Yep, the world is flat, the earth is the center of the universe and there is no other life out there

Senate Passes Unconstitutional Spying Bill And Grants Sweeping Immunity To Phone Companies (7/9/2008) ACLU Announces Legal Challenge To Follow President’s Signature FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: (202) 675-2312, media@dcaclu.org or (212) 549-2666; media@aclu.org WASHINGTON – Today, in a blatant assault upon civil liberties and the right to privacy, the Senate passed an unconstitutional domestic spying bill that violates the Fourth Amendment and eliminates any meaningful role for judicial oversight of government surveillance. The FISA Amendments Act of 2008 was approved by a vote of 69 to 28 and is expected to be signed into law by President Bush shortly. This bill essentially legalizes the president’s unlawful warrantless wiretapping program revealed in December 2005 by the New York Times. “Once again, Congress blinked and succumbed to the president’s fear-mongering. With today’s vote, the government has been given a green light to expand its power to spy on Americans and run roughshod over the Constitution,” said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union. “This legislation will give the government unfettered and unchecked access to innocent Americans’ international communications without a warrant. This is not only unconstitutional, but absolutely un-American.” The FISA Amendments Act nearly eviscerates oversight of government surveillance by allowing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to review only general procedures for spying rather than individual warrants. The FISC will not be told any specifics about who will actually be wiretapped, thereby undercutting any meaningful role for the court and violating the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable search and seizure. The bill further trivializes court review by authorizing the government to continue a surveillance program even after the government’s general spying procedures are found insufficient or unconstitutional by the FISC. The government has the authority to wiretap through the entire appeals process, and then keep and use whatever information was gathered in the meantime. A provision touted as a major “concession” by proponents of the bill calls for investigations by the inspectors general of four agencies overseeing spying activities. But members of Congress who do not sit on the Judiciary or Intelligence committees will not be guaranteed access to the agencies’ reports. The bill essentially grants absolute retroactive immunity to telecommunication companies that facilitated the president’s warrantless wiretapping program over the last seven years by ensuring the dismissal of court cases pending against those companies. The test for the companies’ right to immunity is not whether the government certifications they acted on were actually legal – only whether they were issued. Because it is public knowledge that certifications were issued, all of the pending cases will be summarily dismissed. This means Americans may never learn the truth about what the companies and the government did with our private communications. “With one vote, Congress has strengthened the executive branch, weakened the judiciary and rendered itself irrelevant,” said Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. “This bill – soon to be law – is a constitutional nightmare. Americans should know that if this legislation is enacted and upheld, what they say on international phone calls or emails is no longer private. The government can listen in without having a specific reason to do so. Our rights as Americans have been curtailed and our privacy can no longer be assumed.” In advance of the president’s signature, the ACLU announced its plan to challenge the new law in court. “This fight is not over. We intend to challenge this bill as soon as President Bush signs it into law,” said Jameel Jaffer, Director of the ACLU National Security Project. “The bill allows the warrantless and dragnet surveillance of Americans’ international telephone and email communications. It plainly violates the Fourth Amendment.” For more information, go to: www.aclu.org/fisa

article TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Federal officials say a bird did not cause a large dent in the nose of a Northwest Airlines plane that landed in Tampa. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says Tuesday that the aircraft's fiberglass nose cone and an antenna have been shipped to Minneapolis for analysis. Officials there haven't determined what caused the dent in the Boeing 757, but there is no evidence of a bird strike. Bergen says the crew aboard Flight 478 from Detroit reported a loud bang Monday and then the aircraft's radar became inoperative. The plane landed safely. A Tampa International Airport spokeswoman initially blamed the dent on a bird. But Bergen says the crew reported the bang while flying at 18,000 feet — an altitude too high for a bird.

article WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate Wednesday passed controversial legislation meant to update the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The vote was 69-28. The bill now moves to the president's desk. President Bush is expected to sign the bill. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, voted for the update. Obama had opposed the FISA reform legislation. A number of individuals have have criticized him for changing his position on the bill. Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was not in the Senate Wednesday. He was campaigning in Portsmouth, Ohio, when the vote occurred. I know my senator Clinton was one of the 28 that said no. Obviously she listened to those she represents and all of our bitching. I'm so far beyond pissed and disgusted this passed. More power and immunity for our dictator and his buddies. I think I understand why people engage in suicide bombings.

U.S. officials, political candidates condemn exercise TEHRAN, Iran - Iran test-fired nine long- and medium-range missiles Wednesday during war games that officials said were intended to show the country can retaliate against any U.S. or Israeli attack, state television reported. The test-firings were widely condemned in the United States, notably by the White House and the two main candidates for the presidency. The exercise was being conducted at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which about 40 percent of the world's oil passes. Iran has threatened to shut down traffic in the strait if attacked. Oil prices jumped on news of the missile tests, rising $1.80 to $137.84 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange by afternoon in Europe. Gen. Hossein Salami, the air force commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, said the exercise would "demonstrate our resolve and might against enemies who in recent weeks have threatened Iran with harsh language," the TV report said. Footage showed at least six missiles firing simultaneously and said the barrage included a new version of the Shahab-3 missile, which officials have said has a range of 1,250 miles and is armed with a 1-ton conventional warhead. That would put Israel, Turkey, the Arabian peninsula, Afghanistan and Pakistan within striking distance. "Our hands are always on the trigger and our missiles are ready for launch," the official IRNA news agency quoted Salami as saying Wednesday. U.S. officials told NBC News that U.S. intelligence had detected only seven Iranian missiles — six short-range and one longer-range Sahab 3. The officials said that analysts have yet to verify Iran's claim that the longer-range Sahab had a range of 12,000 miles. they're being threatened, the tests are a logical response they were not nuks

I don't think he's as dunb as he plays it, but he is pretty dense and trips up when he doesn't know how to answer a question. I think he's a front man for the group of shitz running this country into the ground.

http://www.aetv.com/the-two-coreys/ Remember Corey Haim and Corey Feldman? My sis loved Haim when we were growing up and told me about the show. I checked it out and youtube'd eps I missed. Its sad to see what happened to these guys. It came out in the show that they were both molested when they were 14, they've had serious drug problems, their friendship was trashed... all kinds of bad shit. Just wondering if anyone has checked it out.

>.<

now this is just rediclious Librarian with ‘McCain=Bush’ sign charged with trespassing at public campaign event.» Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was in Denver, CO, today for a town hall meeting. The event, at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, was billed as “open to the public.” Yet Carol Kreck, a 61-year-old librarian carrying a “McCain=Bush” sign, was taken away by police for trespassing. A police officer told Kreck: You have two choices. You can keep your sign here and receive a ticket for trespassing, or you can remove the sign and stay in line and attend this town hall meeting. 6lyaMrS0hzk& Kreck received a ticket for trespassing and her court date is July 23. McCain has apparently taken a page from the Bush playbook. In 2005, the White House had three activists expelled from a Denver public forum with President Bush because it was the administration’s policy “to exclude potentially disruptive guests from Bush’s appearances nationwide.” wtf?
