Bush Continues Assault on Constitution

Has George Bush revoked the 5th Amendment?
“On its face, this is the greatest encroachment on civil liberties since the internment of Japanese Americans in World War II,” said Bruce Fein, a constitutional lawyer who was a deputy attorney general in the Reagan administration and author of an article of impeachment against President Bill Clinton…”King George III,” observed Fein, “really would have been jealous of this power.”

Happy Birthday Gavrilo Princip!

Huh, word to mother, I’m dangerous
Crazier than a bag of f****** Angel Dust
When I bust my gat m*****f****** take dirt naps
I’m all that and a dime sack, where the paper at?

Gavrilo would be turning 113 today if not for his untimely demise in 1918. Gavrilo, if you’re out there listening to this, please take note: you make for an excellent quizzo question.

Hillary loses the vote of every person in America with a modicum of taste

Now, I really hadn’t made my decision as to which Democrat candidate I liked the most, but I can now eliminate one from consideration: Hillary Clinton. Any chance she had just flew out the window with her new campaign song, You and I by Celine Dion. If Hillary wants to side with my arch-nemesis, I will actively campaign against her. I mean, seriously, this is pathetic.

Ever heard of this guy?

His name was John O’Neill, and I was tooling around on the internet yesterday when I came across him. He was the head of the FBI’s terrorism division that was following Bin Laden. He got so frustrated at the incompetence of the FBI and the Bush administration that he quit, and took a job as head of security at the World Trade Center. September 11, 2001 was his 2nd day on the job. He was killed. Here is an excellent Frontline on him. Of course conspiracy theorists have ha a field day with this.

Bush Cronies continue covering selves in glory

The problem with surrounding yourself with dishonorable, shady people is that they tend to do dishonorable, shady things. Paul Wolfowitz, the neocon who really pushed hard for a war in Iraq, has now resigned from World Bank under tremendous pressure for ethics violations. Meanwhile, Alberto Gonzales has been called out yet again for highly questionable behavior, trying to get John Ashcroft to sign off on domestic spying while lying in the ICU. Man, if we only we had a person of honor running this country, a person of integrity, then we wouldn’t have worry about these shenanigans. A good, honorable person…like Dick Cheney!!! (Inspired by this gutsy column, I am hereby making johnnygoodtimes.com your official Dick Cheney in ’08 Campaign Headquarters!)
