This is just sad. Ugh.

The Obama administration, fearing a battle with Congress that could stall plans to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, is drafting an executive order that would reassert presidential authority to incarcerate terrorism suspects indefinitely, according to three senior government officials with knowledge of White House deliberations.

Such an order would embrace claims by former president George W. Bush that certain people can be detained without trial for long periods under the laws of war. Obama advisers are concerned that bypassing Congress could place the president on weaker footing before the courts and anger key supporters, the officials said.

Stymied by Congress so far, the White House is considering issuing an executive order to indefinitely imprison a small number of Guantanamo Bay detainees considered too dangerous to prosecute or release, two administration officials said Friday.

We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hill home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.

The Sun in England is saying that Iranian troops have crossed into Southern Iraq and engaged British forces. This can't possibly be true can it?

"A Nevada town passed a law this week making it illegal to fly a foreign nation's flag by itself, the latest swipe by a U.S. community at illegal immigrants.

The town council of Pahrump, which lies in the Mojave Desert west of Las Vegas, voted 3-2 on Tuesday to make flying any foreign flag above the U.S. flag or alone an offense punishable by a $50 fine and 30 hours' community service."

How could something stupid and unconstitutional actually be put forth by a city council? Their bigoted attitudes toward Hispanics, that's why.

Just wanted to share this video with all of you!!

I don't know who made this video, but it's funny nonetheless. I'm sure she feels like her efforts are not in vain when A) We are voted back in power, and B) Rummy is kicked out. Let's hope that she keeps the pressure up on Bush. In the video she also says she is going to keep up the pressure on the new Democrats who are in power.

It appears that Mr. "God Hates Fags" himself, Fred Phelps, is going to picket the Amish funerals. He is claiming that the girls were killed in punishment for Gov. Ed Rendell's blasphemous sins against Phelp's church. SCUMBAG!
