Sounds like a nursery ryhme. But it's real. One total religious nutjob will picket the funeral of another. Shall we sit back and watch it all implode?

This is for the funeral of the lying, false prophet Jerry Falwell. He was not a hero, nor was he honorable. He was nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he has made those that follow in his folly to be twice as evil as he is.

(CNN) - "WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Terrorists were in the final stages of planning to blow up planes heading to the United States from Britain, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Thursday.

The plot was the "greatest terrorist threat" against the United States since 9/11, government officials are saying privately.

Information gathered after recent arrests in Pakistan convinced British investigators they had to act immediately to stop the plot, sources told CNN." Read More

Immigration Protest: Chicago Local News

Chicago Local Fox News coverage on the immigration protests downtown was pretty - what's the word - ignorant. I have to admit, I didn't watch the whole thing and I hadn't checked out what the other stations were reporting. Local Fox News is different than the cable station. The anchors aren't partisan hacks.

However, the big news on Sunday night about the immigration protests weren't the protests themselves, but how they will inconvenience everyone on their way to work. Given to us by the voice and insight of Nancy Pender, a representative of every suburban mom in the Chicago Metropolitan area. Her teeth, lipstick, botox implants and tweezed hair make the news emminating from her head soft and easy to swallow, or spittle depending on where you're from. Read More

Dear [Name]:

Thank you for writing about Senator Russ Feingold's proposal to censure President Bush. I understand your strong feelings on this issue. While I share your frustration and anger, I do not think censure is justified at this time.

I agree with Senator Feingold that the Administration's attitude toward congressional oversight and the FISA law has been cavalier and arrogant. We are a nation of laws, and those laws should be applied to all of us, from humblest citizen to the president of the United States. No president should be allowed to knowingly and willing flout our laws, and I believe the President exceeded his authority with his domestic wiretapping program. The justifications offered - that the president possesses inherent presidential authority under Article II, or was granted that authority in the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force -- seem to contradict prior precedent and our constitutional design.

Dear [NAME]:

Thank you for contacting me regarding Senate Resolution 398, the resolution introduced by Senator Russ Feingold that would censure the President for authorizing the National Security Agency (NSA) to conduct a warrantless wiretapping program of American citizens. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.

Protecting both the security and the freedom of the American people is among my greatest concerns. I share an obligation with my fellow Senators to ensure that the federal government protects and defends the people of the United States while preserving the civil liberties that have helped make our country the greatest and most enduring democracy in the world.

Emboldening Our Enemies: A Counter Argument

Whenever someone stands up to the President, the Republicans rally around him and say that any such criticism "emboldens our enemies." The misconception here (a point which is always overlooked) is that the enemy of this sort didn't just appear out of nowhere on Sept. 11th.

Forget the names of terrorists, just remember, American involvement in the middleast can be dated back to the 40's, in our agreements to secure gasoline pipelines. Keeping this in mind, let us not forget the terrorists that existed and high-jacked airplanes in the 1970's. These are all the same brand of people. In some cases, even the same individuals.

I have to admit, I hadn't even heard anything about the Alamabam Church arson until today. That's beside the point. Pundits have completely wrecked their perspective on the world at large:

Bloggers seem to be falling for the trap of analyzing all the intricate details of the NSA wiretappings instead of cutting right to the heart of the problem. It doesn't matter if the UAE supports terrorists or that they had ties to 9/11 highjackers. It doesn't matter if the Bush administration is giving this to an Arab company. In fact, making Bush argue about it being an Arab company is exactly why this is wrong. Read More

The GOP loves to run their campaigns on fear. Fear of God. Fear of Guns. Fear of Gays. More importantly, fear of democrats. That is the only way they can establish and maintain power. I don't see why Democrats can't take this campaign tool and run with their own version of it. Democrats should run their campaigns with fear as the premises.

Stay with me here.

What scares me is GOP-controlled government cow-towing to corporate and special interest. What scares me is the errosion of our civil liberties. What scares me is the blurring line between the seperation of church and state. I can keep going, but you get the point. Read More
