Bravo to Bush and all those patriots who said eavesdropping was vital to national security. In the Orwellian world of the Bush administration, the flag waving, constitution shredding obsession of so called “patriots,” Americans now have the pleasure of knowing that NSA has listened to US citizens.

John McCain’s rush to Washington to save our economy has only caused delay and damaged the bailout. A  bailout agreement was on the table before McCain landed and when the maverick arrived on Capitol Hill he managed to slam dunk it into the trash. What a maverick.
As McCain traveled to Washington, he probably missed the [...]
