Fellow bloggers, readers, and friends, the secret to getting your clicks up appears to revolve around posts that insinuate Cheney is, was, will be, or might have been a liar or putting it politely and mildly, a mis-speaker.

Rep. John Conyers has called Karl Rove to account. Rove must come before congress and testify about the firing of united states attorneys on partisan grounds.

Scott McClellan, President Bush's former press secretary, is out with a book, and low and behold he tells much that was not told before.

The Bush administration says it aims to hand over a more stable and secure Iraq to the next U.S. president, but does not seek to "bind" the incoming administration to a set course in the country.
