A very interesting notion is coming from the Republicans, especially the new guard House Republicans seem intent on blowing up the staid appropriations process when they take power in January — potentially upending the old bulls in both parties who have spent decades building their power over the federal budget. The plans include slicing and […]

Something seems to be missing from their idea regarding what the Internet should be about, though Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is moving forward with a net neutrality order at the agency’s December meeting, setting the stage for a likely fight over the contentious web rules on Capitol Hill. Genachowski released the agenda for […]

Why is this an outrage? For sale: The funeral flag of the first U.S. servicewoman killed in Afghanistan. And her dog tag. And her military medals. Even the Gold Star banner given to her family after her death. The price: The Northwest Indiana businessman who now owns many of the late Marine Sgt. Jeannette Winters’ […]

Do you know know what the maggot mob is? That is the nickname some celebrities use for the paparrazi, particularly the ones who look for the big shot, the one where a starlet flashes her panties, or something else. The one where the star is getting out of a car with a hooker. The one […]

Usually, one can depend on Rep. Peter King, who has sat on the House Homeland Security Committee and will soon be chairman, to be very sensible, especially when it comes to supporting Conservatives and the War on Terrorism. But, like most people (including me), every once in a while he has to get stuck on […]

Remember back a few days ago, I mention the “Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act†passing the Senate judiciary committee? Well, apparently the Department of Homeland Security and their Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit doesn’t need any other stinking law. As Torrent Freak reports Following on the heels of this week’s domain seizure of a […]

See, I’ve been saying this was a great idea (yes, she does show the bikini near the end) “I’m wearing my bikini,” Corinne Theile said as she unbuttoned her overcoat outside the terminal to reveal a black two-piece. “It’s not that I’m concerned, it’s that I feel like the TSA is making travelers feel uncomfortable, […]

I’m torn on this idea: on one hand, we have all had our backgrounds checked for one purpose or another, from applying for a credit card to applying for a job. On the other hand, those are all simply voluntary, and here you’ll have the government checking your background like you’re a criminal to see […]
