REBOOT THE SYSTEM??
If Obama does as you seem to suggest, that we acknowledge that some wrong was done but we have to let bygones be bygones, reboot the system so to speak, then we have admitted in the full light of day that we have a multitiered legal system, not blind justice. It will always be disruptive to have investigations and possible prosecutions, but ...

Do we have any laws in this country?
How is it possible that the President can do all the things we have learned he can do without any Congressional restraint? Congress passes a law, and the President adds a note at the bottom when he signs it that serves to make the law do the opposite of what Congress intended.

Sexual Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement & the InterNET

They gave away our American two-party system; they gave away majority rule; they gave away our civil rights and bill of rights and civil liberties; they gave away the constitutional authority of the ...

"Feminine" Taliban
Thomas Dworzak obviously does not understand the people or the culture he intends to depict in his photo essay. Many of the individuals he features are not Taliban per se, but rather members of the alliance, a loosely affiliated coalition of many different tribes and peoples. They are easy discernable by the obvious lack of iconic symbolism used ...

Why I'm an American in Exile...

But what if it wasn't you?
Anse:For one thing, cameras at intersections that are intended to deter traffic violations have been around Houston now for a year or two, and I think they're great. I have witnessed at least two collisions and countless near-misses because of reckless drivers trying to beat red lights. I feel a pang of satisfaction whenever I see that camera ...
