Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich has seen enough from this White House and is now
leading the charge with nine other members of Congress to try and stop Obama from saving the
lives of the brave rebels in Libya. The bipartisan members from the House includes Ron Paul.
The lawsuit filed against the Obama administration seeks:
"Injunctive and declaratory relief to protect the plaintiffs and the country from a stated policy of
defendant Obama, whereby a president may unilaterally go to war in Libya and other countries
without the declaration of war from Congress."
There goes Kucinich again.
In all his years in congress, did Kucinich ever sue the Bush bastards for wars, rapes,
kidnapping torture and murder?
No, he only goes after his allies, not the enemy.
Maybe it's time for Dennis to try the private sector?
TAMPA, Fla. — Mitt Romney sat at the head of the table at a coffee shop here on Thursday, listening to a group of unemployed Floridians explain the challenges of looking for work. When they finished, he weighed in with a predicament of his own.
"I should tell my story," Mr. Romney said. "I'm also unemployed."
Screw you, Romney, you callous douchebag.
And while we're at it, shall we revisit that interview with your wife?
Dressage is a sport of seven-figure horses and four-figure saddles. The monthly boarding costs are more than most people's rent. Asked how many dressage horses she owns, Mrs. Romney laughed. "Mitt doesn't even know the answer to that," she said. "I'm not going to tell you!"
Yeah, Mitt, you're just a regular shmoe, down in the trenches with the rest of America.

It never stops with this crowd. Enough is never enough and political leaders are afraid of any real change that might protect the rest of the country from these bandits.

This is far more serious than some are intimating. In America you do not sic the CIa on your political opponents. And worse, the CIA should know not to agree to do it. While thhe NYT report says CIA officials caught a document that targeted the blogger, and deleted the reference, the damage and crime was done: the White House had already asked CIA to spy on an American, and CIA did it. It's not enough to delete tbe offending information. This is a crime. And a rather serious one. The President needs to launch a formal investigation now, into what happened here, and whether any other Americans were illegally targeted. I know President Obama isn't a huge fan of accountability. But this goes to the core of who we are. It's beyond wrong.
UPDATE: Juan Cole is calling for a congressional investigation.
I hope that the Senate and House Intelligence Committees will immediately launch an investigation of this clear violation of the law by the Bush White House and by the CIA officials concerned.
It's interesting that the CIA is claiming they "search their records" and can't find anything on this. Well duh. Do you really think they were stupid enough to make a record of an obviously illegal request from the White House? And, as noted, the illegal memo on Cole was redacted. Doesn't the CIA have backup servers? This merits an investigation, from Congress and from the Obama White House. This is an incredibly serious allegation.

Hope for sale
Broke Americans Selling Personal Letters From Obama To Pay Bills
Here is your official notice that Hope and Change have perished from the earth, forever. A struggling young pregnant Indiana mother of three was fired from her job because of pregnancy complications because that is how the market stays "efficient," so she is selling off a personal letter that Obama wrote her last November in order to avoid being evicted. This sounds like a better recession recovery plan than the current one! Obama can send everyone a handwritten letter promising them that their backbreaking poverty is just an illusion that will go away, which everyone can then sell and continue on with their poverty but without foregoing their cancer treatments.

They stopped caring...
Some say that maybe it is a bad idea to base a political party's ideology on a belief that altruism, democracy and Christianity are "evil." Others say that maybe it is a bad idea to base a country's policies on fictional novels rather than science and history. Still others say is it a bad idea for national leaders to think of most of the public as "parasites" while saying people with tons of cash are "producers" who should govern. I am talking about the Republican Party's embrace of Ayn Rand and her cruel philosophy.Thing is, I'll bet most of the powerful Rethugs are as atheist as I am (their god is money and power) and Rand was. It's the idiots who vote for them who actually believe their cracked ideology of Bizarro Jesus and Greed is Good. If those people actually understood that the Party of Fiscal Responsibility looked at them as the "parasites", they'd be a buncha people swinging at the end of a rope*. Unfortunately, it's very hard for the average Republican voter to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

At a new website (still in beta) called The Conversation, set up to be a unfiltered source of news and analysis from the Australian academic community, a group of Australian climate scientists are trying to do to climate "skeptics" (aka buffoons and/or grifters) what Bruins forward Brad Marchand did to Daniel Sedin's chin in Game Six. In an open letter announcing the start of two weeks worth of demonstration that climate change is real, due to human activity, and amenable to certain kinds of action within our power if not our grasp. They write:
The overwhelming scientific evidence tells us that human greenhouse gas emissions are resulting in climate changes that cannot be explained by natural causes.###Climate change is real, we are causing it, and it is happening right now.
When Rep. Peter King (R-NY) called a hearing on Muslim radicalism, he probably didn't expect Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) to turn the spotlight on "Christian militants."But that's exactly what she did Wednesday.
Jackson Lee noted that one witness who wrote a letter to the committee about the dangers of radical Islam in prisons had been arrested for bombing an abortion clinic.
"Are you familiar with the Christian militants?" she asked former New York Dept. of Correctional Services official Patrick Dunleavy. "Can one might say that they might possibly want to undermine this country because right now the right for women to choose is a Constitutional right but people disagree with it but here is an individual trying to undermine the protections that are given to women? Would you suggest that might be compared to trying to undermine this country? That's a possibility, is it not?"
"Well, I think that anyone that goes about killing in the name of God is an ideologue," Dunleavy admitted.
