A few days ago we asked whether or not Bush Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. was either a liar or simply befuddled when he didn’t remember being a member of the Federalist Society… now it seems that John Bolton has the same problem and forgot that he had “been questioned or provided information [...]
– wouldn’t do something like blacklist a humanitarian worker for apparently telling a story that runs counter to popular American propaganda. At this point I am ashamed of our governments stance on this.
While having my morning coffee and muffen and reading today’s Metro I came across an article titled “Bus drivers get hints on spotting terrorists” – the drivers here have been issued a US published pamphlet that offers them tips on how to spot terrorists…. I’m an OCTranspo regular rider, I see lots of “interesting” characters [...]
As you may know, both Stageleft and I have personal and professional connections to the Arctic. So when Mattel announced the impending release of their “Inuit Heritage Barbie“, we were, of course, agog with anticipation. It is my sad duty to report, however, that “Inuit Heritage Barbie” fails to serve as the cultural breakthrough we [...]
Last month balbulican brought the “Bush says U.S. seeks to eliminate torture worldwide†article to our attention – in case you were wondering that’s the what they say part of the post.
This month I bring you the ‘we’re not satisfied with just pissing off the Dems and looking for more’ what they actually do [...]
While looking through the logs tonight to see if folks found us though interesting or creative web searches we came across this…. in the Daou Report on Salon.com of all places.
– and yes, we did take a screen shot
Please help us condemn those nasty people who are giving material aid and comfort to the insurgents in Iraq who are making things so rough for us.
Realistically I know it won’t really help what’s going on there but it will give the impression that you’re behind what we’re doing and right now we could use [...]
– calls for withdrawal from Iraq constitute helping the enemy. According to an amendment to a State Department bill
“Calls for an early withdrawal embolden the terrorists and undermine the morale” of U.S. and allied forces and put their security at risk,
Which is just another way for the US government to state that disagreement with their [...]
Fringe activists held a midnight kabbalistic ritual in an ancient cemetery calling for angels of death to kill Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and thwart his Gaza withdrawal plan, participants in the ceremony told WND.
The same individuals used the ritual against Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin one month before his assassination in 1995.
The activists [...]
The next time you visit the website of Microsoft Corp. to download some software, be prepared to let the world’s biggest software company have a look inside your computer.
In a determined strike to quell the proliferation of counterfeit software, beginning today, Microsoft will require that all customers coming to its website for upgrades and other [...]
This sort of thing doesn’t get the time it deserves in the western press because if it did the various politicians and (Right)WingNuts would lose a significant talking point – couldn’t have that now could we? I mean really, without all Muslims being evil, freedom hating, terrorist backing, America haters how could they possibly fight [...]
I took a few minutes to watch Discovery take off this morning (flipping back and forth between CBC and CNN) and, aside from wondering how they keep those cameras mounted on the boosters steady at 4500 mph, two thoughts struck me:
Why did CNN cut to whining about Jane Fonda’s anti-war tour less than 4 minutes [...]
– “indirect incitement” of terrorism, in these parnoid times how far does one take it, and possibly more importantly, do you trust your government to make that decision?
On the 18th we posted about CIA “extraordinary renditions“ which are basically covert international snatch and grab projects, today we read that Italy has issued 6 more arrest warrants for “suspected CIA agents accused of helping to kidnap an Islamic cleric in 2003″ – the total now sits at 19 warrants for the kidnapping….. [...]
What do you think?
Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. has repeatedly said that he has no memory of belonging to the Federalist Society, but his name appears in the influential, conservative legal organization’s 1997-1998 leadership directory.
He’s either lying or befuddled – either case probably makes him unfit for the job
