If Republicans Lose Control in November..it's because they've lost their freaking minds lately.The FBI raided the house of Democrat Representative William Jefferson (La.) recently, discovering something like $90,000 hidden in his freezer.With all the nonsense charges leveled at Republicans lately, you'd think Congressional Republicans would jump on this as evidence of the Democrat "culture of

Supreme Court: It's LegalThere's been much ballyhooing over the USA Today story about phone companies turning over phone records to the NSA. They didn't turn over actual conversations (which the phone companies don't have anyway) but rather lists of what numbers were called. Predictably, Democrats and liberals are calling it illegal.It isn't. The U.S. Supreme Court said in Smith v Maryland,

Net neutralityI have to open this post with a disclaimer: I'm immediately suspicious of anything MoveOn.org supports.MoveOn.org is one member of an admittedly odd coalition of advocates of what is known as "Net Neutrality" legislation. In a nutshell,they don't want ISPs to charge certain customers more because they use more bandwith. Neutrality proponents have mangled this into the accusation

Much Ado About NothingTo hear the media tell it, you'd think Valerie Plame was a deep-cover, 007-style CIA agent, in danger of life and limb every moment, traveling the globe to make the world safe for Mom, apple pie, and the American way until she was "outted" by poltical thugs working at the White House.All this over a couple sentences in a syndicated opinion piece by Robert Novak entitled, "

The Ninth Circuit Strikes Again in the California Recall!!The Federal Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (often referred to as the Ninth Circus by many conservatives), has once more ensconced itself in the annals of judicial insanity. They ruled today that the pending Calfornia recall election must delayed because punch card voting systems were determined to violate the Fair Voting Act.

It's About Trust... Much is being made of the Jayson Blair fiasco at the New York Times. A number of conservative commentators are trying to turn it into a referendum on affirmative action, stating the only reason Blair was kept on and promoted despite warnings from lower-level editors was the color of his skin. Frankly, I think there's a whole lot more to it than simply race. It has to do

The Blame Game Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fl) yesterday made a statement blaming President Bush for the bombings in Saudi Arabia. Graham claimed our focus on Iraq slowed down the war on terror and thus permitted the bombings. He also resurrected the tired old argument that Bush was involved in a cover-up of information about September 11. First liberals are accusing President Bush of focusing so much

Window-phobia I've been a bit remiss in blogging recently for a number of reasons, not the least of which is an attempt to delve into the secrets of PHP, MySQL and Apache webserver. Really cool tools, but the authors seem to be a bit Windows-phobic, especially the PHP crew.

Clinton Undermined Bush Before War I ran across this piece from the UK Guardian while reading Drudge this morning.
