Judge Dismisses Phone Records Lawsuit

By MIKE ROBINSON

CHICAGO (AP) - Citing national security, a federal judge Tuesday threw out a lawsuit aimed at blocking AT&T from giving telephone records to the government for use in the war on terror.

The ACLU argued that the practice was no longer secret, because numerous news reports had made it clear that phone records had been given to the agency.

Security my ass. Nixonian grade tyranny, more like it.

Anybody help a brudda out, and find this guitar? I want to buy, nobody wants to sell!

Try this.

Damn, that feels good….!

Biker gang auctions off a day with them

SYDNEY, Australia - The Comanchero Motorcycle Club is auctioning off a day in the life of a biker, including a visit to the infamous site of a shootout with a rival gang that left six people dead.

The club has advertised the chance to spend eight hours with three or four Comancheros on their Harley Davidsons in Sydney on internet auction site eBay, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

Why is the Bush administration doing both this…and this?

Insanity.

Sen. Inhofe Compares People Who Believe In Global Warming To ‘The Third Reich’

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) is the nation’s most prominent global warming denier. He famously declared that global warming is “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” Now, he’s taken the argument a step further. In an interview with Tulsa World, Inhofe compared people who believed global warming was a problem to Nazis:

“It kind of reminds . . . I could use the Third Reich, the big lie,” Inhofe said.

Just a friendly idiot alert from TTP. You’re welcome.

Washers and dryers that link wirelessly to Internet-connected home networks are being tested by consumers who are receiving updates on their dirty laundry via cell phones, computers and TV sets.

Messages not only indicate when a wash is complete but also can warn that a lint filter is clogged or a load is too large. Users can remotely command the machines to fluff dry clothes or start a load from a distance after being told — oops — they forgot to start the wash.

Kill me now.

Buckley finds himself parting ways with President Bush, whom he praises as a decisive leader but admonishes for having strayed from true conservative principles in his foreign policy.

“If you had a European prime minister who experienced what we’ve experienced it would be expected that he would retire or resign,” Buckley says.

An adviser to President George W. Bush wants the White House Counsel’s office to be “beef[ed] up” in case a possibly Democratic controlled House pursues a “tangle of investigations,” according to a Time Magazine web exclusive.

Near the end of an article about how “the crisis in Lebanon has dragged the Administration into the role of potential peacemaker,” Time’s Mike Allen reports that the Administration’s “outlook” for the midterm elections reads “ominous” for the Republican Party and for President Bush.

In the last few days, we’ve been treated to the spectacle of our “president” in public.

Clearly, someone needs to page Colonel Richard Tubb. Whatever meds King George is on, they ain’t working. Up the dose, or lock his silly ass away, before he starts drooling and fondling himself in public. Geez. This is embarrassing.
