“Responding” to the British Memo
Tuesday, May 17th, 2005Wow — so the White House isn’t going to hide it’s head in the sand over the memo saying they were falsifying intelligence data to make the case to go to war with Iraq? And they’re responding to it? Well if you read the responses — you’ll realize it’s NOT a response. [...]
Good article on Harry Reid
Thursday, May 12th, 2005There’s a good article on Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid that says it like it is — much like the man himself does. Since Reid took over, like when Howard Dean took over the DNC, there seems to be some backbone building in the Democratic party. Reid supported Barbara Boxer during the confirmation [...]
Questions for DeLay
Thursday, May 12th, 2005You have to get a chuckle out of the list of questions put forth to Tom Delay in an article in The Sun News. It’s good to know that this is finally getting mainstream press coverage. Tom DeLay is as bad as the vermin he used to exterminate, and he’s only gotten worse [...]
NC Pastor Who Pushed Bush Quits
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005After he led a sermon saying, “If you don’t vote for Bush, you should resign or repent”, and then last week declaring his church a politically active church and told people who didn’t like it to get out, Baptist Pastor Chan Chandler resigned his post. He’s divided his church and divided his community.
He has [...]
National ID cards — US and UK both
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005It’s not just the US that is heading down the big brother path by mandating national ID cards. The UK is also pushing for them as well. Both the US and UK know that it’s an infringement on our civil liberties. So why are they both pushing it? I’d expect this [...]
Trying to Legislate Biggotry
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005A radical religious right group is taking time out of trying to force the US into a theocracy, and try to put forth a constitutional amendment in California to ban same sex marriage. These people, from groups with “family” type names, say marriage needs to be protected.
If they really wanted to protect marriage, they [...]
Rule By Threats
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005I was perusing an article on the Alaskan Legislature being told to come back after they were supposed to adjourn, and the following sentence drew my attention:
The stakes are high: The governor has threatened to veto hundreds of millions of dollars in construction projects unless the Legislature passes the Senate versions of both the workers’ [...]
Bush Scares Politically Motivated (DUH!)
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005Former Homeland Security head Tom Ridge just admitted that changes to the US’ threat level was often done by the White House for political motivation. This is something that the rest of us have known for a while, but that is now confirmed by Ridge. You’ll remember that there were a lot of [...]
SS Reform on a smaller scale
Tuesday, May 10th, 2005It’s funny watching a small state (population wise) like Alaska, because everything that happens on a large scale in the US will end up happenning on a small scale in Alaska. That’s why it’s no surprise that
Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski is now pushing to dismantle the State Public Employees Pension Fund and trying to [...]
