High Court Rejects Vt. Campaign Finance Law

Monday, June 26th, 2006

The US Supreme Court has ruled Vermont’s new Campaign Finance Law unconstitutional. This from the same court that ruled McCain-Feingold constitutional? Let’s all here it for Federalism.

11 Year Old Foils Ex-Con

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

I must say good work, buy that girl a shotgun… you wouldn’t even have to give her any shells, just let her stand back and yell “get out or I’ll shoot!” followed by the distinctive operational CHINK-CHINK of a 12 guage pump.

Good Riddance Mineta!

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

Now that all the damage has been done Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta resigns. Good bye and good riddance! The way things are going at the Whitehouse I’m hoping W doesn’t appoint Bill Clinton to the position, since Jeb and Dick already have jobs. Personally I think he should appoint Nugent – he’d get that airline [...]

Snapping turtle spotted twice crossing road

Shackles removed from confined Marines, sailor

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

I find it particularly heinous that our boys would be in shackles without so much as an indictement. No, they are being held in maximimum security, solitary 23 hours a day, based on reports received from the enemy and the New York TImes. Madness! Add to that the interogation methods used. On our own people.

Wal-Mart could hike pay and keep prices low

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

If they force themselves to lower their profit margin to a more than acceptable 2.9%… I guess it’s acceptable in America today to dictate how much profit a company can make when they’re not a monopoly? Or only if the target is big bad Wal-Mart?

Exposing the myth of Third World aid – Opinion – smh.com.au

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

An interesting article on aid to the 3rd world not working – where are the results of the billions sunk into Africa, for example? And a lot of it is because this “aid” has become an INDUSTRY and been pushed into areas where it has done little more than prop up the local dictatorships. Yet [...]
