I have many opinions on trying the 5 alleged 9/11 conspirators in New York City. I’m of the opinion that we should absolutely try them in a Federal Court, not military commissions. I’m also of the opinion that all Terrorism related cases should be tried in Federal Courts and not military commissions. I assume it [...]
I always like to look at the “new words” list that Oxford Dictionary puts out each year. It’s usually somewhat nerdy and well, that’s me.
Word of the Year – unfriend
Is unfriend Word of the Year material? I dunno, perhaps. I’ve heard the word used before, it’s a Facebook thing, but I don’t know anyone who [...]
So Barrett “Shared in Google Reader” a post about how there is some errant reporting on recovery.gov – the government’s website for publicly displaying how the money for that 787 billion dollar stimulus package that was passed in February 2009. The website shows jobs created or saved due to the stimulus in many Congressional districts [...]
Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL) reserved an hour to speak about health care. Republicans didn’t care for the way he was talking and unsuccessfully tried to cut off his speech.

For those unaware, Mao Zedong was the first Communist leader of [...]
According to a new Washington Post poll, people have roughly the same opinion of Democrats and Republicans as they did in 2008 and 2006 – the years Democrats made big gains in Congress. However, I’m still of the opinion that the Dems will lose some seats in the House and the Senate, though still maintaining [...]
Interesting news for the day, the Obama administration has issued a new policy on medical marijuana. I’m certainly not any kind of drug advocate, but I do have a number of opinions on drug use. While it may not be for me, individuals are their own people, it’s not my place to really give a [...]
I just read this Think Progress article on the hypocritical John Ensign and man is it funny. How can one guy who cheats on his wife tell another guy who cheats on his wife that he needs to resign from public office? Easy, when the former is a Republican and the latter is a Democrat. [...]
I have to agree with this bit by Bill Maher on President Obama. I think a lot of people feel this way about him, really. I don’t really blame Obama for being on the news 800 times a day about the most retarded of shit – that ugly ass dog for example, but [...]
