Finally there is some voice of reason coming forward from our judicial system. Maybe it has something to do with getting rid of Bush’s “Get out of Jail Free Card” Alberto Gonzales?
Two provisions of the USA Patriot Act are unconstitutional because they allow search warrants to be issued without a showing of probable cause, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken ruled that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, as amended by the Patriot Act, "now permits the executive branch of government to conduct surveillance and searches of American citizens without satisfying the probable cause requirements of the Fourth Amendment."
Thank you Ann Aiken! May more of our judges now find the courage to stand for the constitution instead of the criminal behavior of a misguiding administration and hold them accountable for their crimes!

Two days of Two buffoons in the news
Is anyone else tired of the media using ridiculous diversions to take our eye off the real issues? I am sick of the antics of the media and the politicians going off on tangents talking about a visit from a moronic leader. We have one of those of our own... Why do we act so surprised that another nation has one? Ours is no better than theirs, they are both inept.
George said this....blah blah blah. Well the fact that he actually could put a sentence together and get it out is a surprising feat. Mahmoud said Tuesday that Iran's disputed nuclear program is closed as a political issue and said Tehran will ignore a U.N. Security Council demand imposed by "arrogant powers" to curb its nuclear program. Are you shocked??? Are you surprised???
Come on... Bush rattles the chains, Ahmadinejad shakes his cage. It's like watching two grade school children. Neither of them talks to each other but around each other. Bush has really brought this entire thing to a boil with his foreign policy called ignore. You can't ignore your rivals and think they will go away. It causes rebellion.... Duhhhhh
I wouldn't expect anything worthwhile out of Bush's mouth on the issue... He hasn't had anything to say worth while since he took office except lies to cover up prior lies.
I love the bit of news that came out about his getting congress to approve his "spying program" and using trumped up intelligence once again to create terror in the house and the senate to get them to authorize his criminal plan. Again... Shocked????
Yet we still have 29% of the nation that supports this Hitler want to be. We need to clean our own house before we worry about Iran and their comparable disaster. The scary thing is ours has more power and a much more treacherous mind. If you have any fear of Iran you better be looking at GWB first. He's much more of a threat to your quality of life than Iran will be for the next 20 years. Review what he has done to your constitution for starters….. Iran doesn’t even have nuclear power yet…. Who’s really a threat and to whom?

Bin Laden family Purchased Bush’s Loyalty Years Ago
I was watching Bill Maher last night and there was a bit of information that I think is extremely interesting. Did you know that the Bin Laden Family actually purchased GWB’s first failed business? An oil company that was in debt and dysfunctional; Like that is any surprise with that nit wit at the helm!!! No wonder 9-11 was scheduled after he became our “Decider”. He and his family knew there would be no repercussions for his actions. The Bush’s owed the Bin Laden’s big time!
Evidently as members of the “Carlyle Group” the Bush’s and the bin Laden’s have had many financial interactions. This makes the entire Middle East debacle much more understandable. We the American people are being BushWhacked into forcing money into the middle east while Bin Laden gets everything he wants. Our tax dollars are paying Cheney and his criminals to clean up the mess. We are paying “Black Water” to shoot people on site and again with no repercussions because our Decider has decided it to be what is in our best interest.
I think I’m going to be sick now….

Final Curtain Call! And now for the Grand Finale - IRAQ
President Bush has decided as he loves to do…. (he’s the decider per his own appointment) that we will have 160,000 troops in Iraq for the next 10 year. We will withdraw a few to get us back to pre surge levels by next summer and then his sorry ass will be out of the white house. Can’t happen fast enough for me…. I prefer he resign and leave yesterday. (Before the speech)
Democrats better draw the line in the sand right here. No funding for anything but the beginning of troop withdrawals. Fund any equipment necessary to protect them while they are there but all other funding is earmarked to removal of our troops beginning next week.
More of the same is not an acceptable plan. There should be absolutely no long term commitment to our continued occupation of Iraq. We have crated a situation of cleansing between the sects resulting in over 1,000,000 people’s deaths. We are creating our very own holocaust of which America will be held responsible for and judged by for decades to come. The best we can hope for is getting our people out of there as quickly as possible and using diplomacy to negotiate a universal involvement of allies along with US forces to try and maintain the security of their borders while they fight it out amongst themselves and resolve their government’s reconciliation issues. We can not define their government; we never went there to provide anything but havoc. The entire democracy debacle was all smoke and mirrors by this administration when all other justifications for his worthless war were revealed to be falsifications.
We have finally reached the point of true absolute resolve that his shell and pea game is over. No more moving the pea around the table trying to spin his justification for us being there or that a plan exists that has never existed. This war was wrong from day one and is still wrong today. There is no winning any battle that is built upon corruption and deception. The American people have paid a horrific price for the lies of one man and his corrupt band of villains that were sold to us as representatives of our best interest. In fact the only interest they held was their own and their corporate criminal buddies known as the Neo-Cons.
Come on Democrats, stand firm, stand resolved, don’t give one bit! Time to bring this boondoggle disaster to an end. No more lies allowed, no more deception, no more false intelligence, no more appointing mouthpieces (General Petraeus) because Bush has lost all respect and authority. It is time to hold him accountable for his atrocities against our nation. Further atrocities and allowing further misguided behavior by our military, our courts, and our government will be a reflection on those in power today. We as Democrats certainly do not want to wear the blood on our hands that the republicans are wearing on theirs.

The tapes of Osama are just more "Boogie Man's gonna Get Ya" Crap
How long are we going to allow our government to play this little charade with us the American Citizens who are paying for this not so well directed "war on Terror"?
We aren't even hunting Osama Bin Laden any more. We are bogged down in a war in Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9-11. In the meantime Al Quida has grown stronger and we actually face more danger today than we did on 9-11.
Secondly... All of this Terrorist stuff is a bit over played. I assure you anyone in this nation that is black, gay, Mexican, atheist, etc, etc, etc, faces terror every day of their lives. They know what terror is. They walk in it every day and recognize it is not something that is sending video tapes with threats of kicking your ass. It's not someone saying "I'm going to mess you up" it's more realizing terror when they have been shot in the back by a law enforcement figure of authority or the Terrorist has beat the hell out of you and left you hanging on a fence in Wyoming’s winter to die. That is true terror recognized by the trained eye that faces it on a daily basis. Maybe that is why there are those that don't buy into this "boogie man" rhetoric.
I'm not saying there are not those out there that want to hurt us because we are
Americans; they desire to hurt us because they don't like Americans. They don't like Americans because we as American have not been very good neighbors. We take it upon ourselves to determine what is best for them and then we occupy their nation and enforce our values and what we call democracy on them. How do you suppose we would react to someone doing that to us? I would suggest to you that most of us would appear to them as insurgents. Combatants; anxious to overthrow the occupation; fighting for our very existence as we know it.
You see there are those ordinary citizens out here that recognize our government and the pendants who give that government unbridled authority to carry out their witch hunts as being exactly what it is…. A terrorist organization. Absolute power…. Absolute corruption…..

You may have a GPS Navigation system and not even know it!!!
I usually don't write about something like cell phones but I had an experience today that was so exciting I need to share it.
I am getting ready to take a trip to Laguna Beach from Vegas. My partner isn't to keen on trying to read a map in the middle of LA traffic so I thought I would pick up a GPS system in order to take some of the stress off the entire trip. I started by reviewing what Consumer Report had written on GPS systems and which ones they rated as most effective for the money. Then I headed to Costco to see if I could find any of the ones they had listed. I did find one not on the list but appeared to have all the right functions and stared toward the checkout stand. As I passed the cell phone booth one of the sales people asked me if I had the GPS on my phone activated. I responded with NOOOO???? I don't think I have GPS on my phone as I pulled it out of my pocket.
As soon as he saw it was a Razor he asked me who my carrier was. I responded Verizon. He said yes you do have GPS on your phone. I stood there a bit dazed and then decided I needed to ask more questions.
Ultimately I ended up saving myself approximately $400.00 by activating my GPS on my cell phone for 9.99 per month. The really great thing about this is that you never have to buy updates. Verizon updates their system approximately once a week which saves you probably another $300.00 per year by avoiding buying software upgrades to keep current with new development.
I thanked the sales person for Verizon repeatedly and took the Magellan back where I had picked it up.
Next time you’re planning a trip, you might want to call your cell phone provider and ask if your phone has GPS capabilities and if they offer a Navigation service.
I have played around with it a bit this afternoon and it works fantastically. I don't think I could have bought one that would have worked any better than my cell phone.
Thanks again Sales guy!!!

Misdemeanor VS Mister Weiner???
Well today we find out that Larry Craig has left a trail of deception. He made a call to who he thought was his lawyer and left a message about misleading the public on his resignation from the senate. He referred to Alien Specter’s willingness to support him and commented that he was changing his resignation speech to reflect “intent” to resign. He had called a wrong number and it has been release to the media.
I guess that means that his guilty plea was all misunderstood.
My suspicion is that when the police said they would reduce his charge to a misdemeanor the thought they said Mister Weiner and responded… I’ll take that!
Actually I still don’t think he should resign. I think he needs to hold the feet of the republicans to the fire and if they want him to resign so should all other sexual suspect such as Vitter and others. Just because he’s gay isn’t a reason to resign…. Maybe he can start changing his votes to reflect his now revealed life style????
Tony Perkins of course is having kittens over the announcement that he’s sticking around and going to fight. I am sure Perkins’s really upset that he will be expected to strong arm all sex offenders and not just those accused of being gay. Wonder when Perkins is going to uphold the same distaste for adultery and divorce as he does for homosexuality? Don’t look for that to happen soon…. Those issues will take money out of his pocket instead of firing up the base and getting the hate cash flowing in.
