Bye-Bye Civil Liberties
The American Civil Liberties Union is mad as hell. President Bush signed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 into law and the ACLU called the new law one of the worst civil liberties measures ever enacted in American history. “With his signature, President Bush enacts a law that is both unconstitutional and un-American. This president will be remembered as the
Oil me up!
I wake up this morning happy with the world, my wife is gorgeous, I do not have to work today and I have a great weekend planned. The only thing that has even peeved me this morning is the reality disconnect invovled with gasoline pricing (Thanks USAToday for all the news heh). When Oil was $40 a barrel, I was
Downloadable Silence and the Desktop Blues
Man wins a free song download from Pepsi and uses the credit to buy “Silence” by Ciccone Youth. DRM makes it impossible to transfer the song to another MP3 player so he strips it using a cross-platform application that unlocks DRM’ed songs but keeps original sound quality. This sound of silence is now available for download on his site. Will
Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers, You’re Scumbags!
Wal-Mart is the favorite store of the middle-class trash-crowd because they are easily mislead by its bait-and-switch business practices. For example, Wal-Mart has been known to set very low prices on a cheap import item predominately located at each section of the store then jack up the rest of the prices in the department to compensate.

Bush’s FY 2007 Cuts Arts Education Fund
Bush sent the fiscal year 2007 budget request to Congress yesterday and it looks grim. Becky Lewis of OMB Watch summarized, “By focusing on the budget for sacrifices, as opposed to the tax cuts, the administration makes it quite clear that they are more comfortable with taking from low- and moderate-income families than they are with taking from the super-wealthy.”
The RIAA – "We Suck AGAIN"
Here's a must read blog for ya. It's devoted to the RIAA's lawsuits of intimidation brought against ordinary working people. Boy, did the RIAA mess up royally. This time, they are suing a home health aide who has never bought, used or even turned on a computer in her life. The post links to a legal document from her attourney
LEAP – Help End Prohibition
LEAP is an acronym for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, a group of current and former members of law enforcement officials that was founded in 2002. Their message is simple.

Proof that Political Extremism is Based on Ignorance
Oh my, this report makes it clear what I have been saying all along. Far left and right wing people are incapable of processing information REGARDLESS of FACT! The quote below is a quick summation, but I really encourage anyone who is able to learn (obviously our partisan fools are incapable of doing so) to READ this information. We, the
These are the Pro’s and Con’s of Censorship
The real reason censorship should be rejected by any thinking creature is that given time, all censorship becomes easily lampoonable. The site Taboo Tunes (VMNSFW, very moderately not safe for work, aka your boss would have to be a far-right-wing republican censor like Bush, or a far-left-wing democrat censor like Gore to be bothered by it) covers the situation in
Animals
Listening to Pink Floyd's Animals today, and just had to share one of my favorite parts: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He makes me down to lie Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by With bright knives he releaseth my soul He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places He converteth
