Warrantless Wiretapping

Keeping The Press Safe

November 25, 2011

It should be transparent to anyone who has been paying attention….but I'll say it anyway…. the United States is descending further into an authoritarian militarized country which features separate and distinct forms of justice for the haves…and the have-nots. The haves….have unfettered and unquestioned rights. Their money is, in actuality, free speech. Their corporations pay [...]

We're All Neo-Cons Now

October 14, 2011

President Obama's biggest disappointment, at least to progressives, has been his, I guess, "rebirth", as a neo-conservative. During Obama's campaign for the presidency, he made political hay out of George and Dick's offshore gulags, torture of detainees, unprovoked military attacks and occupations of countries posing no threat to America, eavesdropping on Americans without warrants, secrecy, [...]

What 4th Amendment?

May 17, 2011

I was interested in my blog bud's recent post chastising Indiana Supreme Court members for ruling that citizens in Indiana "have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes." In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason [...]

Looking Backward, Not Forward

September 16, 2010

President Barack Obama has stated repeatedly over the past 21 months that he prefers to "look forward, not backward", which meant, and still means, that he didn't, and still doesn't, want to bog down his presidency by illuminating the collossal failures and rampant criminality of the Republican leaders, Bush-Cheney. This gracious gesture on Obama's part, [...]

Nation In Trouble?

April 24, 2010

The signs have been there for some time now. There was the Kangaroo Kourt that Republicans called the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton. It seemed surrealistic at the time. That's because it was. There was the Supreme Court selection of the president in the 2000 election cycle. There have been 3 huge financial disasters in [...]

Busting The News

September 23, 2009

I read a good one from the associate editor of NewsBusters. NewsBusters is a creatively conservative online site usually chock full of fact-free, wingnut postings. First, a quick review… You have probably seen a video clip by now of a sting on multiple ACORN offices by Hannah Giles (playing the prostitute) and James O'Keefe (playing [...]

Schrub, The Terrorist

August 21, 2009

Over the past number of years, whenever I suggested that George W. Bush was actually an American terrorist leader, I was quickly reprimanded by those Serious and Grown-up Conservatives who immediately sought to describe the former president as "protecting us from Islamofascists." Now, former Bush Homeland Security head, Tom Ridge, in a new book, follows [...]

Jane Harman (D-CA): Bush Co-Conspirator

April 21, 2009

From 2002-2006 Republicans controlled Congress by an ever-so-slight margin, so if Bush-Cheney were to be successful in carrying out their criminal plans against America and some foreign countries, it would take the help of, at least, a few congressional Democrats. A prime example of the veracity of this claim is found in Senator Jay Rockefeller's [...]

Righting The Wrongs

January 23, 2009

1) President Obama had a busy day yesterday. From Dana Priest of the Washington Post…. The military's Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, facility, where the rights of habeas corpus and due process had been denied detainees, will close, and the CIA is now prohibited from maintaining its own overseas prisons. And in a broad swipe at the [...]

Taking Inventory

January 7, 2009

Ever work someplace where you had to take inventory periodically? Methods of taking inventory have changed dramatically over the last 30 years with the explosion of digital communications….but back in the day, I did it the old fashioned way….hand counting and tallying on a clipboard. One aspect of taking inventory, however, will never change. The [...]
