I Am Robert A. Heinlein

I am:
Robert A. Heinlein
Beginning with technological action stories and progressing to epics with religious overtones, this take-no-prisoners writer racked up some huge sales numbers.

Why It's So Damned Hard to Get Real Sudafed

Thanks Sen. Feinstein.

Maybe I should start sending my used tissues to her office in the mail as a protest.

The Colts Need to Win a Super Bowl

Here's a good reason to root for Dungy | IndyStar.com: "There is a reason Football America needs to root for Tony Dungy to win a Super Bowl, and it goes far beyond his uncommon decency, his sense of perspective and his grace in the darkest of personal moments. We need him to get to the Super Bowl and win it because we need confirmation that good guys can finish first, that it's possible in this day of tyrants and joyless churls for the normal, respectable man to win the day."

Boing Boing: Bush legalizes martial law -- what Constitution?

Boing Boing: Bush legalizes martial law -- what Constitution?: "For the current President, 'enforcement of the laws to restore public order' means to commandeer guardsmen from any state, over the objections of local governmental, military and local police entities; ship them off to another state; conscript them in a law enforcement mode; and set them loose against 'disorderly' citizenry - protesters, possibly, or those who object to forced vaccinations and quarantines in the event of a bio-terror event."

VOTE THESE BASTARDS OUT! NOW, WHILE WE STILL CAN! Before this Administration decides elections are too "dangerous" in light of this so-called "war" we're fighting.

YouTube - Olbermann: the beginning of the end of America

YouTube - Olbermann: the beginning of the end of America

"Your words, sir, are lies."

This should be required watching of ALL Americans sometime in the next days. This Administration is wrong. Wrong on so many levels that it's hard to fathom. And yet by and large, no one seems to care. I find it unconscionable that this country is so blithely turning toward fascism.

Boing Boing: US torture bill signed into law

Boing Boing: US torture bill signed into law
Now, technically, as in Stalin's Soviet Union, Hitler's Germany, Mao's China or Pol Pot's Cambodia, anyone labeled an "enemy combatant" - again, by whom; by Bush? - can be whisked away and never heard from again. That kind of authority, in the hands of corrupt or untruthful politicians, may or may not be an effective tool in some kind of "war on terror," but it certainly can be a useful tool when it comes to silencing their opponents.
WHY ISN'T THE MAINSTREAM PRESS RAISING HELL OVER THIS!?!?
