So, my pal Viv pointed me to this thread on an Oz site that she’s part of. Forum folks making a contribution to charity for folks posting comments summarizing movie plots in five sentences of five words. So this gave me an idea. The basic idea is to rip off that idea wholesale. Once a [...]

“Some branches are more equal than others,” asserts the executive branch in the EFF case about the domestic spying program. See, that whole “separation of powers” thing actually doesn’t separate powers, it’s all a sham. The court can’t rule against the executive when the executive doesn’t want it to.

And to see them get away with it again and again and again. And have themselves call themselves moral, and Christian. They’re evil. Punishments for [...]

I hate to link to something I found on BoingBoing, because hell, boingboing is now read by everyone on the planet (time was you could pass on bb tidbits and folks wondered how you managed to find such cool stuff), but I want to elect this guy President. Or at least make him our current [...]
