White House Declines to Provide Storm Papers - New York Times

Incompetence is showing its ugly face once again

They fumbled the ball the first time around when Katrina hit and now they are fumbling it again be denying the release of crucial papers concerning White House communicationsin the aftermath of the storm. Now why do you suppose that is? I'll tell you what I think andit ain't good. The real truth is that they want to cover up all the goof ups they made. Folks the people you voted for don't have a clue as to what to do and the bottom feeding lawyers are telling them to keep quiet for fear that thay will incriminate themselves.
Seems to me that when you know the answer or have a pretty good feeling that you know it already, when the White House takes the third and refuses to answer, to me it is the same as they are admitting that they are guilty. Don't you think?
Besides who in the world is going to read 250,000 and 300,00 page reports? Might be good for toilet paper out in the outhouse but that is about it. Its amazing how something like this can generate over half a milliion pages of gobbedy-gook that almost no one will ever read and not one bit of help for the victims of this catastrophy.
And how about all this bullshit the president touted over the tv about spending all those hundreds of thousands (or is it millions or billions)to rebuild New Orleans? Funny how the news media has been real quiet about that. They show all the devastation but none of the rebuilding that is suppose to be going on. Truth is, it ain't. Now the tightwad greedy sob's won't pay for or help the victims get out of the financial mess they are in.
I'm telling you that there is a cover up, big time. It is about time we get to work and get to the bottom of this and make heads roll if that is what it takes.
The truth is out there. You can bet on it.

Feds take porn fight to Google | Tech News on ZDNet

And the Witch hunt begins

Although I am against Child pornography, I think that once again President Bush is overstepping his authority. Our Constitution specifically states that there must be a specific need for specific records and the courts must issue a search warrent in order to obatin those private records. The need must be specific, not a Witch hunt. We the people have the right to unreasonable search and seasures of our private records. This action by the president is against the law and also unconstitutional.

It is my opinion that if the president continues to overstep his authority that congress sanctions him. Failing that then I think it is time for the American people to step forward and start impeachment proceedings for this gross misconduct.

Alito Leaves Door Open to Reversing 'Roe'

Liar Liar Pants on fire

If you read the hearing summary, it comes to light that Alito had belonged to the Concerned Alumni of Princeton which had quite a notariety on social issues at that time. Alito it was noted touted his membership in this organization.

Then he goes on to say that he doesn't remember ever being a member. How convienment. Someone thqt well educated and especially a lawyer or law student does not forget such things.

Remember folks, in order to be a good lawyer you have to have an exceptional memory. In my opinion this is not a memory loss. It is an outright lie on his part. Republican right wing demagogary and accusations that he is somehow being picked on just don't jive. How tipical that the accuser becomes the accused when they can't get their way. A common tactic of right wing zealots. Shame on you.

Alito's refusal to adequately answer questions leaves me wondering if he could possibly be persuaded to overturn Roe V. Wade?
Is this the kind of perosn we want in the Supreme Court? Not is I can help it.

First post of the New Year. Hah another year gone and another year older. Bah Humbug I hate the idea of it. Such is life.
Out, out damn hair from my keyboard.

Anyway here goes.
Big Brother is snooping in your computer and its emails. Why am I not surprised? What does surprise me is the time it took the news papers to find out about it. It took some whistleblower government worker to act as Deep Throat to some reporter to get it out to the public.

Your President, the one You voted for my Republican friends, secretly under the guise of Law gave the NSA Cart Blanche to them to go ahead in the name of National Security and the Patriot (whatever that means) Act. It wasn't the Patriots who enacted it but a bunch of paranoid right wing zealots intent upon userping our constitutional rights in the name of terrorism and national security anainst some unknown or imagined enemy.

Now I know the President has the power to enact executive orders in times of emergency supposedly after some other nation has attacked us, thus declaring war. Now to my recollection the bombing, if you want to call it that, of the Twin Towers in New York was the work of a group of men lead by a fanatic (maybe more than one) named Osama Bin Laden. A very unstable religiously fanatic son of a wealthy Iraqi Oil sheik obsessed with the American bourgeois capitalistic lifestyle. Not some nation intent on world domination or our utter destruction.

No nation since 2003 has ever declared war on us. No nation has ever attacked us. We on the other hand attacked Saddam Hussein in Iraq in retribution for the above mentioned attack. Although bloodshursty and a despotic leader, we made him the scapegoat, attacked Iraq and captured him and now have him on trial. Our actions have destabilized a whole region and now we must do our best to correct it. Like it or not.

My problem is this. Did the President overstep his authority authorizing the secret surveillance of American citizens without our knowledge or permission in the name of national security and the Patriot Act?

Considering all the corruption within the GOP and elsewhere, I really wonder. What really gets me is that now he is pissed that the American public has found out. Good golly what is this country coming to? I really hope that this creates a backlash from the public and a tongue lashing by congress.

Come on Mr President, you can't possibly think for one minute that the enemy doesn't think that we have not been monitoring their goings on. Of course they do. What has me pissed off about this is the fact that the NSA and other agencies are going on a Fishing expedition prying into its oun citizens communications. I don't think I'd mind so much if you had said that certain suspicious communications may be investigated. That I can handle. But going behind our backs. Now that is another matter.

Wadda you think?
