The idea is that congress will pass a new law that will somehow solve the problem of Bush’s illegal wiretapping. However this would be a serious mistake. Last Friday I was in Federal District Court in Northern […]

They were caught listening in on our phone calls without a warrant and they said that it was only between Americans and foreign terrorists. But it turns out they are tracing all phone calls. Now we find out that they are looking into bank accounts. Will we soon find out that they […]

I was in the courtroom today in San Francisco watching the Bush Administration argue in front of the court that Bush was above the law. They stated that the Electronic Frontier Foundation can not sue AT&T for tapping our phones without a warrant. I sat there in amazement as they actually told […]

North Korea is about to launch a missile test to see if it can create a weapon that can hit California. For years the Republicans and the military have been claiming that we have a missile defense system that can keep us safe. So - lets see if Korea launches its test […]

It’s an election year and the Republicans are dragging out their second election year political stunt to further curtail our rights with a flag desecration amendment. What does this mean? All they have to do it print a flag on anything they don’t want debated to make it an act of flag […]

The Republicans, in an attempt to reassure religious conservatives, suggest that we need a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in order to protect heterosexual marriage. But wouldn’t a better way to protect marriage be a constitutional amendment banning heterosexual divorce? Think about it.

First there were calls to build a wall on the Mexican border. Now they want to defend the Canadian border. I say, let’s just build a dome over the United States!
If we built a dome then we can protect all our borders so no one can get in. It would solve all our problems. No […]
