The Washington Post has reported that Bush has ordered expanded Internet network monitoring to stop the stealing of US Government Data by . . . whoever. Of course, we all know where this is going. This is going to be a blanket abrogation of Internet Privacy, along with all the other Rights the Bushies […]
Well, even if Specter voted the right way for the wrong reason, I’m glad he did. The FISA bill was tabled. From Daily Kos earlier today re Specter and FISA; “Specter will vote against cloture because he’s having a hissy fit over his precious amendment not getting due consideration.” Confirmation from Specter’s office via Firedoglake […]
When bitching about the bizarre behavior of Big Media in reporting this Presidential campaign, it’s amazing just how alike the reactions of a White Woman Web Designer in PA and a Black Woman Law Professor in South Carolina are to the antics of The Press, those Big Media shills who are definitely not telling any […]
Congress is back from it’s (semi) recess and the FISA bill which includes a telecom immunity clause is soon to be back up for debate.

I’ve said before on this blog that I’m not crazy about Hillary since her positions aren’t what I wish to see in a Presidential Candidate. I’ve also said that she’s a helluva PERSON since she has to be twice as good as all the other candidates, and make half as many mistakes, just to get […]
Wanted to let y’all know we’re updating today, just in case this blog goes boom. ** fingers crossed **
