Bookish Little Snot Merchant Harry Reid (D) Nevada is a hypocrite and a liar, he received Abramoff money ($66,000) and seniors are not begging in the streets for prescription drugs. Not that I've ever seen. What an asshole. I never thought I'd yearn for the days of Tom Daschle. More on the republican "culture of corruption": Pa t Leahy (D) Vermont, labeled "Abramoff Democrat". Useful Idiot goes Global: Cindy Sheehan has taken her sagging, crocodile tear stained countenance on the road to the country that is being hailed by many on the left as the new utopian model... Venezuela:

To the beat of drums and trilling whistles, thousands of activists from around the world showed their opposition to globalization and the Iraq war at the opening Tuesday of the World Social Forum backed by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The six-day conference got under way in Caracas amid a light drizzle as activists filled a plaza waving banners reading "Stop Bush" and "End the occupation of Iraq" ahead of a giant march. American activist Cindy Sheehan called for a stronger global movement against the Iraq war. "We have to work together as a global community to fight for peace and justice. We're all in it together. It's not just me who has lost a son," said Sheehan, whose son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in 2004. Sheehan, 48, of Berkeley, Calif., gained international attention when she set up a protest camp near President Bush's Texas ranch last year. "We really need to stop the imperialist tendencies of countries like the United States and Great Britain," Sheehan told The Associated Press. 

Look for the Chavez countenance to begin cropping up on the t-shirts of hipsters ala Ernesto (Che) Guevara. Even more in the ongoing, burgeoning "Rep ublican Culture of Corruption"...Bloated teen mugs his own grandmother for beer money:

Bradenton, Florida -- Deputies say a 16 year old has been arrested for beating his grandmother with a two-by-four for refusing to give him $100 for beer.

 $100.00?? All you need is about 10 to get a good buzz. It was probably Abramoff money.The only thing worse than a Senate Republican is a Senate Democrat.

According to Insight Magazine, the Bush administration is preparing for impeachment hearings. Citing unnamed sources in the administration, Insight reports that hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee in February could serve as a preview for later impeachment proceedings.

The White House consulted with eight members of Congress on the program, including four Democrats.

Sources told Insight that the Judiciary probe will likely include Republicans unaware that they could be advancing a Democratic move toward eventual impeachment.

Goddamned idiots, like I said. Members of the "Spineless Party" probably rolled over in the cloak room because they were afraid a democrat might get angry at them. I can understand something like this happening when the Democrats get their power back early next year. Come on, I mean, what else are they going to do as a majority? Enact a legislative agenda based on ideas? Give me a fucking break! 

Quote of the Day, Halliburton "W" McBushHitler:

"If I wanted to break the law,” Bush asked, "why was I briefing Congress?”

All eyes on the "Carter Party" in the West Bank:

Opinion polls showed President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party with just a slight edge, raising the possibility of Hamas, an Islamist militant group, joining the cabinet for the first time.Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel, has nevertheless largely followed a truce for nearly a year.

Google agrees to censor search results in China:

Google Inc. launched a search engine in China on Wednesday that censors material about human rights, Tibet and other topics sensitive to Beijing _ defending the move as a trade-off granting Chinese greater access to other information.

I thought America or (Amerikka, as I've seen it spelled on many leftist message boards) was the sole remaining police state in the world.



Saddam Lickspittle George Galloway about to be voted off the island. Astronomy Picture of the Day.  This is far more frightening than the FCC trying to get Howard Stern to stop saying asshole:

The rise of alternative media--political talk radio in the 1980s, cable news in the '90s, and the blogosphere in the new millennium--has broken the liberal monopoly over news and opinion outlets. The left understands acutely the implications of this revolution, blaming much of the Democratic Party's current electoral trouble on the influence of the new media's vigorous conservative voices. Instead of fighting back with ideas, however, today's liberals quietly, relentlessly and illiberally are working to smother this flourishing universe of political discourse under a tangle of campaign-finance and media regulations. Their campaign represents the most sustained attack on free political speech in the United States since the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts. Though Republicans have the most to lose in the short run, all Americans who care about our most fundamental rights and the civic health of our democracy need to understand what's going on--and resist it.

It's long been my contention (and observation) that republicans  wa nt to ban (or limit) obscene speech and democrats want to ban (or limit) political speech. Which is the more dangerous to limit? I suppose that's subjective. That is why I laugh when Stern (as much as I occasionally enjoy listening to him) sets himself up as some lofty guarantor of the 1st amendment, (when Flynt does it for some reason, I get insulted) all S tern wants to do is sit around all day sporting wood, there's nothing wrong with that, just be honest about it.
