News and opinions you may have missed, as well as the thoughts and observations, ramblings and musings, rants and raves, and other long-winded comments of a politically opinionated gay man in the red(neck) state of Texas.
Colbert was fuming last night over this week's edition of Newsweek that suggests President Bush is relying on his father's close advisors to save him from the quagmire he's gotten us into in Iraq.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public." — Theodore Roosevelt
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” — President Abraham Lincoln
"Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things... every one! So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor." — Matt Santos, The West Wing
