Homegrown Terrorists Planned To Destroy Sears Tower In Chicago

Seven men were arrested today when an FBI raided a warehouse in Liberty City, Miami. Officials are being very tight-lipped about it, saying only that the terrorists seem to all be American, that they allegedly planning to destroy the Sears Tower in Chicago and other U.S. buildings, and that, because...

Did I Hear Somebody Yell, "Pull!"?

President Bush today cautioned North Korea and advised against test firing a missile that is reported to be able to reach the United States. Officials state that our missile defense system, which has been tested effective in exactly 50% of its test (5 out of 10), is ready. But are they? Everything... Sign in to see full entry.

Look Back In Fury

I just read an excellent, most enlightening post entitled, "Tricky Dick 'Shotgun' Cheney And His Texas Two-Step". Read it and get good and pissed. Read it and weep -- for the all our troops in Iraq, especially those sacrificed. Sign in to see full entry.

"Cracking Down" Was Supposed To Have Been Done In First Place

You keep hearing about the legislation back in 1986 that made it easier for immigrants to become American citizens, and about the three million illegal aliens that became citizens because of it.

Stand And Deliver Or Sit And Be Labeled

And the challenge rang through the rotunda, through the Senate chambers and into the House of Representatives -- the same old wearied cliches that have kept the Republicans in office since the mid-1990's -- are you with us or against us? Are you an American or al Qaeda (that twist coming from... Sign in to see full entry.

Time For A GOP Comeback

Reeling from the scandals, the GOP has enured some strong hits in the past year -- Tom Delay's indictment and stepping down (then out), Bill Frist being probed, Duke Cunningham's waywardness, Cheney's shooting accident, Scooter Libby's indictment, the entire Hurrican Katrina fiasco, and the War in...

Three Suicides At Guantanamo

What has been a black eye for the Bush administration internationally has now become a bloody nose as well. The detainees -- men detained without being charged and, if charged, have not been tried -- have been sequestered at Guantanamo for as long as four years, arrested in the War on Terror begun...

Same Sex Marriage Ban Across-The-Board Failure

It is not that the legislation probably won't even make it through Congress. It's not even the fact that if it does, the Supreme Court more likely as not will strike it down, overly conservative or not. It has come down to this: Dubya and the Dimwits are obviously trying to circle the wagons, rally... Sign in to see full entry.

N.Y. C. And D. C. Furious About Homeland Security Budget Allocations

After September 11 and after Homeland Security was created by the Bush administration, certain key cities deemed as prime targets were allotted generous millions of dollars to help man, outfit, and beef up security against possible terrorist attacks. Of course, since they were the direct targets of... Sign in to see full entry.
