Fifteen participants in a protest organized by Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) which took place on the campus of Hofstra University during the last Presidential debate were arraigned yesterday in Nassau county, New York on charges of disorderly conduct. This is the group, known as the Hempstead 15, against whom the police used horses, […]
Obama is desperate to bailout General Motors and even says the bank bailout bill that passed recently amid great controversy gives the President the discretion to do so. Is this change? Obama has been far more receptive than Bush to having the government intervene to rescue another major sector of the economy. He called automakers […]
CNN is showing a new documentary on the Colombian cocaine industry. The two-part video is about 25 minutes long. It’s quite interesting and worth a watch if you’re concerned about the unintended consequences of the prohibition on certain drugs. They only Catch the Harmless Ones In part 1, we learn about Michael, a French citizen […]

Maricopa County Sherrif’s Office adds another notch to their belts. They tortured and murdered a drug addict person. Let’s hope this guy wins the next election.
Who will bail out the government? Not only are we faced with a growing national debt and the costs of bailing out Wall Street, but we’re also short $53 trillion needed to cover current commitments for Social Security, Medicare and other entitlements.
