Re: CIA to blame in Honduras, says Chavez

For once this actually doesn't seem like a CIA thing... I need to know more. All of my progressive friends are foaming at the mouth calling this a coup, it looks like the president was removed legally. WTF?

Re: Obama NAU is something cooked up by bloggers

I like it when these folks get a microphone on TV like this. But they gotta be WAY more concise. The amount of explaining that guy got into increased his perceived kook level as he droned on. If you ever get this opportunity, be poignant, concise, stick to key words.

Re: Oliver Stone movie "W."

Heard it made Bush look like a well intentioned country goof. Made it look like WMDs were incompetence rather than conscious lies. Yes, that's certainly true.
