The Pentagon, no matter who is in charge, knows how to waste money. Add Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and you have the perfect storm of abusers and deniers. Add a Republican Congress and you have no one calling anyone out for any wrong doing, no oversight hearings, for 6 years.
Running 2 wars at the same time calls for efficiency. Resources need to be protected. I'm not saying I want Democrats to run everything, that's not good either, but check out this film and see what happens when the Republican-led Pentagon's wasteful spending goes unchecked.

Olbermann Getting More Popular
Via Huffington:MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" beat Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" in the key Adults 25-54 demographic for the first time ever last week.
"Countdown" averaged 477,000 viewers (A25-54) vs. O'Reilly's 472,000 (excluding Tuesday's primary coverage). This marks the first time that MSNBC has beaten Fox News in O'Reilly's 8pm time slot since June 2001.
I would love to see Keith and Billo head-to-head in a real debate. Bill is great at shouting at his guests and making old white guys feel scared, but his intellect is highly questionable.
Let The Games Begin
This evening on the House floor, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is presenting 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush to Congress.

Students Cause Unemployment Spike According to GOP
The Labor Department reported today that the unemployment rate rose from 5.0 percent to 5.5 percent in May, the largest monthly spike in more than two decades. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao’s explanation?
“Today’s increase in the unemployment rate reflects the fact that unusually large numbers of students and graduates are entering the labor market.”
Elaine, doesn't this happen every May? Should they not be looking for jobs? I would love to see how unusually large this year's graduating class is. I call bullshit.
The unemployment rate reflects how poorly Bush has guided the economy, spent way too much, neglected to collect the taxes to pay for anything, increased our debt making the dollar weaker, thus making imports like oil more expensive, which is doubled by Bush's shit foreign policy/never-ending war/stroking the Iran invasion/taking the oil companies' dick, in turn, increasing the prices on everything, which much to your denial, has slowed the economy and caused lay-offs and higher unemployment.
The GOP, with it's head up it's ass, foreseeing McCain has no clue how to turn thins around, is trying to somehow see how they can pin this on Bill Clinton.

What Conservative Think Of McCain
Arch-conservative Bay Buchanan suggested that it may not matter what McCain does. Writing in Human Events on June 4, she declared:
"In reality there is only one candidate. Barack Obama. In November he will win or he will lose. John McCain is relevant only in so far as he is not Barack Obama. The Senator from Arizona is incapable of energizing his party, brings no new people to the polls, and has a personality that is best kept under wraps."
