California is still a hue of royal blue in the bloody bruise that exemplifies partisan U.S. politics. But with the ludicrous and often homogeneous plans suggested by members of the so-called "right" and "left," California voters have only grown to embrace their right-to-choose in a people's democracy. Californians who choose not to register as a red, blue, or third-party voter -- "Decline to State" voters -- comprise nearly one-fifth of the state's registered voters according......

According to an MSNBC online poll participated by over 16,000 people, Texas Congressman Ron Paul won the GOP Michigan debate in a landslide. Sister-station, CNBC, who hosted the debate also had an online poll but they, like Pajamas Media, took it down when they saw that the most conservative congressman in office was winning by such a wide margin. When asked who they thought was standing out from the pack, Paul, who favors the......

The TelePromTer-readers and out-of-touch-hate-mongers of the mainstream media thought that they were being super-cool by discussing/bitching about the presidential candidate debates that were posted on YouTube. So since that new, interesting, and youth-vote promoting aspect of the next election has been talked to death by the talking-heads, I have found these candidate related webpages to occupy me during my early in the ante meridian down-time: At SuperBook.com, you can go to their "Exotic Lines"......

Today the worst president ever got to share his thoughts on the worst AG ever, and the lies seethed out like snakes from Medusa's slithery scalp. This morning Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced that he will leave the Department of Justice after two and a half years of service to the department. Al Gonzales is a man of integrity, decency and principle, and I have reluctantly accepted his resignation with great appreciation for the......

The President's right-hand man, Karl Rove, the mastermind behind most of the Republican dirty tricks that got Bush in office twice, as well as the puppetmaster behind so many of the scandals that the GOP is still smarting from, is tapping out early. By the hair of his chinny chin chins he escaped having to testify under oath when his boys got caught outting a CIA agent in the middle of a war because......

Oh, ouch. That's gotta hurt: There's one vote that Rudy Giuliani definitely can't count on in his 2008 presidential bid: his own daughter's. According to the 17-year-old Caroline Giuliani's Facebook profile, she's supporting Barack Obama. But, wait, it gets better: On her profile, she designates her political views as "liberal" and—until this morning—proclaimed her membership in the Facebook group "Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack)." According to her profile, she withdrew from the......

Yes, they're claiming the subpoena has to do with Mike's recent trip to Cuba for the filming of "Sicko," but it's hard for me to believe that there are no other underlying motives: Filmmaker Michael Moore revealed on Thursday's "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno that the Bush Administration had served him with a subpoena regarding his recent trip to Cuba made as part of his new film, Sicko. Moore told the audience that......

Who woulda thunk? In the latest episode of BBC Radio 4's Document, host Mike Thomson investigates a purported coup orchestrated by Prescott Bush and several influential American families that sought (but obviously failed) to overthrow FDR and institute a fascist dictatorship in the U.S. of A a la Hitler and Mussolini: "Document uncovers details of a planned coup in the USA in 1933 by a group of right-wing American businessmen . The coup was......

More video snippets of Bush administration "truthiness" about the war in Iraq than you can shake a stick at... If this doesn't push you over the edge and make you at least consider the prospects for impeachment, I don't know what will (h/t to Juan Cole).......

Visiting the Richard Nixon Library in Yorba Linda used to be as much an edifying journey through the 37th president's life as an exercise in fact-checking and second-guessing. The room dedicated to covering the Watergate scandal, for instance, treats you to several nuggets of wisdom that make you wonder whether you were really awake in that history class you took a while ago. Consider this: did you know that Watergate was actually nothing more......

Chin up buddy, at least they're spelling your name right. Tan Nguyen's name has been in the press a lot the last few days. Earlier today, GOP Congressional hopeful Nguyen was asked by the OC Republican Party to stop running for Congress after reports came out that Spanish language letters had been mailed out to 14,000 Democrats claiming that they would go to jail if they voted and were found to be immigrants or......

Despite claiming that he had nothing to do with the Spanish-language mailings that threatened immigrants with prison or deportation if they voted, the Orange County Republican party today asked Congressional candidate Tan Nguyen to quit running. Nguyen explained that he did something totally out of step with the Bush administration -- he fired a rogue staff member. "Evidently, an employee took it upon herself to allow our database to be used to send out......

In a secret contest to see which Republican can implode the freakiest, this afternoon's winner is clearly Nevada GOP Congressman Jim Gibbons, who while running (and winning by ten points, if you believe polls) threatened to rape a casino waitress during a drunken "party" at an upscale steak joint. The woman, a cancer survivor who sounds like a younger Courtney Love made three 9-1-1 calls alleging that the Congressman threatened her life. Close behind......
