Good point!

From ProRev



READER KM notes that Condoleezza Rice’s behavior during her confirmation hearing recalls an exchange from Calvin & Hobbes:

Calvin: Question my integrity, will you?


Hobbes: I can’t question it until I see some evidence of it!

Lawsuits can be a good thing

Here in L.A., unlike other cities, there’s been little police harassment at protests and demonstrations. In fact, LAPD tends to work with organizers to insure things go smoothly.


It wasn’t always that way. A few years back the National Lawyers Guild in L.A. sued LAPD on three occasions for police misconduct at protests - and won. The upshot was LAPD decided it was simpler to work with demonstrators than risk getting sued again.


According to Jim Lafferty of the NLG in L.A., when Bush came here last summer, the Secret Service wanted to block the area for six blocks around and disallow an ANSWER protest. No, LAPD said, if you do that, the NLG will sue us and they will win. Besides, ANSWER organizers are professionals, they know what they’re doing. Let them have their protest.


And so we did.

Yellow and Porous and Outed

So SpongeBob SquarePants is gay. You think your small children, who may be glued to the TV set this morning, were just enthralled by a talking yellow sponge in suit pants. You’d be wrong. Actually, they are being brainwashed by a vast network of gay cartoon characters bent on destroying civilization as we know it.

Just shut up

If Sen. John Kerry believes he was cheated out of the White House, he should have challenged the outcome of the election. Since it is too late for that, he should just shut up and get on with trying to salvage the party from the wreckage he helped bring about.


Of course Kerry would never seriously challenge the system by confronting the voting system. He’s worth 710 million and has a serious vested interest in keeping things the way they are.


Sen. Barbara Boxer appears to be gettig it. She’s the first senator to seriously attack and question the Bushies. Predictably, the mainstream media ia all aflutter, wringing their hands at how could a senator be so tacky as to impugn Condoleezza Rice’s integrity. Because Condi doesn’t have any, that’s why, She’s continually and persistently lied about Iraq. And finally a sentor is confronting her about it.


Boxer is the first. There will be more, dissent is going mainstream.
