Remembering the Suppressed History of 9/11 and Israel
September 11, 2006
Very odd. Following 9/11, over 200 Israelis were arrested, identified as likely Mossad agents, and eventually deported. The deportations without espionage charges aren’t unusual, Israeli spying in the U.S., and vis-versa, are by gentlemen’s agreement not prosecuted as such and treated as immigration status issues. That is the way it has been for many years.
Does The Republican Party Hate Ted Downing? Yep.
September 10, 2006
FINAL UPDATE: The State GOP has admitted paying for the robocalls and Downing recieved matching funds that he is using for a robocall of his own to set the record straight. Looks like Ted stepped on some sensitive GOP toes while in the legislature. My money is on Jan Brewer as the source of this
We Won’t Have John Bolton to Kick Around Anymore..
September 9, 2006

Shooting Doves on 9/11
September 6, 2006
Occasionally, something comes to represent and reveal far more that was ever intended by it’s authors. I believe that this is one of those things.

Drinking Liberally 9/7
September 6, 2006
It is time once again for Liberals to attend that institute of higher citizenship we call Drinking Liberally. As usual we will be meeting on Thursday evening starting at 6pm at The Shanty in downtown Tucson at 4th Avenue and 9th Street at the underpass.
