I remember these guys from the first YouTube debate.  After that I looked up all of the questions they submitted and some were really funny. Some were really lame.

I think these guys also have  an internet show? maybe? Does anyone know?

 Anyway, for Christmas, they got former Senator Mike Gravel. The clip is pretty bizzarre. I'm not sure what to think of it. Some of it is kind of funny. But it also isn't very favorable to Mike Gravel.

What do you think?

Yeah, I was raised Jewish, but now have a Christmas tree. I'm not one to judge, but for whatever holiday you celebrate, have a good one.

With that, enjoy the music. Um, some foul language and shaky video ahead:

As Christmas arrives, the message and wish for peace is even stronger.

Here is a classic flashback of history made in pop music.  

Two very different generations coming together with one excellent message.

Enjoy!

By now, four years into Bush’s “war” in Iraq, it should be abundantly clear to everyone, even his minority hardcore base, that every reason Bush gave publicly for invading Iraq was a lie.

Saddam Hussein had no “WMD”, no ties with 9/11, no plans to get his hands on yellowcake uranium (remember those 16 words?), nothing, nothing at all.

One by one all of Bush’s assertions about Iraq’s threat to American have been proven to be lies.

So why did he do it?

Why did he knowingly send our troops out to be killed, mortgaged the future of our children and grandchildren to pay for his “war”, and in doing so jeopardize the entire American economy. What is it that Hussein had that made Bush disregard the future of America? What? The answer is one that seems so obvious now in retrospect that everyone should know it: All Bush ever wanted was Hussein’s oil.

The White House ups the ante in its Iraq War funding fight with Congress by notifying 100,000 civilian employees of a possible furlough just in time for Christmas.
