Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) has spent considerable time drafting a bill that would give the President power to declare a “cybersecurity emergency” on non-government networks and seize control of them under the pretense of protection.
This does not sit well with me. Giving government the capability to control a public, open and free network is where [...]
I’m currently watching Fox News where Shep Smith is interviewing Bill Black. Everyone is bickering over what we shold do with these banks and their CEOs and this stimulus package. Here’s what I and no doubt many others think should happen:
Use this stimulus money to buy all stock in an insolvent bank/automaker/whatever. All of it. [...]
I had a THECROSSFIREGUYS moment and then an OMGHOWARDDEAN moment and then an OMFGGENERALCLARK moment. It was good. Watch this.
HIGH-FIVE INAUGURATION! – watch more funny videos
I’m going to show you a picture.
Not only will I show you a picture, but I want you to say aloud what this guy is. Like, as in race. Difficulty: don’t offend anyone.
If you said “African-American”, I want you to immediately run to the nearest cliff with jagged rocks at its base and jump off. [...]
Earlier this evening while I was wearing my “garbage man” hat at the LRB, I noticed a sort of memo/form letter one prints out to send to a lawmaker or what have you. It said something to the effect that once Obama takes office, he will try to legalize abortion and that this “systematic murder” [...]
No wonder John McCain, Sarah Palin and the Republicans made such a big deal out of the Weather Underground when the campaign was still ongoing. They’re selling this Wunder Radio thing on the App Store for $6! This is an outrage and I completely regret my vote for B. Hussein OBAMA.
Anyway, in all seriousness that [...]
Since this is the first time I’ve done this, I’ll just tell you that I’ll write a short paragraph followed by a link for more reading.
Okay, so if you read my blog, you know I’m not a big fan of Tom Cole (guess the party-OK) and the NRCC for obvious reasons, see my post “Another [...]
I voted for Governor Steve Beshear last year.
Not only is this a testament to how good of a job I thought he could do (and I still think he is doing), but the fact he’s in office shows that a lot of Kentuckians thought he was an improvement over his predecessor.
I think Governor Beshear has [...]
It seems to me like the McCain campaign is just descending to new levels when it comes to making their case for the presidency. I was looking through my Facebook news feed earlier, when Steve Metzger posted a link to an article on Politico. I was treated to an advertisement for the McCain campaign, and [...]
I’ve never been much of a fan of the Republican Party. However, political preference aside, you can’t help but be endlessly entertained by some of the things they do. Here’s a chance we all have to poke a little fun at people in power.
At work today, we received a fax from the National Republican Congressional [...]
