Let's say I'm an ordinary average American citizen who is (theoretically) actively fomenting revolution in a region beyond the rule of law. Who knows, maybe I'm actually an anthropology student doing an ethnographic study of Jihadists in Southern Yemen and their courtship rituals.

What should the Federal Government do about me?

I was shooting the breeze yesterday on how the legislative branch be held more accountable and productive, so this is what we spitballed.

In this diary it was brought up that SNAFUs are occuring in the Colorado absentee ballots, a reminding me of a theory I had posited some time ago on what states beyond FL & OH were ripe for rigging.

I thought swing states with GOP governors would be likely targets; Colorado, Minnesota and Nevada fit those criteria. So let us find out about the various Secretaries of State beyond the fold, shall we? Read More

For anybody who has had to drive in Texas, you'll know that its highway system is a mess. The Texas Department of Transportation(TxDOT) has a plan(.pdf).

What they don't tell you is that it in order for it to work big brother will always be watching.

I took a break from the ordinary(not reading the NY Times) and bought the Monday, March 6 Phoenix metro edition of the East Valley Tribune.

As I work my way through, I come across a 1/4 page ad saluting former local sports anchor and current buffoon, Congressman J.D. Hayworth; paid for by one of his largest contributors this election cycle. The question is, is this legal?

The ad copy is after the fold: Read More

Here's the steaming poop

The government last night admitted for the first time that aircraft suspected of being used by the CIA to transport detainees to secret interrogation centres had landed at British military airfields.
After months of refusing to answer questions from MPs or the media, it disclosed that two aircraft known to have been chartered by the CIA landed 14 times at RAF Northholt, west London, and RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire between October 2003 and May 2004.

Whaat? Our government lies and got caught?? Unfortunately another example how our nation is failing to win a war of ideals by failing to live up to them.

He's a vile, detestable, moralistic person...

Is this one of our more rabid readers here @ Kos describing our President??? Nope, it's an unnamed source at the White House about a Prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney General's office.

the actual quote:

"He's a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things," one White House ally said, referring to special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald.

Must be from Cheney's end of the house, as I don't think the West wing "gets" irony.

As I was reading this story, I opened up the paper copy of the the Daily News and found this story, about how the WH is going all gangsta before the indictments go down.

If you want a view of what it was like back in the good old days(hasn't been updated since Sept 03), the following link you should like:

Of note is that it mentions Andrea Mitchell as one of the 6 reporters who the WH pitched Plame to.

I'm putting this up here as a central repository of IIPA, espionage act and other legal goodies related to the case for easy reference. Other statutes to follow.

The impotrant stuff is in bold,

I was talking about this matter with some folks, trying to explain my point on why Judy Miller should sit in the clink about not revealing sources regarding Valerie Plame, when it hit me:

What if it's not about Plame?

Everything has been revolved around Rove's alleged leak, but since Miller never wrote anything about Plame, she couldn't be considered an accomplice in that matter. So why is Fitz going after her so hard? Read More
