A Modest Proposal

Mr Cheney,
I hereby challenge you to a test of torture.  Over the course of a few days, I will have trained professionals administer enhanced interrogation techniques to you.  You will be subjected to nothing stronger than we have subjected the detainees that we have held in the War on Terror to.  You will be waterboarded, [...]

The DHS Starts Ripping Off Really Bad Star Trek

And this is how you know that your government exists only to transfer taxpayer funds to their pals — witness: an Electronic ID bracelet that also stuns misbehaving passengers.
Someone at Homeland Security is actually thinking about this device that you’d be fitted with when you check in; that will somehow also be coded to [...]

If you haven’t read this…you really should

Do quotes like this scare you?

“You can’t really repair anything that is broken until you establish security,” said Lt. Col. Dan Barnett, commander of the First Squadron, Second Stryker Cavalry Regiment. “A wall that isolates those who would continue to attack the Iraqi Army and coalition forces can create security conditions that they can go in and rebuild.”

I thought I would let you know…

The terrorists won.  I think when the President suspends the 4th Ammendment as a country we really should pack it in. 
Couple that with the fact that no one in our country is even a little bit outraged (those that matter at least) pretty much makes their winning a slam dunk. Bin Laden 500 [...]

and now a few words from your pResident

Presiden Bush yesterday was at it again trying to urge Democrats to pass a $100,000,000,000.00 spending bill.

Stricken from the Record

Since 2001, over a million records in the National Archives have been hidden from view, due to fear of terrorists.  Here is a fun quiz to see what sorts of things have been removed.  Some of the documents were available for 100 years.  I just find this silly…
