The other shoe has dropped in the Barry Bonds steroid scandal as today federal prosecutors formerly accused the former Giant of obstructing justice and lying under oath. "I'm surprised," John Burris, one of Bonds' attorneys, told the AP, "but there's been an effort to get Barry for a long time. "I'm curious what evidence they have now they didn't have before." Even the president of the United States chimed in - thru a proxy.......

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......

While you were being yelled at yesterday by the lifeguard not to run by the pool, Maxine Waters was celebrating the opening of the nation's first Impeachment Center (8124 West 3rd Street), a place that has suddenly grown in interest in the wake of President Bush's recent controversial move involving Scooter Libby's conviction. Waters said that this impeachment movement, "is one of the most important efforts this country has ever seen." Indeed, some say......

Wow. So a friend emailed this You Tube video to us, and it seriously shows why our country is in serious danger. The President's response to how people view, perceive and judge him? Keep expectations low, haha. That, and he says he “steers clear of TV” -- no offense to Brian Williams -- unless it's baseball. That's like saying I steer clear of red traffic lights or food unless it's a liquid. Which maybe......

Remember last month when President Bush was in Florida and he spoke at an event and afterwards told a man in a wheelchair "You look mighty comfortable"? Well Mr. Observant topped himself this morning when he chided Los Angeles Times reporter Peter Wallsten about his sunglasses. (video via Crooks & Liars)THE PRESIDENT: Yes, Peter. Are you going to ask that question with shades on? Q: I can take them off. THE PRESIDENT: I’m interested......

Both the LA Weekly and the Los Angeles Citybeat take deep looks at what the immigration debate and protests are really all about for people in Los Angeles. Andrew Gumbel goes macro and wonders if March 25th will become the watershed moment that brings Americans closer together. Daniel Hernandez zeroes in a bit and wonders why the old folks in the news media aren't giving the kids a chance. Meanwhile, Earl Ofari Hutchison continues......

Four years. For some, this feels like it was a lifetime ago. For too many Americans, however, the fateful morning of September 11, 2001 feels like it was just yesterday. Whether you were at Ground Zero, a coffee shop in Los Angeles or walking along the streets of London, the world as we knew it changed that day. While it was unquestionably one of the darkest hours in America's history, it also served as......

Even though the Presidential election is long over and no matter what your feelings on the outcome, one thing is for sure: The President has gotta eat. And who is in charge of what the President eats when he is kicking it in the west wing watching the latest monster truck race on TV? The White House Executive Chef, of course. Why is this relevant, you may wonder? Well, it seems that two of our......

The L.A. Times reported yesterday that President Bush is planning a campaign trip to our state in order to raise money and bolster the campaign of GOP Senate candidate Bill Jones. He will make appearances with Governor Schwarzenegger as well as with Jones. The President lost to Al Gore in California in 2000 by 1.2 million votes.
