This is just messed up: Cheney still trying to claim “ties between Hussein and al Qaeda” Even Wolfowitz says: Iraq had no part in 9-11 or Al-Qaeda. Cheney spends time trying to link Iraq to 9/11, then when asked about Saudi Arabia’s ties to al Qaeda and the Sept. 11 hijackers: “I don’t want to speculate,” he said, adding that Sept. 11 is “over with now, it’s done, it’s history and we can put it behind us.” Uh, so I guess we should just ignore any links to *other* countries that may have attacked us, right?

Middle class barely treads water

Why no press?

Sen. Joe Biden: Instead of killing medicare drugs, skipping the tax cut for the top 1% for one year would just about fund the president’s $87 billion Iraqi request. If Mr. Bush considers these lower taxes for the wealthy untouchable then who instead will make sacrifices?
