Illegal Voting Machines Used in Busby/Bilbray Election

Voting Integrity

I just needed to store the article somewhere.

Who's got the real handicap?

You think you're bad?
Are you bad enough to tell off a blind man?





From Think Progress:

THE PRESIDENT: Yes, Peter. Are you going to ask that question with shades on?

Q I can take them off.

THE PRESIDENT: Im interested in the shade look, seriously.

Q All right, Ill keep it, then.

THE PRESIDENT: For the viewers, theres no sun. (Laughter.)

Q I guess it depends on your perspective. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: Touche. (Laughter.)

Q Following up on the other Peters question about Karl Rove, you said that you were relieved with what happened yesterday. But the American public, over the course of this investigation, has learned a lot about what was going on in your White House that they didnt know before, during that time, the way some people were trying to go after Joe Wilson, in some ways. Im wondering if, over the course of this investigation, that you have learned anything that you didnt know before about what was going on in your administration. And do you have any work to do to rebuild credibility that might have been lost?

THE PRESIDENT: I think that first of all, the decision by the prosecutor speaks for itself. He had a full investigation. Karl Rove went in front of the grand jury like I dont a lot of times. More times than they took a hard look at his role.

Secondly, as I told the other Peter, Im going to tell you, that theres an ongoing trial, its a serious business. And Ive made the comments Im going to make about this incident, and Im going to put this part of the situation behind us and move forward.

21st Century Lynching

I posted this on a Myspace blog of mine a few days ago and then thought "why neglect this blog"?

I couldn't help but scorn myself for missing a screen shot of the front page that lie before me at 6 o'clock in the morning. At washingtonpost.com there was the image of James Cameron founder of America's Black Holocaust Museum, dedicated to educating the general public of the injustices suffered by people of African Heritage in America. Under this image was an article of appreciation and below that his obituary. James Cameron died at the age of 92 and is the only known survivor of a lynching attempt, which occurred when he was 16 years old. As amazing a feat it was, being one of thousands to escape such a fate, a greater spectacle lie in the headlines beside it.

I didn't care that George Bush made a "surprise" visit to Iraq (much like all the surprise sound bites he gives us each morning trying to raise his polls from the 30 percent monster) or that there was another shocking car bombing in Iraq. What I did take note of is
U.S. Officials Detail Zarqawi's Last Hour. Was it sheer irony the Washington post was trying to convey or a mere coincidence the articles lie side by side. A man who survived a lynching decades earlier died only two days after the public lynching of the "the new people of color"'s representative.

Here, at the Washington Post's website, they feed America's bloodlust and decrepit justice by flaunting the body of this dead man. They flaunt this dead man's body and then assure us he isn't human. "Look at what he's done! He's an animal!" Then in the same breath you kill dismiss four others. "They were collateral damage." Followed by a mask of humanity. "We let him die peacefully. Look at this picture of the man. He practically died of natural causes. The bomb didn't kill him and neither did our soldiers" as if it isn't the fall that kills the man but the sudden stop at the end. And they assure us it was necessary. "But it's going to help a lot," (and they dropped the bomb on Hiroshima) "Zarqawi was a loose cannon who gave al-Qaeda in Iraq a bad name with gruesome beheadings..." (and they drove the Native American off their land) "as it is the people's resistance and every youth can become al-Zarqawi" (and they enslaved the African children).

Fortunately for us, we do not have ropes anymore. We do not have museums where bodies have been quartered and genitals displayed of this strange humanoid animal. We no longer have lynched people sold on postcards for a few cents. No, now we have "tolerable" pictures, autopsies, and the mystique in whether or not they shot the man after they bombed him.

The lynching doesn't end there. Just as the lynching didn't stop with James Cameron, as it continued through Emmett Till, as it continues with Zarqawi and as they target Abdel Rahman al-Iraqi and Abu Masari... then Iran then some other non western civilization (because we all know North Korea is bad) who I suppose are only names to us, they'll find someone else. They might be people to some. They might be the next blood stained flag for others.

I am blogging from my phone for the first time

Ok, so this wasn't entirely political. I just never access my own blog on my cell phone and I finally got enough interest to try. My strange behavior will no doubt alert the NSA. I'm not sure if I already poked fun about this but that thousand pounds of explosives didn't kill Zarqowi, maybe the bullets of the soldiers that followed did (just saying). Why use the bombs in the first place other than to give a reason to make more of them if you can't take the man out. I guess that doesn't matter. The war on terror is over. Mission accomplished. Get er done. Now watch this drive.

Please don't be stupid enough to rally behind bush on something like this.

Extra! Extra! Supreme Court Nixes Free Speech!

Did I even mention the Supreme Court took away the power for government employees to speak out against their employer when they see something wrong? So much for free speech.

Let's all jump on the guy who says his superior officer has never done a legal search and seizure in his life :P or better yet let's all jump on the public hospital employee who saw the potential hazard in having a fire extinguisher near the MRI system.

The way America is headed is toward limited liability for the government and corporations and then when they are liable they don't have to give people squat. Forget of, for, and by the people. Let's get this country back to it's grass roots of property owning elitists who'll try to squeeze blood from stone as well as people.

Who needs their laws when you can write your own

Bush Co. ignoring the constitution

Firedoglake cite's a Boston Globe article which dissects the presidential signing statements bush uses to enhance his executive powers. Apparently bush has used this power 750 tmies where it was used 600 times by preceding presidents. George bush never uses his veto power because he never wants to give Congress the opportunity to shoot him down. Instead he writes in these little official notes that say how he interprets the power (even if that interpretation contradicts the law).
So he gets to run around like a maniac practically creating his own laws. Forget seperation of powers. He's got the military, congress and judicial system jumping hoops for the executive office.
