Taking a HARD look at the Business of Politics

Again, I’ve not in the past been over-thrilled with Rocky Anderson. He’s mostly a “little too out there” among other things.
But this time, I think he’s right with calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheyney - regardless that Dick Cheyney’s rather a “Mr. Bumba” of a VP, relatively harmless (unless he’s pointing a […]

The website Federal Spending dot Org has posted at least a good chunk of the 2006 numbers for who received dough from the Federal Budget. If you’ve never been to the site, it’s a pretty amazing compilation of who is bringing home the Federal Bacon to their State, and which organizations and corporations have received […]

According to an article in the NY Times today, Bush’s assertions and evidence of Iran meddling in Iraq, presumably so he can use it as an excuse to start another lucrative war for his buds to profiteer on, are being met with nothing but skepticism.

The Annotated Rant has done it again, this time with the Post State of the Union Rant entitled “President Bush is a Fucking Moron“.

And also, at /. — my favorite […]

In a victory for free speech, federal prosecutors withdrew a subpoena against the ACLU, a subpoena that would, if allowed, have successfully buried all copies of a leaked government document currently in the hands of the ACLU and its attorneys.

New rules require screening of all facts and interpretations by agency scientists. […]

If you think we should jump on this particular bandwagon you need to know two things–
First is that EVERY terrorist involved in 9/11 was carrying a legitimate form of ID.
Second is what the RealID REALLY MEANS.
If we don’t head shit like this off before it gets a toehold, our Bill of Rights is just so […]
