"ObserverJason" wants to know:

Why don't you have any threads about wiretapping eavesdropping programs Bush is using to blackmail political rivals with??

Why don't you neocons want to talk about the greatest domestic threat of our time?

Please enlighten us, lunatic.

By the way, what's with this trend with moonbats with "Observer" in their names? Is this some new lunatic moonbat initiative -- sending "observers," like Kofi Annan's poll-watchers, to "monitor" right-leaning sites?

If that's what's going on, I'd have to say that's the greatest domestic threat of our time right there.

Whoops! The comment was a parody.

It's hard to tell these days. Sorry.

If there were such a scheme, I'd say it's backfired.

CAIR, the political wing of Al Qaeda, is either deliberately or inadvertantly helping bring about 9/11, Part II. They are hellbent to make it the law in America that the only people engaging in international mega-terrorism are precisely the same people who are not permitted to be questioned, monitored, or searched.

And block Bush's judicial nominees for good measure.

Incoming Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy said yesterday that he plans to rein in President Bush's program of wiretapping without warrants, rewrite the policy for handling terrorism detainees and more closely scrutinize nominees to the federal courts.

"As a Democratic majority prepares to take the lead on the Judiciary Committee, we do not have the luxury of starting with a completely clean slate," the Vermont Democrat told an audience at Georgetown University Law Center. "We begin knowing that we have a duty to repair real damage done to our system of government over the last few years."

Mr. Leahy accused Mr. Bush of "corrosive unilateralism," eroding the privacy rights of Americans, erasing constitutional checks and balances, and "packing" the federal judiciary.

The Republican House and Senate, he said, accepted White House policy changes without question.

"I came to the Senate during the ebb tide of Vietnam and Watergate. In my 32 years since then in the Senate, I have never seen a Congress so willfully derelict in its duties," Mr. Leahy said. "This has been an unfortunate chapter in Congress' history, a time when our Constitution was under assault, when our legal and human rights were weakened, when our privacy and other freedoms were eroded."

Still, he said, he hopes to proceed in a bipartisan manner.

I hear Rove's re-loading the Stroke Gun as we speak.

Not sure anyone would notice if Leahy was mumbling incoherently, though.

Just suggested that, wink-wink, joking, "someone did this to him."

Oh, and Susan Sarandon claims she's "in the middle."

The Japanese have this weird cultural impulse towards cuteness, coupled with a weirder impulse towards weird sex.

Chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter time:

Details about the product here, as if the video doesn't pretty much tell you all you need to know.

Thanks to Former Lurker.

Um, the word's already out on that secret, KFed.

For one thing, her snootch is more ubiquitous in LA than Angelyne billboards.

For another thing, she married you.

Case closed.

Nothing but the sex tape will do, my unencumbered-by-talent friend.

Also... Yoko Ono's driver arrested for blackmail.

...the kooky artist and campaigner reported Mr Karsan to police after he allegedly said he would release sounds tapes and photos of her, unless she paid him $2 million (£1.02 million).

The flaw in his plan? Yoko Ono's been releasing sound tapes and photos of herself for like ninety-four years, and no one cares.

Actually, I could beat that damn LGF, if you guys vote like Democrats -- early and often.

You can vote once a day. From each of your computers. Hint, hint.

Aw, who am I kidding. There's not five of you with jobs.

It's stories like this that make blogging worth it.

A Bath woman convinced herself she was French after she developed a rare disorder.

Louise Clarke, 30, a recruitment consultant, babbled away in French for weeks, according to the Sun.

She demanded croissants, rang her pals to tell them she was living in Paris and even invited them over.

Louise said: "It might sound funny to others, but suddenly thinking you are French is terrifying."

She had been in France four years before becoming one of only four people in Britain, and 200 in the world, to be diagnosed with Susac's syndrome.

The other four people are John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, and Howard Dean.

Although I personally believe millions of Americans are suffering with this condition, undiagnosed and without proper medical treatment.

Prayers.

Thanks to PetiteDov.

Crying "suppression of information" and so and such.

Rob from Say Anything points out that it's sort of the government's job to "suppress" top secret documents. See, that's what makes them secret.
