"I will do everything I can, including a filibuster, to stop this Patriot Act conference report, which does not include adequate safeguards to protect our constitutional freedoms," said Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., who was the only senator to vote against the original version of the Patriot Act.
Good for Russ. This piece of crap belongs on the ashheap next to the Alien and Sedition act, Executive Order 9066 which ordered internment, and the entirety of the House Un-American Activities Committee. House, Senate Reach Deal on Patriot Act - Yahoo! News |

The Marianas Variety Online reports that Governor-elect Benigno R. Fitial says he will cooperate with federal authorities in the ongoing investigation of Rep. Tom Delay and former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff, whom he once described as his “close friends.”
Oops. Now what this means is even if Tom DeLay manages to dig out from under the Texas indictments, it just means he has another hot seat waiting for him in federal court. Door's on the left... Marianas Governor-elect to Cooperate in Ambramoff Probe |

And now for your moment of comedy zen... Rebuilding a nation devastated by a dictator is a large undertaking.
Thank you for the quote Mr. Bush. As it turns out, Iraq was devestated by us when we invaded, so I guess that makes you the dictator? Bush Lauds Iraq Progress, Cites Challenges - Yahoo! News |

The kicker, however, is that any damage you do to your opponent will slowly regenerate unless… wait for it… you take a picture of her panties. Yes. A fighting game where panty-shots are the core mechanic.

A complete foot reveals that archaeopteryx had an extensible claw on its second toe, which is a hallmark of raptors, but is absent in all known birds. Its first toe, or "hallux", is also at the side of the foot and not reversed as it is in perching birds, which use it to grasp branches

Walgreen Co. said it has put four Illinois pharmacists in the St. Louis area on unpaid leave for refusing to fill prescriptions for emergency contraception in violation of a state rule. The four cited religious or moral objections to filling prescriptions for the morning-after pill and "have said they would like to maintain their right to refuse to dispense, and in Illinois that is not an option," Walgreen spokeswoman Tiffani Bruce said.
Good for Walgreen's and good for Illinois. If you have a "religious or moral" reason for not doing your job, that means you're doing the wrong job. Ill. Pharmacists Withhold Emergency Pill - Yahoo! News |

For the next seven years Hager sodomized Davis without her consent while she slept roughly once a month until their divorce in 2002, she claims. "My sense is that he saw [my narcolepsy] as an opportunity,"
Hager is one of the FDA guys who opposed Plan B and well known on the Christian right. Based on this, he probably needs to be fed depo-prevara and sent to the big house where he can find out just how much fun taking it up the back door without consent is. Dr. Hager's Family Values |

Wilkerson blamed Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and like-minded aides. He said Cheney must have sincerely believed that Iraq could be a spawning ground for new terror assaults, because "otherwise I have to declare him a moron, an idiot or a nefarious bastard."
I'm not sure why Cheney believing that disqualifies any of those descriptors... Ex-Powell Aide Criticizes Detainee Effort - Yahoo! News |
