    Why are the Republicans against Gonzalez being sworn in?

    Whether you think the NSA spying issue is a big deal or not, why are the Republicans so adamantly against Gonzalez testifying under oath? From what I have seen, he even offered to be under oath. His current testimony partially deals with past under-oath testimony. In a matter of American...

    Line Item Veto request for King George

    I notice in last night's speech that King George continued his power grab by again asking Congress to "work with him" by passing the line item veto to allow him to get rid of anything he doesn't like in legislation. Maybe with the recent shift of power of the Supreme Court, he can push to have...

    Prosecutor in Abramoff Probe Steps Down

    It is very difficult not to see this as a bad move, PR-wise, for the administration, at a minimum. What in God's name would signal that at this crucial time of public and legal opinion, that Bush should dangle a carrot out to the lead prosecutor of Abramoff? Unless, of course, you suspect sheer...

    State Of The People's Union Robert L. Borosage and Troy Peters January 26, 2006 In his coming State of the Union address, George W. Bush will tout the success of his economic policies, and call for making his tax cuts permanent.* Most Americans may sensibly wonder just what country the...

    Unfathomed Dangers in Patriot Act Reauthorization

    I think it important to note who the author of this essay is. Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration. He was Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Contributing Editor of National Review. He does not appear to be some...

    Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime.

    So, the next time "Palehose" or "CharlesManson" annoys me by calling me a name, I can alert the authorities and have them arrested? What will this do to posting boards, where everyone has a handle and not a name? Ridiculous. Thanks, republican sponsors. ------------------ Perspective:*...

    Rapist's Prison Sentence Triggers Outrage

    If this was my daughter, I would probably be in prison for rushing the defandant and beating him to death when this sentence was announced. 60 days in jail for repeatedly raping a girl under 10 years old. Rehabilitation has it's place, but protecting a child should take precedence over rehabbing...

    Immigrants allowed to work in US legally - what do you think?

    I have not studied this situation or legislation closely, but it is becoming a real hot-button issue. I'm guessing that some of you in Southern states deal with this and it is a more prevalent issue than it is up north. We don't have a lot of Canadians heading down into Minnesota to do odd jobs...

    I want to get out in front of this charade...

    I think it's deplorable that the conservatives have attached so many riders to the recently passed defense bill. They deftly tied support of funding for Katrina victims, funding for home heating oil assistance, and support for the troops to drilling in Anwar. I believe there were other items...
