Muzzling the Scientists

An article in the NYT today describes how the Bush administration is trying to put a lid on scientists that are speaking out about global warming. A vociferous climatologist named Dr. Hansen has to go through a publicity person in order to make pronouncements about climate change. What's really sad... Sign in to see full entry.

No respect for the law

Bush's wire-tapping scheme seems to highlight an aspect of his personality: the lack of respect for precedent and the rule of law. Every president has to be aware of how enormously important it is to uphold the law. It's in the oath of office that every president takes when they are sworn into... Sign in to see full entry.

Bush is still using the 'fear' excuse

Using the excuse that "thugs and murders" will be dominating Iraq and possibly the US, the president today defended the domestic surveillence program. This program is neccessary to fight off the terrorists and other no gooders, said the president. Now a clear majority of people oppose the... Sign in to see full entry.

The old rival is back

I saw Al Gore's speech the other day on cspan. I was distracted for most of the speech by talking with my friend, but there were moments when his intonation rised and we stopped our conversation. You could feel the passion in his voice, and this is from a guy who is outwardly emotionless and bland.... Sign in to see full entry.

Bush should be the last two-termer

I'm getting to the point where I want to advocate changing the constitution to limiting the powers of the president to just one six-year term. There would be much more efficacy in the political realm than ever before. The politicans could focus on the issues and not concentrate on "fringe" elements... Sign in to see full entry.

Bush's method of deciding

In Taoism, there are bones that are cast from a cup and the shape of the bones will decide your future. Bush seems to have his own version of this philosophy by taking a large bucket and filling it with cow bones, you know, the bones of beef that's been killed and consumed by humans. He swears by...

De Lay is down for the count

And the weasels are lining up to take over. You can hear their squeal all the way to the White House. The scandal ridden but smiling De Lay swore up and down that he was innocent and then went on national T.V. to defend himself, blaming everything on a "liberal" prosecutor. This is not the case...

The jobs program department: TSA

When Bush created the TSA, he basically created a whole new federal bureaucracy with a mandate to watch everything and everyone. This gave the US economy a boost in hiring 20-30 thousand stupid idiots who enjoy being security guards. These jobs had health benefits, life insurance, and good pensions....

Bush is going to wipe out our inherent gentic traits? I think not.

Bush must be living in his own fantasy world, at least when it comes to the "war" on terror that's going on. First of all, terrorism can never be wiped out totally. It's in our genes to prey on the innocent, to make a statement by victimizing certain people, or just be plain nuts and want to kill... Sign in to see full entry.

Nixon's ghost and the NSA

Bush is abusing his powers again by ordering the Justice department to go after the people who blew the story of NSA spying to the New York Times. Bush is claiming that the story about the abuse of his power will hurt the war on terror and support his enemies. How dare he try and duck his... Sign in to see full entry.
