Executive Privelege Invoked to Shield Cheney
Quite frankly, this is total crap. The president and his VP should not be immune to legal preceedings because they don’t want their dirty laundry aired out. I mean he already commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby regarding a scandal…
For anyone who doesn’t know, this is regarding who leaked the name of an FBI agent […]
Michael DeBakey Dead at 99
Who??? That’s exactly what I said! Michael DeBakey was a heart surgeon who pioneered techniques such as the now commonplace heart bypass. This got me to thinking… what will people remember about me when I am gone?
9/11 “Mastermind” Faces Death Penalty
I just finished reading up on an article about the trial of the surviving 9/11 terrorists. Some of the quotes that struck me.
Their war-crimes tribunal is the highest-profile test yet of the military’s tribunal system, which faces an uncertain future. It also threatens to expose harsh interrogation techniques used on the men, who were in […]
Clinton Set to Concede Democratic Nomination
Once Obama gets the last 34.5 delegates or so, Clinton will concede the nomination, but not officially end her campaign so she can continue to negotiate and push Obama on issues. It has been speculated she could be a possible vice-presidential running mate this fall. I didn’t really like Clinton, Obama, or McCain, and I […]
Marine Discharged for Handing Out “Christian Coins”
The US military are NOT missionaries. This marine had the audacity to hand out Christian coins in an Islamic society. From a security point of view, this is a horrible idea and could provoke violence in the area. From a former Christian point of view, I do admire what he was trying to do. Ministering […]

“I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should […]
To Teflon or Not to Teflon…
…that is the question. I remember in 2004 the big hubbub about DuPont and teflon. There was a class-action lawsuit from 50000 or so people and it was settled for $107.6 million.
I’ve read alot of things that say teflon is safe, and others that say it is not safe. I don’t cook with metal spoons […]

Lou Pearlman Sentenced to 25 Years
The guy who made the Backstreet Boys and N’Sync has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for money laundering and using false statements under bankruptcy proceedings, among other things. The judge is willing to reduce his sentence by 1 month for every 1 million dollars he returns. $300 million (300,000,000 to put it in […]
McCain Against “Sit Down” With Iran
At least it would appear that way. Obama wants to have a sit down with Iran to discuss matters. It makes perfect sense to me, and like Obama said, we (USA) talked to Russia when they were threatening to wipe us off the face of the earth, and had the means to. McCain doesn’t feel […]
