Former Reagan Official Warns Bush Might Attack US

by Jeff Herz

Here is another post by Jen C, that has been on my mind at least since 9/11. As I said on a comment over at Seev’s today, I honestly don’t think that our government had anything to do with the terrorist attacks 6 years ago.
I do believe that the executive branch has certainly taken every [...]

Why National REAL ID is a bad idea

by Jeff Herz

Real ID will ’strengthen’ Americans’ privacy
In written testimony (DHS Secretary Michael) Chertoff submitted (PDF) on Wednesday to the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee, he made another pitch for his department’s requirements, which generally say that starting on May 11, 2008, Americans will need a federally approved, “machine readable” ID card to travel [...]

More to the Larry Craig Bust than meets the eye?

by Jeff Herz

I had a comment this morning from Jen Clark on The Monster that won’t die that I thought was worth talking about. She posts that there could be more to the Larry Craig scandal than meets the eye, stating that he was outed for opposing Bush’s eavesdropping. Now I have to be honest before this [...]

Is Libertarian the new Conservative?

by Jeff Herz

I was reading the news last night, when this headline caught my eye:
As Republican Hypocrisy Party Tanks, Conservatives Lean Libertarian
Yesterday, MSNBC news network, Chris Mattews introduced a daily newspaper editor from one of the “most conservative papers in America.” She corrected him, saying their editorial page was conservative, and then [...]

Where are today’s leaders?

by Jeff Herz

I have been thinking a lot recently about politics and about the upcoming election. I have subscribed to some of the candidates email distributions to keep tabs on what they are up to, and to see if I they will provide me with any details about their positions. To say the least, [...]

Has Bush become an unlawful combatant?

by Jeff Herz

I found this over at the Populist Party, which is “a political party that seeks solutions to our problems through the establishment of a Constitutional Democracy and strict adherence to the Bill of Rights. Your liberty is our goal; governmental form is simply the method to achieving it.” While I [...]

Today is a great Day

by Jeff Herz

This was orignially posted last year on 2/16/06, and still seems appropriate:
Today is a great day!!
Today is the first day of the new baseball season when Pitchers and Catchers report. It is almost like the you can feel the winter coming to an end (in spite of todays snowy forecast) and a warm breeze blowing [...]

Privacy and Security Needs Proper Balance

by Jeff Herz

From the Journal Times and the LA Times an excellent summation of my current frustration with the current administration’s policy on this subject:
SLOWLY BUT surely, the National Security Agency’s eavesdropping on Americans suspected of ties with foreign terrorists is being brought under the rule of law. But the Bush administration [...]

ARod Soft Shoe Begins early this year

by Jeff Herz

So I open up the Stamford Advocate this morning and see this article about how Alex Rodriguez is already side-stepping the issue of whether he will opt out of his record breaking $252 million contract at the end of this season.   This is the same out clause that JD Drew and Scott Boras (Arod’s agent too) [...]

Turner to Pay for Boston Officials Stupidity and Hy ...

by Jeff Herz

One thing is for sure, Turner and Aqua Teen Hunger Force certainly is getting a lot of publicity out of this guerilla marketing campaign, and now it seems they are paying a little more for it as well, in the form of fines to the fine folks up in Boston MA, for [...]

Congratulations to Indy (nee Baltimore) Colts

by Jeff Herz

Peyton Manning has finally gotten that monkey off his back, and can now rest easily knowing that as a legitimate first ballot Hall-of-Famer has he done the one remaining thing left off his resume; Won the Super Bowl.
Congratulations to Tony Dungy and the rest of the Indianapolis organization. They played an excellent [...]

Barry Bonds is still not signed

by Jeff Herz

It is very amusing to me that since November, when the Giants and Bonds verbally agreed to a contract, that nothing has been finalized yet. I have no doubt that he will be signed before spring training or soon after it begins. It was announced yesterday, that they had finally come to [...]

Constitutional Crisis in the Making

by Jeff Herz

This is an excellent explanation of what the Congress can do to slow down or stop, King George II and Dick (The Penguin) Cheney in their continuing war effort. What I don’t understand is why the neo-cons are continually to disregard the explicit ideals of the founding fathers with regards to the constitution.
The three branches [...]

Yankees in Tough Spot with Bernie Williams

by Jeff Herz

Brian Cashman, the GM of the NY Yankees finds himself in a tough spot these days. His dilemna; what to do with Bernie Williams. As of today, Cashman has not indicated if he is going to bring Bernie back for another season in pinstripes. Williams has been in Bronx since 1991, and is nearing the [...]

Vice Squad, and your privacy

by Jeff Herz

So I saw this piece from the St. Louis Post Dispatch, written by Kevin Horrigan, Vice Squad: A perfectly legitimate scoop, which does a great job of summing up my concerns with the recent violations of personal civil rights by members of the executive branch.  It begs the question of where is the line of [...]

Baseball Rumor

by Jeff Herz

I have pretty much given up on the Red Sox and trade rumors, especially after they have threatened to trade Manny Ramirez for the past few winters but yet have sat tight with him, And being a Yankee fan it is certainly biased to comment on your main rivals speculative moves.
However, I just saw on [...]

At Ease, Mr. President Indeed

by Jeff Herz

A friend of mine over at Dave’s Chronic Malcontents, sent me a link this weekend from the New York Times Op-Ed section written by Garry Wills. Mr. Wills, makes an excellent and much needed point
WE hear constantly now about “our commander in chief.” The word has become a synonym for “president.” It is said that [...]

Miami Vice (the TV Show) sucks

by Jeff Herz

Picture the scene,
Your ear to the wall,
Like a distant scream
I heard one guitar
and my whole life changed
Wait a minute, it is a bad sign when you immediately digress from your original rant about how terrible Miami Vice (the TV Series) is, and go right into the lyrics of ‘Jukebox Hero’ by Foreigner. So let me [...]

An important announcement from the Scientific community.
A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named “Bushcronium.”
Bushcronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311.
These particles are held together [...]

Should 6th Grade Girls be vaccinated for STD and Ca ...

by Jeff Herz

I am not sure what is going on in Illinois or why a state legislator would introduce a bill that would mandate that 6th grade girls receive the HPV vaccination, I found this article online at Stop The ACLU, (which is somewhat of an interesting name, since this cause seems like a case the ACLU [...]

Are Democrats Too Nice?

by Jeff Herz

I saw this article in the Stamford Advocate, via the LA Times written by Jonathan Chiat, and thought it was quite interesting to say the least. It essentially lays out the political minefield that is Washington D.C. I have been engaging in a discussion with E-Luv’s Big Mouth, about how much accolades Senator Jim Webb [...]

Roommate Choosing is my Right, not the Government&# ...

by Jeff Herz

I found this article at Reason, and just need to laugh at the attempt by the governmental agencies trying to regulate roommates.com, and more importantly attempting to change how we look for cohabitants.
 
“I may not be a gay man, but I have a lot of things in common with gay men. I’m very tidy. I [...]

Why Hillary Can’t Win in November 2008

by Jeff Herz

It is 22 months until Nov 2008, when we will go to the polls and elect the next President of the United States of America. It is a wide open race because the sitting president is unable to run, the vice-president has said he won’t run, so the race will be wide open for both [...]

Election 2008: No More Clinton or Bush’s

by Jeff Herz

I was just going to add this to the links of the day, when I saw a few things I wanted to highlight here from Paris Lemon
The Los Angeles Times had a very interesting op-ed piece today which points out something that seems to be almost completely overlooked; say Hillary Clinton is elected President in [...]

Why Oprah Winfrey is bad for the Country

by Jeff Herz

Here is another brilliant reason of why Oprah Winfrey and all those like her are not good for the country, should not be listened to, is not a roll model and quite possibly should be removed from the airwaves forever. This is a perfect example of her exploiting a family simply to hop on a [...]

California Considers Spanking Ban

by Jeff Herz

According to Yahoo, there is this crack pot in California legislature (I know that is hard to believe), who wants to outlaw spanking of children under 3.
A California lawmaker says she has proposed a law that would make spanking a small child a crime to be punished by jail time or a [...]

Mitchell Investigation continues in Baseball

by Jeff Herz

ESPN is reporting that former Senator George Mitchell, who had been appointed by commissioner Bud Selig to investigate steroid usage in baseball in 2006 (which I wrote about on 3/30/06 and you can read here).  He has essentially been stonewalled by the teams and the players including the union ever since then [...]

President Bush Reverses Himself on Warrantless Wire ...

by Jeff Herz

Well it seems that el Presidente and his high and mighty Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez have finally decided to reverse course and request warrants for domestic surveillance. This has been 5 years in the making, and I think the executive branch believes if they just turn around and say now we [...]

Scrubs the Musical

by Jeff Herz

I just saw Scrubs tonight and it was a musical. It was so well written and absolutely hysterical. Who knew the Janitor (Neil Flynn) could sing so well.Tonight’s episode centered around a patient who hears everyone singing in a musical style. So they did an entire story line as if the show were [...]

Most Wanted by Sean Manton

by Jeff Herz

I know  this is a shameless plug, but here is an email and link to my college friend’s video, which is being submitted to become part of a new TV Show. Please give it a view, I actually think it is quite good.
I recently completed a short film and entered it into competition for an [...]
