Washington and California are about to join only 3 other states in enacting tougher cell phone use laws.  Starting next week both states have outlawed the use of cell phones without a hands-free headset while driving.   In California, you can get pulled over simply for having the cell phone held up to your […]

John McCain is trailing in almost every aspect of every poll.  He and his staff are desperate to try to find some topic upon which to build a campaign.  With all of the topics available, with all of the issues that American’s are dealing with on a daily basis, the McCain campaign seems […]

As our Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, continues to insist, there is no reason to imagine that the sub-prime mortgage problems will result in the same level of global crisis that the Enron scandal did just seven years ago.  Mukasey has gone on record as saying that "…he did not feel the mortgage crisis […]

In a stunning move for the fight against the Cult Church of $cientology (Co$) one of their rank and file members has assaulted a peaceably protesting member of Anonymous.  I can only assume that the Christian value of ‘turn the other cheek’ has little or no value to a $cientologist.  (What am I saying, of […]

As much of the world watches breathlessly, Barack and his crew are working to pick a Vice-Presidential candidate that will have uncontroversial mass appeal.  They are hoping to pick someone who can be shown to have the appeal and therefore the backing of major demographic groups.
We know that the Clinton’s are not on […]

In an unprovoked verbal attack on yet another sovereign nation, our Still President Bush has told Iran that all options are open to him as courses of action to thwart their nuclear ambitions.
Hoping to garner support among the few European leaders who are not ignoring him, still President Bush wants more punitive measures […]

Is what Jon Stewart calls "The Long, Flat, Seemingly Endless Bataan Death March To The White House" finally over?  Have we finally seen the last petty sniping between Democrats?
And more importantly, do we have time to heal our party from the horrible machinations of the Clinton’s and their rabid quest to […]

Rather than concede gracefully and get back to her full time job as kibitzer in the Senate, Hillary has been continuing to campaign for the Democratic Nomination.  What madness is this?
Why is she continuing to run her campaign into the ground?  The last figure I can find puts her at $20,000,000.00 (that’s twenty […]

Christ, it sounds like a boyish schoolyard dare.  The presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain, has challenged Barack Obama to go to Iraq and check out the ‘facts on the ground’ within the war zone.  McCain is more than likely hoping to see a change in Obama’s war stance should he go to the […]

The race for the Presidency is heating up between Senators Obama and McCain as the two opponents vie for voters from the important swing states of Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado.  Focusing on the issues that many Americans feel are the most important, like the illegal war in Iraq, both candidates show very […]

A 16 year old boy was arrested during a peaceful protest in front of the $cientology Headquarters in London on May 10.  His crime?  Carrying a placard that read "Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult."  After being confronted by police officers, the youth cited a British court judgment from […]

Between the abhorrent racist remarks and the sexist overtones to this campaign there has been almost no respite since day one.  Someone, somewhere, has been ready to play one of the two cards in almost every commentary of the candidates and the contest.  But the question remains, is the reason that the Clinton’s […]

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’ve wanted to see an Obama/Edwards ticket for this November.  I think that reality has just gotten one step closer.
Reversing an earlier decision to remain above the fray, Senator John Edwards has publicly endorsed Senator Barack Obama for president.  I’m sure that there are many […]

The RIAA has contended that the simple act of making music files available to file sharing programs like KaZaA constitutes infringement. 
In fact, in this particular case, Atlantic v. Howell, Judge Neil V. Wake had originally granted the RIAA a summary judgement against the Howell’s.  This judgement was based upon the premise that […]

In a surprising turn of events, TV stations in North Carolina will not be airing an ad that attacks Presidential hopeful Barack Obama. Featuring snippets from the infamous ‘God Damned America’ video by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the ad has been deemed too offensive and to ‘racist’.
It’s about time that someone said no […]

Take an opportunity to sign a petition and document of support against the atrocities that the Chinese occupiers are conducting against the subjugated Tibetan People.  Click HERE.

That’s the take of the English news rag, The Independent.  The article published yesterday in The Independent is called "Clinton victory extends Democrats’ civil war".
Thinking bout that headline has caused me to reaffirm my comment from yesterday, "I am becoming afraid that the party division that Hillary is cramming down our throats will […]

Here’s an interesting factoid…  Rather than paying the recording artist their due the RIAA spent 2.8 million dollars last year lobbying in Washington for stricter copyright laws and and overall better legal climate.  Without that climate they certainly couldn’t have extorted more than $200,000 dollars from that woman who downloaded 24 songs off […]

Alberto Gonzales, ex U.S. Attorney General and long time lackey of George ‘Dumbya’ Bush, seems to be having a little problem finding a job.  After his abortive career as a target for student dissent while speaking on the campus tour circuit, Alberto has been looking for a real job.  And he hasn’t found one.
Working […]

The European Union Parliament passed a resolution yesterday calling for all European countries to boycott at least the opening ceremonies in Beijing this upcoming august 8th.  The resolution further demands that China re-open negotiations with the Dalai Lama regarding the controversy surrounding Tibet which has been unlawfully occupied by the Chinese for the […]
