

Urobori: January 2009
http://urobori.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 17, 2009. A day about town. Today was a normal Saturday, I made some calls, got a haircut, went shopping. Before I get to that though, I have to say one thing: banks are evil. I am deeply unhappy about bailing them out in the way that we are. The last time things were this bad our new President had this to say:. Hell, yes, and thank you, Franklin for saying that better than I ever could. That is exactly. How I felt talking to Chase last week. I don't know how that's not illegal, but it'...

Friday, June 27, 2008. Feingold excoriates new FISA bill, threatens filibuster. Last week I wrote about the FISA "compromise" that just passed the house. Two days ago Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) gave an interview to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now on that same topic, and spoke with the clarity and moral conviction that Democratic Party leaders and Presidential candidates are so desperately lacking. Is available from Democracy Now, but here are some of the more devastating quotes:. Not only can the Democrat...

Friday, October 16, 2009. Miniblog: In which I am irked by NPR's political reporting. NPR (probably Steve Inskeep) just referred to Jay Rockefeller as being "in the liberal wing of his party.". That's true. If there's one thing us liberals love, it's companies getting paid in tax dollars to illegally eavesdrop on Americans, then using some of that money to pay Senators like Jay Rockefeller to get them off the hook. That is one of our core liberal values. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
