Another day of SPP talks and protests, another mindboggling quote from CCCE president Thomas D’Aquino. In reference to the protesters’ displeasure at the fact that elected representatives and the public aren’t being consulted on the SPP, he said:
I do not say to myself, ‘If I don’t get an hour with the prime minister in the [...]

I have a lot more photos from the protest here, so check them out.
The media can’t really explain it. The governments of three countries have been very vague about it, to the point where most elected representatives don’t know what it is. And yet, some people seem rather upset about it.
Until a few days [...]

You know who doesn’t normally have a lot of power? A dude actively disliked by over 60% of his supervisors.
Someone should really tell that to the idgit Democrats in Congress, though, who bluster about rights and justice and then bend over and stuff a poster tube in their ass to give the Republicans better [...]

Every cloud has a silver lining. The best part about any needlessly reactionary legislative battle is waiting for the unintended consequences to pop up. Like remember when a bunch of states made vague anti-gay-marriage Constitutional amendments and now it’s harder in those states to get a DV conviction if you’re not married to [...]

Terrorists could strike again at any moment — you don’t, nay, CAN’T know when it’ll happen again.
We were caught completely unawares by the villainy on 9/11… except for those memos floating around indicating plane-based attacks by al-Qaeda were imminent. Oh, and those briefings in which certain a “high level” government official [...]

If Ricky Bobby taught me one thing, it’s that America is for winners. You win, you reap the rewards. You lose, you deserve the kicking-to-the-curb that’s coming to you.
Don’t believe me? Just ask the US government, who’s knowingly taking advantage of soldiers so bad at their jobs they couldn’t keep [...]

American troops in Iraq have killed a lot of people — some on purpose, some on accident. Anti-war voices can, must, and do emphasize the incalculable enormity of the tragedies our war policy has inflicted on the dead and their families. But we should also remember that state-sponsored murder doesn’t just produce victims. [...]

Space, the final frontier. These will be the voyages of some other country’s ship, possibly that of a country that didn’t blow its wad on a trillion dollar war back when dollars were actually worth something.
NASA may not be able to launch the space shuttle’s replacement by 2014 as promised, according to the agency’s [...]

You’d think their party’s horrible mismanagement of an unwinnable war built on deceit would make it difficult for aspiring Republicans to step into the presidential arena with tough talk and promises of delivering a super-sized helping of liberty to all the flag-waving disadvantaged youth of the world.
If anything would dissuade a rational person [...]

In war, like in home redecorating or computer upgrading, your initial guess about how much money and time you’ll be spending is always a bit low. Part of the reason it’s important to set a strict budget for yourself is so that you have a baseline against which to judge how insane you are [...]

Welcome to the new USPS! Formerly the United States Postal Service, the only (official) moneymaking sector of our government has re-christened itself at the behest of the Bush administration as the Unnecessarily Sneaky Privacy Shitter-on-ers:
The White House on Thursday defended a policy allowing the government to open mail without a warrant, despite criticism that [...]

Good news, friends! ABC’s going to blame Clinton for 9/11.
From the NYT, via TPMI:
Days before its scheduled debut, the first major television miniseries about the Sept. 11 attacks was being criticized on Tuesday as biased and inaccurate by bloggers, terrorism experts and a member of the Sept. 11 commission, whose [...]
