April 19th is the date of the “big” 2nd Amendment March on Washington, where the foolish who think Obama will take their guns are set to descend upon the nation’s capital fully armed. Now that date may sound familiar, and for good reason. That is also the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing (as […]
Oh you got to love the racist contributors at Townhall, the number one neo-con source on the internets. Chris Kelly over at HuffPo picked up on some of their latest slime: Take Michelle Obama…please.

Perhaps this from the WSJ Blogs gives a good reason: If there’s any doubt about the importance of getting a record of Senate investigative interviews, consider the case of J. Steven Griles. Griles, the former deputy Interior secretary, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Washington today to lying to Senate investigators when he […]
That is the headline of an AP article today. At first read you start to think “great – here we go again with pork barrel spending”. It sends a feeling of “bridges to nowhere” encompassing my body. But when you read the article, you find out that is not the case at all. While Democrats […]
Why does Bush hate American farmers? They clear brush just like him!: The United States Congress risks a presidential veto if it approves a multibillion-dollar disaster aid package for farmers and ranchers, the White House said on Tuesday, ahead of a Senate vote on the question.

It’s no secret that privacy has been under serious attack this year. I have documented numerous cases here, and now we have a new one for the files: In a breach of privacy, the Republican National Committee erroneously e-mailed a list that contained the names, races, and Social Security numbers of dozens of top Republican […]
