When the news hit that the NSA had a domestic spying program, I was shocked, but not entirely. With the passage of the USA - Patriot act, a new world is revealed: warrants that keep cops and the FBI out are no longer needed, habeas corpus is in danger of becoming extinct and those […]
Do you remember when Kanye made his mark in the collective post-Katrina conscience when he said Bush doesn’t care about black people? Those on the west coast may not have seen it in the CA NBC telecast of the Katrina fundraising event, because Kanye’s comments were edited out.

Israel continues the shelling of Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. For three soldiers. Shelling is a misnomer; let me restate that:
Israel continues its grossly disproportionate blood bath by an equally machismo war machine.
