Minor wingnut talk radio figure Jim McQuinn out of Pittsburgh this morning confirms what most who can add 2 and 2 in order to come up with 4 already knew...

The Bush admin's recent labeling of Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization is part of a deliberate attempt to prepare the legal groundwork for an unprovoked attack on Iran in the very near future.

Since so many are feeling betrayed by the Democrats in Congress over the war funding capitulation, I wanted to diary the following web doo-dad that serves as a great educational tool and helps serve as a reminder to keep up the pressure for change.

Stuart Richards at the Libertarian community blog Hammer of Truth writes in his post "Probably the most explicitly evil thing I've seen our government do":

I never thought that I'd live to see the day where the American government would allow pesticide testing on little children against their will.
I wish I was making this up. But the story goes like this:

Some ask if America is becoming a police state. Regular readers of my blog will already have a pretty good idea of what my opinion is, but it occurs to me that perhaps the most important thing to stress is that this mostly isn't a well-demarcated, "either-or" sort of thing. At any one point in time, it could be said that such things are all a subjective matter of shades of gray. Eventually, though, it'll be to awkward to point out that it's become pitch black.

As Garet Garrett wrote:

"There was no painted sign to say: `You now are entering Imperium.' Yet it was a very old road and the voice of history was saying: `Whether you know it or not, the act of crossing may be irreversible.' And now, not far ahead, is a sign that reads: `No U-turns.'"

There was a great deal of nervous anticipation accompanying the announcement of the President's selection of Johnny Coch to defend him at the impeachment trial. Would Johnny use his famed Chewbacca Defense?

In a certain grimly satisfied way, I've been pleased to notice the level of indignation resulting from President Bush's acknowledgement that he broke the law by ordering surveillance of Americans without warrants. It's about damned time people woke up to the reality of abuse of power.

Many have noted their doubts that the Bush administration will ever peacefully leave office, due to members of the administration having committed so many crimes that they don't dare abandon power for fear of the indictments to follow.

Bearing that in mind, as well as the lack of remorse exhibited by the President when he incorrigibly stated his intention to continue defying the law, I believe that a broad change of outlook on the part of the American people, or such among them as value freedom anyway, is perhaps in order.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a prediction.

Regarding the revelation that President Bush (by his own admission) illegally took it upon himself to order the NSA to disregard laws that require the government to obtain warrants to surveill Americans, one thing that occurred almost immediately to me, but that I have yet to see anyone else catch on to, is this...

This regards the recent controversy over use of white phosphorus in the November 8th, 2004 assault on Fallujah in Iraq.

I'm looking for help with meteorological research to determine whether or not a smog-inducing temperature inversion formed immediately before or during the assault on Fallujah.

This isn't a tin-foil hat thing about weather manipulation. Rather, what if the anticipated assault was timed the way it was not merely for election reasons, but to wait for the right weather conditions?

I believe that may possibly have been the case. Here's why... Read More
