This was only a matter of time: TSA screener Rolando Negrin is facing assault charges in a case that involves the controversial, full body scanners being adopted in airports as part of increased security measures. The images produced by the powerful x-ray scanners–detailed enough to show breast implants–have been compared to “virtual strip-searching.” Negrin reportedly […]
In an “exclusive” published by TMZ they claimed to have “never before seen” images of JFK on a boat filled with naked woman. Oh the shame! Here’s the image: TMZ is claiming the photo is from the mid-1950’s, but there is a big problem. That exact same photo appeared in Playboy in 1967 as part […]
In case you have missed it there is a sudden shortage on aluminum foil. It has been bought up by wingnuts in order to prepare their latest hats. I am talking about the case of a British university’s server being hacked and approximately 160mb of data and email being leaked. The server that was hacked […]
That is the mugshot of an 18 year old who got busted driving under the influence (incidentally only a few miles from my house). Apparently his Halloween costume was a big hit. If you can’t make it out, he is dressed as a breathalyzer. This bit of local funniness has made The Smoking Gun

Well on the My Yahoo/The Smoking Gun module, this is how they show it: So it’s Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the adviser is Sidney Blumenthal so they put a picture up of Bill. Very interesting choice there.
MissLaura pointed out this interesting paragraph from a Washington Post article: Vice President Cheney today repeated his charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s approach toward the Iraq war would benefit al-Qaeda, saying that he was not trying to impugn the speaker’s patriotism but instead hold her accountable for the consequences of her policies. O.K. I’ll […]
One thing is for certain – Bush has used the federal government as a political pawn more than any other President. Here is even more proof of it: During a whirlwind five-hour trip to bolster an endangered GOP congressman’s reelection prospects, White House political guru Karl Rove last week delivered a fiery speech to 500 […]
Not the person who told us about WMD’s in Iraq and constantly said the smoking gun for Iraq would come as a “mushroom cloud”.

Damn those archives of […]
