You may not think it's the big a deal to go from being the guy who's being bribed (a congressman) to the briber (a lobbyist) but it's quite a blow to the ego to be defeated and publicly displayed as a whore skirting lax laws you may have voted on yourself. When scurrilous California Republican Congressman Bill Lowery (a notorious check bouncer and bribe taker) was scared off by the less dishonest Duke...
On Wednesday, Oct. 21, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H. Res. 811, a congressional resolution to designate October 2009 as National Principals Month. Rep. Susan Davis, D-California, introduced the resolution, which honors elementary, middle, and high school principals for their passion and dedication to students across the country.

A new study has shown that sexually satisfied women are healthier than those who are not satisfied with their sex lives. A team of Australian scientists have conducted a study looking at the association between ‘positive wellbeing’ and sexuality and have discovered that women who were sexually happy were also happier generally in their lives. The group of researchers asked a group of 295...
From Live Science: Women who are sexually satisfied are also happier, no matter their age, a new study suggests. It's not clear which causes the other, however. You might be thinking, "Duh, better sex makes for a better mood." But in science, thinking something is true doesn't make it so. "A lot of the things we make assumptions about have never been documented," said study researcher...
That's the sub-title of today's front-page article in the San Diego Union-Tribune by Steve Liewer " A Matter of Honor ." If you haven't yet read our exclusive reporting on the broader problem of the Defense Department not even having a list of valor honors, or seeming to care, then see our post below: " Hollywood cares more for its' vets honors than the Defense Department ."

Via Teddy Partridge at FDL, the shocking news that military weapons are now being deployed against civilians in the United States, just as many of us predicted: You think your town hall meeting's law enforcement presence was authoritarian and heavy-handed? Check this out : San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore deployed (but did not use) military type sonic crowd-control devices at two town hall meetings, one...
deployed just gets better. According to what I just read at Confederate Yankee , Deploying the Long Range Acoustic Device to local events has provided ammunition to critics of Police Sheriff Bill Gore, who was the agent-in-charge of the FBI's infamous 1992 Ruby Ridge siege . Damn, doesn't that give you a lot of confidence in the SO having this weapon? Especially considering the following passage I'll...
I've been tied up with some personal issues so obviously a very late start today. Let me give you the prime links from my tweetstream and I'll be back in a bit. Jay Ackroyd passes on a link to video of his Netroots Nation panel . It was a really good one. Fun with FOIA on how to check your FBI file. Via Avedon , whom I've neglected terribly since my shoulder went out. Depsite wide debunking, Glenn...
Interesting question . "The [Long Range Acoustic Device] was stationed by San Diego County Sheriff deputies at a recent town hall forum hosted by Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-San Diego) in Spring Valley and at a subsequent town hall with Congressman Darrell Issa (R-San Diego)," East Country Magazine reported after reviewing official records. It was also parked at a local sand-building competition...
SONIC WEAPONS USED IN IRAQ POSITIONED AT CONGRESSIONAL TOWNHALL MEETINGS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY “Long-range acoustic devices [LRADs] for crowd control can be extremely dangerous. These are used in Iraq to control insurgents. They can cause serious and lasting harm to humans…We want to know WHY our Sheriff Dept has this weapon,” Sal Magallanez of San Diego-based Liberty One Radio said...
More change I don't believe in : " Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has decided not to bring criminal charges against a former Bush Administration official who lawmakers said lied to them in sworn testimony. An inspector general's report found that the official, Bradley Schlozman, the former head of the civil rights division of the Justice Department, had misled lawmakers about whether he politicized...
You think your town hall meeting's law enforcement presence was authoritarian and heavy-handed? Check this out: San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore deployed (but did not use) military type sonic crowd-control devices at two town hall meetings, one held by GOP Darrell Issa and the other by Democrat Susan Davis. These devices are the same as those used to control crowds of insurgents in the Iraq war theatre...
