Mukasey Demands Congress Ignore Constitution

The illegally held detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are slowly starting to have their day in court.  And thanks to an unexpected ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, the court in question will be a U.S. Federal Court.
In a recent ruling, Boumediene v. Bush, it was determined that the detainees were not being [...]

Visualize Gonzo’s Testimony

On April 19, 2007, a corrupt and dishonest Alberto Gonzales testified before Congress regarding the dismissal of six U.S. Attorneys in 2006.  His prepared testimony contained numerous falsehoods as well as obfuscations, deceptions, and several outright lies.
A recent project at IBM called Many Eyes, has put a new spin on the way we can [...]

Obama Seeks End to War

In a move sure to embarrass both Still President Bush and the presumptive Bush Clone John McCain, Barack Obama has secured the agreement by the de facto Iraqi government to have US troops out of Iraq by 2010.  18 months rather than the 100 years promised by the Republicans in their greedy quest [...]

Tom Cruise, Hollywood Has Been

Tom Cruise has recently been making a lot of headlines, but not as a headliner.  With his acting career overshadowed by his space alien affiliations, Tom has become just another aging, mediocre actor.
In the opinion of many, Tom’s career peaked with his 1983 portrayal of Joel Goodsen, the manic undies-clad pimp in Risky [...]

Obama’s Cash Surplus Grows

It looks like the presumptive Democratic candidate is not hurting for funds.  Raising about $52 million dollars in the month of June alone, the war coffers of Barack are only slightly less bulging than his erstwhile opponent, John ‘Bush II’ McCain.
Both candidates have racked up impressive contribution figures, but unlike McCain and his [...]

Kucinich Perseveres in Impeachment for Bush & Cheney

A most unlikely hero has emerged to protect and defend the American way of life against the forces of evil.  No, I’m not talking about Hellboy, I’m talking about Ohio Congressman and former 2008 Democratic presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich.
For more than a year Kucinich has labored to bring Bush and Cheney to justice [...]

$cientology Shows Poor Judgement in the Face of Adversity

Last weekend marked the 6th monthly protest by Anonymous against the Cult of Scientology. Their objective was to expose the dangerous and secretive Office of Special Affairs (OSA) within the Cult, whose sole objective is to silence critics both within the cult and in the general populace (that means you!).
In two cases this past weekend, [...]

A Tale of Two Photos

A colleague of mine had an interesting ‘run in’ with a Google Street View car this morning on his way to work and the Iranians apparently have discovered Photoshop, but don’t actually have anyone who can use it well.
Here is a photo and a link to my coworkers web site.  As you can see from [...]

McCain Promises Balanced Budget in 4 Years

Citing wasteful spending and entitlement programs, such as Social Security, as the cause of our budget woes, John McCain has promised to balance the budget in just 4 years.
McCain seems to be firmly in the grip of senility if he thinks that he can extend the Bush tax cuts, pile even more tax [...]

They Said It On Late Night TV

Jay Leno:   "Hey, big scare today for Barack Obama. His airplane had to make an unscheduled landing because of mechanical problems. While the pilot was steering to the left, the plane was apparently drifting to the right."
