Does anyone else want to slap the crap out of the ron paul spammers on youtube?
I do.
They think Ron Paul's candidacy is like the second coming of jesus,
but little do they know (or think) that Dennis Kucinich would actually be a better man for the job. (IMO)
The Deputy director of national intelligence says "it is time that people in the United States change their definition of privacy."
Privacy no longer can mean anonymity, says Donald Kerr, the principal deputy director of national intelligence. Instead, it should mean that government and businesses properly safeguard people's private communications and financial information.
Kerr's comments come as Congress is taking a second look at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Veterans' Rolls Decline Here as Fewer Enlist and More Move By SAM ROBERTS
The proportion of New Yorkers who are veterans has dipped below 10 percent, possibly for the first time since early in the 20th century.
that @ 2:
I'm all for people voting for the candidate of their choice it's the spamming that makes me wish I could kicked the shit out of some people.
Ron Paul's internet people are very irritating sometimes - spamming all over and what not. But, I love Ron Paul for giving the Republicans some sanity. It's funny to see all the people at like Sean Hannity's site blasting him as being a traitor and stuff like that.
CoIntelPro @ 6:
Bhutto is just the flipside of Musharaf.
Her father rose to power (as a cabinet officer) via a military coup no different than Musharaf's. He was a real sweet guy ("Bhutto refused to accept an Awami League government and famously promised to "break the legs" of any elected PPP member who dared to attend the inaugural session of the National Assembly of Pakistan." -- wikipedia). He was also the founder of Pakistan's nuclear program. They eventually hanged him.
Benazir, as PM, was the main backer of the Taliban (she opposed them later). Part of her arrangement with Musharaf is to allow her access to the $1.5 BILLION her family has salted away in Switzerland. She's a real hero.
Have fun!
CD @ 1:
Actually, I want to slap the crap out of people that say Dennis Kucinich is the best candidate but unelectable. If nothing else, the Ron Paul supporters have shown us the power of the internet to promote a candidate. Kucinich supporters should follow Paul's campaign and apply the principles that get the word out without going so far as to alienate voters. American voters need to get their heads out of it's asses and quit voting for the GQ models out there. I don't need make-up tips. I need a President.

NSPD-51 and the Potential for a Coup d'Etat by National Emergency
By William H. White November 11, 2007
Ralph Nader quotes Massachusetts Rep. John W. Olver (D), who has a PhD from MIT, when presented with the votes of 13 Town Meetings [real Town Meetings, not the media events staged for candidate performances] in Olver's congressional district calling for impeachment of Cheney and Bush, Olver responded that he opposed any impeachment move against Bush because "the current autocratic executive [Bush] would attack Iran from the air, declare a national emergency, institute marshal law, and call off the 2008 elections were the Democrats to initiate impeachment."
So pleased you're there. Wish I was! I spent the weekend in Serbia and the Ukraine!
Thanks Mike Honey. You Rock Star, you. Those groupies better keep their distance or I'll be very upset. - BG
You know, I just thought of something.
Does anyone here think that maybe a lot of our foreign policy has to do with the media? I mean, is it possible that the government controls the media in some sense, and the media controls the government in another?
I just saw this video in youtube. In this video, a Fox "news" guy openly calls for terrorist bombings in Iran!!!!!!!!!!!

Republican Corruption is Gushing Faster Than Oil in Alaska - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/11/AR200711...
On another tape, Pete Kott, the former Republican speaker of the Alaska House of Representatives, crowed as he described beating back a tax bill opposed by oil companies. "I had to cheat, steal, beg, borrow and lie," Kott said. "Exxon's happy. BP's happy. I'll sell my soul to the devil."
"Well, that will stay in this room," one lobbyist said as a midnight session wound down.
But with signs that the investigation is brushing against Alaska's lone congressman, Don Young (R), and its longtime and venerated senator Ted Stevens (R), residents of the Last Frontier are experiencing a rare spasm of soul-searching.

Criminal probe opens in Calif. oil spill
A call to the U.S. attorney's office for Northern California was not returned Sunday.
The ship struck the bridge early Wednesday, causing no structural damage to the span but leaking some 58,000 gallons of fuel oil into the bay. The thick, toxic fuel has fouled miles of coastline, forced the closure of nearly two dozen beaches and piers and killed dozens of seabirds.
