Activists Seek to Evict Souter From Home – Yahoo! News
Tuesday, January 24th, 2006This is actually a great little story, about people upset with the US Supreme Court’s decision about eminent domain, and the thought of using it against one justice that voted for it. David Souter voted with the majority that eminent domain could be approved for private use, when they evicted seven home owners so that [...]
Laura Bush chained to White House stove?
Friday, January 20th, 2006I was debating blogging this, since it just didn’t sit well with me. Well listening to this morning “Air America Mornings with Rachel Maddow” shows that I should have. It’s the disgusting feeling that came to me (and her) after hearing George W. Bush exclaim “NEVER! NEVER!” when asked if Laura would run for office. [...]
Google to Bush Administration: Beat it!
Friday, January 20th, 2006In yet another way to spy on the American people, the Bush Administration has asked Google to turn over search engine records, to which Google said “No way”, rebuffing them. But what’s going on now is that Bush puppet Alberto Gonzales is asking a Federal judge to demand Google turn over the records. Don’t do [...]
Targeting “Radical” Professors
Thursday, January 19th, 2006A right-wing association is offering a $100 bounty for students to record “Radical” (read: Liberal) professors during lectures. It’s just fodder for idiot right wingers who want to smear those that don’t hold their same beliefs. Thing is, California has laws against recording someone without their knowledge – as I’ve personally found out after a [...]
Blackwell to Political Churches: Ignore the IRS
Wednesday, January 18th, 2006With blatant disregard of the law, Ohio Secretary of State and Gubenatorial candidate has told two churches that have participated in partisan politics to ignore the IRS, should the IRS slap them with a bill for taxes due. You can’t have a church be non-profit without paying taxes AND campaigning for a specific political candidate. [...]
Removing the focus
Wednesday, January 18th, 2006In an article, Denny Hastert has tried to deflect attention away from Republican scandals by saying that they may focus on Democrats. Now it’s true that there may be a Democrat here and there that’s broken the law, but when you consider the magnitude of the Republican lawlessness, it’s stupid to focus on Democrats. Biggest [...]
Sen. Reid to staff: TAKE NOTHING!
Tuesday, January 17th, 2006Senator Harry Reid, preparing for his upcoming bill that he will present jointly with Nancy Pelosi in the House, has banned his staff from taking ANYTHING from a lobbyist. Sure you can meet with them, but take nothing! Expect “The Honest Leadership Act” to be proposed Wednesday — with Democrats behind it and Republicans against [...]
And the Oscar goes to…
Thursday, January 5th, 2006The Oscars have always been a place where a political statement can be made – and often does get made. And the statements are almost always in favor of the Progressive agenda. Well it’ll be even that much more fun this year watching, with John Stewart, host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, as [...]
Daily Kos: Author of Bush’s Brain Put On No-Fly list
Thursday, January 5th, 2006Going over the blogs that are interesting, I see this headline scream out at me. Author James Moore is an emmy winning former reporter, and wrote the critical book “Bush’s Brain”, and ended up on the no-fly list for it. Not only is this horrific and wrong, it really sends chills down your back. If [...]
Help an Illegal, Go to Jail
Sunday, January 1st, 2006There’s a nasty part of the recent House boarder-security bill that would make it a federal crime to offer assistance to illegal immigrants. So you’re a nurse driving home from a day at the hospital. You see a hit and run, and stop to help. Turns out to be illegal immigrants – you go to [...]
