As part of the continuing efforts to make it clear to the rest of the world that they’re not welcome here in the good ol’ U.S. of A., three U.S.-Canada border crossings are now going to start forcing non-Canadians who cross into the U.S. to carry wireless RFID-cards that’ll contain their personal information. Apparently photographing […]
There’s always something new to learn about Supreme Court nominee John Roberts. Long story short, Roberts played a big role in stealing the election in Florida in 2000, despite Newsweek assertions to the contrary. This guy may not be as bad as some of the extremists that Bush might have picked, but he’s looking more […]
If you’re planning to ride on the NYC subway system any time soon, know your rights.
David Sirota has written an excellent piece that does a good job of summing up the damage that the corporate shills in the so-called Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) have done to both the image and the electoral hopes of the Democrats.

New York City will begin making random checks of bags and backpacks at subway stations, commuter railways and on buses, officials announced today in the wake of a second wave of bombings on the […]
Things are going more and more badly for the adminstration and its flunkies.
As the Bush administration tries to sweep the Rove story off the front pages by quickly nominating a new Supreme Court justice, I’ll take a moment to point to a couple of interesting Plame-related items. First, there’s this ABC News poll: Should Karl Rove Be Fired If He Leaked Classified Information? Yes No All 75% […]
Over on The Progress Report, they’re taking the time to debunk all of the new spin that the Republican operatives are trying to put out to get Karl Rove off the hook. There’s also an excellent piece on TPMCafe that takes to task the idea that Valerie Plame was somehow not really a covert CIA […]
