How to Help Prosecute Bush for Two Minutes

By David Swanson

Vincent Bugliosi’s best-selling book, “The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder” may be about to become more than a book. A viable candidate for attorney general of Vermont has committed to appointing Bugliosi as special prosecutor to immediately indict Bush, Cheney, Rice, Tenet, et alia, if she is elected. Her name is Charlotte Dennett, and she and the future of the rule of law in the world need you to send every dime you can spare to her campaign.

Trump Should Be Fired as a Citizen

By David Swanson

Donald Trump told Wolf Blitzer on CNN on Wednesday that Bush should have been impeached for lying us into a war, and that he was surprised Nancy Pelosi hadn’t done it. This was the first time CNN had invited a guest on to say that, even though it’s been a majority position in America for years. And they didn’t invite Trump on to say it; Trump caught Blitzer by surprise and challenged the host on his dishonest defense of Bush.

But what sort of a slow learner is read more

What If God Loses the Election?

By David Swanson

God wants John McCain to win the election. I know because I hung out with a bunch of his supporters at a Sarah Palin rally on Monday and they told me. But it looks very likely that McCain will actually lose the election. Which raises the obvious question: If God doesn’t get what he wants, will he take his toys and go home? Please?

Wouldn’t God be happier working his wonders in private individual lives where he’s better able to have his way? When things go read more

Lies, Damn Lies, and Polls

By David Swanson

David W. Moore, who worked for Gallup for 13 years as managing editor and senior editor of the Gallup Poll, has a new book out denouncing most polls by Gallup or anyone else as useless, and explaining that this became obvious to him when he first began work at Gallup, raising the obvious question of why he stuck around for 13 years. The explanation seems to be that he was trying to fix the problem, and one of the motivations for the book seems to be that he believes he still can read more
