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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]
