Via the Courier Journal (it was the first on the list) WASHINGTON — The New York Times committed treason by revealing an anti-terrorism program that checks international banking records of Americans and others, U.S. Sen.

Everyone Knew It

June 27, 2006 – 6:33 pm

Just a general thought: if everyone knew that USA and the Treasury Department were investigating where the terrorist money is, where it came from, and where it is going, then how come the NY Slimes had to splash it all over the front page? We all know that the weather is going to do something. […]

NY Times: Let’s Burn The Flag

June 27, 2006 – 8:35 am

In a typical Times editorial, the paper is taking the position that a Constitutional amendment would be, well, unconstitutional. With the Fourth of July fast approaching, Senate Republicans are holding a barbecue. Unfortunately, instead of grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, they are trying to torch a hole in the First Amendment's free speech guarantee by […]

But All The Terrorists Knew!!!!!!

June 26, 2006 – 8:09 pm

I am going to cite Raven's post on the Times treason for a 2nd time today, regarding one of the comments. It is similar to something that I have heard around the left-o-sphere a few times, namely, that the terrorists already knew we were involved in all types of intelligence programs, such as electronic surveillance […]

US Secretly Probes financial records to track terrorists

June 25, 2006 – 7:19 pm

What is wrong with that headline? That is what was on Yahoo News.  The US government has secretly monitored banking transactions around the globe since the September 11, 2001 attacks, top officials said, defending the program as a "lawful" part of the war on terror. Well, it isn't secret anymore. Thanks, asshats. Or as Beth […]

A Positive USA Today Story On Iraq (?)

June 2, 2006 – 11:30 am

I’m dumbfounded. The editors must be asleep at the USA Today  A few things are inevitable as Iraq moves from the mild heat of winter into the stifling heat of summer: It will be hot. Electrical grids will whine under the increased demand of millions of air conditioners and air coolers. And Iraqis will eat […]

Life And Death Every Day!

May 10, 2006 – 4:22 pm

Found this old article about WWII Normandy, France (CNN) — “Don’t let me die! Please, don’t let me die,” the U.S. soldier said repeatedly as medics carried him to the trauma room. His glazed eyes focused on an Army chaplain kneeling over him. There was blood everywhere. A roadside bomb that exploded next to his […]
