Remember Dan Rather's report on Dubya ducking military duty. Turns out it was true, of course. And much worse than Dan reported.
Kentucky state government prevents state employees from reading left-leaning blog, while leaving all the right-leaning blogs available.
Nice rant on how the Dubya administration is slowly but surely setting up a police state in the name of national security.
Nothing really new here, but a good read nonetheless.
An actual Republican actually stands up to the other Senators and criticizes them for avoiding serious debate on the War on Iraq.
It's been literally decades since doctors realized that being gay wasn't a mental illness. I guess nobody told the military. They still classify it as a mental disorder along with mental retardation and personality disorders.
Nice article on why racial profiling won't make our planes safe.
Remember back in May 2005, when Cheney said the Iraqi Insurgency was in its "last throes?" Cheney doesn't. Well, he does, he just interprets his own words differently than, say, a rational person.
Proposed bill in Ohio would outlaw all abortions, even those meant to save the life of the woman or to end pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
As if that weren't enough, it also makes it a felony to transport a woman across the state line to obtain an abortion in a sane state.
Honestly, why would any woman ever vote Republican? Ever?
Long and detailed explanation as to why the Republicans win elections and Democrats don't. (Despite the Republicans failing at absolutely everything they try.)
Now the government is going to start data-mining social networks like MySpace.
Illegal? No. Creepy? Oh yes. Especially considering the number of convicted pedophiles at DHS.
A U.S. appeals court is upholding the government's ability to tap into your high-speed Internet access.
They know you're looking at this.
Do you really need to provide ID in order to fly? Well, no, you don't. And you might even get through security faster.
So, what do you get if you make a FOIA request for your phone records that the NSA has been tracking?
A denial, of course.
This is a difficult blog to categorize. It tracks the neocons, so is of interest to liberals. But it's run by a gun-toting female fan of Buchanan; definitely not a liberal.
Folks desperate enough, or foolish enough, to get an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) are now feeling the squeeze of rising interest rates.
As these folks lose their homes, the holding banks, who really don't want to be in the real estate business, will dump them on the market, eventually bringing down prices. Crash!
The mayor of New York City wants to track each and every legal U.S. worker by DNA or fingerprint.
And he doesn't see any difference between this and a Social Security card.
Sheer lunacy!
The government provides flash cards to prospective citizens to help them bone up on US civics. Question 80 goes like this:
Q: Name one right or freedom guaranteed by the first amendment.
A: The rights of freedom of speech, of religion, of assembly, and to petition the Government.
Notice anything missing? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Freedom of the press, maybe?
Former AT&T technician Mark Klein is the guy who blew the whistle on AT&T snooping on phone calls for the NSA. In this article, Klein lists out the documents supporting his claim.
The FBI admits that it uses phone records to track down the folks trying to tell you the truth about the Dubya administration.
So, what is the NSA doing with all those phone call records? Fighting terrorism? Nah. They're using them to determine who's leaking info about their illegal actions to the media.
