America’s Top Priorities

It is hard to figure out exactly what the priorities of Bush Administration really are since they are covered with so many layers of obfuscation and double talk.  Thankfully though, that administration’s days are numbered.  Not even W would be so arrogant as to think he doesn’t have to leave the White House after the [...]

Where Does It End

We have already had a call on the floor of the US House of Representatives this week calling for impeachment of President George W Bush, with on of the sited laws broken was his refusal to comply with federal rulings against him.  Now for the third time the Supreme Court of The United States [...]

Are You A Criminal

It is most certainly election season again and the right wing is up to its I am tough on crime bullshit.  I just saw my first ad campaign proclaiming how a republican is going to be tough on criminals and save the world for middle class law abiding white folk.  Bullshit is all I have [...]

Quit Bitching About China Birth Policy

It is time for everyone to quit bitching about China’s one birth policy. While the enforcement as I understand it can be downright draconic and should be questioned, the policy itself is sound no matter which side you look at it from. Right or left you should be questioning why the rest of the world [...]

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Get Over It

“Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” may soon go the way of canon barrages, cavalry charges and bayonet charges. In a ruling today by a US Appellate Court, the military must prove that discharging gays improves both military readiness and unit cohesion.
From The Associated Press:
The military cannot automatically discharge people because they’re gay, a federal appeals [...]

The Unspoken Reality of Niche Crimes

We have gone too far this time in niche laws and micro niche terminology.  NFL player Charles Grant, of New Orleans Saints, has been arrested and charged with feticide.  That means he is being charged with killing both a woman and her fetus.  The laws have gone too far.
Is it more of a crime to [...]

Who’s Watching Me Now… The IRS?

While some of you might recognize the lyrics of Rockwell’s super hit of the 80’s and laugh, you should probably think twice about before clicking your next hyperlink. It has recently been reported that for some time now the FBI has been using fake hyperlinks to trap suspected downloaders of illegal porn. While I can [...]

Age and The Legal Hypocrisy

Along with the healthcare conundrum, I have been forced lately to deal with another sticky situation that I don’t really like. The law is supposed to be equal across the board. However we have of late taken a very murky view of the subject when it comes to kids and their offenses.
For years now the [...]

Something Has Gotta Change

Another sign that we should be bringing our troops home is reported in this mornings USA Today. Since 2003 we have deployed more than 43,000 military personnel who classified as medically unfit for deployment. This is either a sign of the military’s macho delusions, someone just not giving a shit, or our government being out [...]

The Interracial Hot Button

Cinco De Mayo has come and gone and you probably have forgotten all about it, unless you are hung over. After my small rant on Cinco de Mayo I wondered what how I could follow up the chastisement a lot of Americans deserve for their racial attitudes and unfortunately I have found it today.

We say [...]
