MAD or NUTS Take Your Pick, It Might be IRRITATE

The opener is pretty much all you need to know in trading off the ‘fair and balanced’ position of this article co-authored by Israelist Louis Rene Beres and his warmongering buddy, Major General Paul (surgical and fast) Vallely, U.S. Army (retarded).

Congress Drops White House Demands Along With Its Pants

In the dance this administration orchestrated over the still-warm corpse of American values, ‘abhorrent’ has come to mean ‘offensive to the mind, but allowable.’ Most of us were flim-flammed by the wording, victims of adminispeak; in common context, the synonyms are repulsive, detestable, obscene and repugnant.

Free Speech Becoming Too Expensive

First it was going to be term limits, everybody’s silver bullet for political corruption. Then it was lobbyist legislation. Next, the big buzz-word was campaign-finance legislation.

The Case for Not Waiting Out This Presidency

It’s almost too apparent to compare current refusals-to-submit of the Bush-Cheney White House with the bad old days of Richard Nixon stonewalling similar inquiry. Both used ‘executive privilege’ as an excuse to ward off the evil minions who would do them dirt—dastardly organizations like the House of Representatives, the Senate and the courts.

Homeland Security Down the Toilet

My gut tells me it’s probably a good thing the Department of Homeland Security is feeling the heat again. I hated that communist sounding Slavs-in-a-wheatfield name anyway.

Of course he is only a black man and it is Georgia.

Stop Me Before I Self-Destruct Again

Like lemmings headed off a cliff, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors sent their emissaries to Congress, demanding equal rights among themselves to pound the final nails into their collective coffins. Lacking a sensitivity for irony, no one among the various Senators being strong-armed handed out ‘Been There, Done That’ tee shirts.

Why Internet Gambling is Hazardous to Your Health

You probably wondered (as I have) what makes Internet gambling worthy of federal indictments and possible multi-decade prison terms.

What won't they make illegal next?

Limping and Stumbling, Inevitably Toward Impeachment

President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America. Individually and certainly collectively, these three have committed impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors, as noted in the Constitution.

The Curious Case of Alberto Gonzales’ Credentials

A  couple of interesting commentaries have surfaced lately, since Gonzales was caught flat-footed in the middle of the fired U.S. Attorneys controversy. One of them is by CBS News legal analyst, Andrew Cohen, another by James Moore, co-author of Bush’s Brain.
