Federal agents may take a traveler's laptop computer or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed. Also, officials may share copies of the laptop's contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption or other reasons, according to the policies, dated July 16 and issued by two DHS agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "The policies . . . are truly alarming," said Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.),["...but upon probable cause..."]
He's still fucking stupid!
John McCain told David Letterman on October 18, 2001 that the anthrax attacks came from Iraq. He also joked that Osama bin Laden would be dead by Halloween. That was almost seven years ago, asshole. Dumber than Bush.
[And of course, it wasn't Saddam, or any other Muslim, who was behind the anthrax attacks. It turns out to be another "churchgoing, family-oriented" rightwing nutcase. Boy, what a surprise, huh?]
Posse Comitatus anyone?
He's talking about American neighborhoods
JOHN MCCAIN: And some of those tactics — you mention the war in Iraq — are like that we use in the military. You go into neighborhoods, you clamp down, you provide a secure environment for the people that live there, and you make sure that the known criminals are kept under control. And you provide them with a stable environment and then they cooperate with law enforcement, etc, etc.

Pretty deep
A team of Russian scientists descended to the bottom of Siberia's Lake Baikal in two mini-submarines on Tuesday, setting a new world record for a freshwater dive. News channel Vesti-24 said the submersibles, Mir-1 and Mir-2, reached a depth of 1,680 meters (5,500 feet) in the world's deepest lake, which holds 20% of the planet's fresh water.(Photo tour with RIA Novosti: Lake Baikal)They're all playing us like fools
A prominent Taliban commander boasted to NBC News in an interview that Afghan officials are aiding his forces in fighting U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan. In the interview, wanted Taliban commander Sirajuddin Haqqani said that the corrupted Afghan officials are a key to the Taliban's military success. “They inform us of the movements of U.S. and NATO troops. There have even been some instances where they have assisted us in carrying out attacks,” Haqqani said.

Water on Mars
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - NASA scientists said on Thursday they had definitive proof that water exists on Mars after further tests on ice found on the planet in June by the Phoenix Mars Lander. "We have water," said William Boynton, lead scientist for the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer instrument on Phoenix.
Obama actually read the EIA report
Properly maintaining your car would save more oil than new offshore drilling will produce
Earlier this week Barack Obama stated, "...making sure your tires are properly inflated” is one of the “things that you can do individually…to save energy -- “we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups.” I guess Newt Gingrich and Druggie Limbaugh got a good laugh from that one. But guess what? Obama gets the last laugh because unlike Gingrich and Limbaugh, he actually read the facts and properly maintaining vehicles “could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling” — and by a long shot". In fact, four times as much. If people would only read the simple facts instead of embarrassingly regurgitating nonsense from idiots.
Nailed
A New York City police officer has been placed behind a desk after being caught on tape deliberately pushing a man off of his bike during a Friday Critical Mass event in Times Square.[The bicyclist was arrested for assaulting the cop. That cop needs his ass kicked.]
What's the rush?
MINNEAPOLIS - A year after the worst U.S. bridge collapse in a generation brought calls for immediate repairs to other spans, two of every three of the busiest problem bridges in each state — carrying nearly 40 million vehicles a day — have had no work beyond regular maintenance.
[We sure could use that $15 billion a month that's squandered in Iraq]
Recycled
A previously unknown portrait of a woman by Vincent van Gogh has been revealed in a high-tech look beneath another of his paintings, it was announced today. Scientists used a new technique to peer beneath the paint of van Gogh's "Patch of Grass." Already it was known there was something there, likely a portrait of some sort. Van Gogh was known to paint over his work, perhaps as much as a third of the time. Behind the painting, done mostly in greens and blues, is a portrait of a woman rendered in browns and reds.'Jesus Cheeto'
A High Ridge, Missouri woman says she has found Jesus in a bag of Cheetos. Kelly Ramey says, "I think I found Jesus on a Cheeto as funny as that sounds." "I looked at that and I thought, 'Oh my that looks like Jesus on the cross.' It was just like wow," she says.

With Broken Back Tasered 19 Times
"This time it's a white 16 year old male teenager who suffered a broken back after a thirty foot fall in Ozark, Missouri. When police arrived the boy was incoherent and refused to get up when ordered to do so, so police tasered him 19 fucking times! I bet that'll teach him some respect for law enforcement officers!"The Limbaugh Award
Finally, my vote actually counts for something!
This week's Limbaugh Award was a hard fought battle by a vacation-depleted committee of nine members that ironically came down to a three way tie, with three members each voting for Sean Hannity, Dana Milbank and 'Traitor' Joe Lieberman. My vote was the tie-breaker!
This week had Sean Hannity lying again -- Okay, his lips are always moving -- when he made up the lie that Barack Obama had something to do with his written 'prayer' being stolen from the Western Wall. That is a lie and he said it more than once during the week but it is Sean Hannity and Fox News after all, so I had to take that into consideration when weighing these three liars.
Then there was Dana Milbank shamelessly cropping Barack Obama's statement in his Washington Post Op-ed.
Milbank's lie was jumped on pretty quickly and except for a few million inbred wingnuts, it didn't get much traction, so I weighed that into my decision also.
But then you have 'Traitor' Joe. Every evangelical's favorite twisted orthodox Jew.
Good 'Ol Traitor Joe Lieberman, who now figures that since he has become a Republican he can lie and make up his own facts like they do, said this week;
"That’s why Senator Graham and I are introducing a resolution recognizing the strategic success that the surge has achieved in a central front — the central front of the war on terror against the enemies who attacked America on 9/11/01, and expressing our thanks to our troops who’ve made that success possible."Now, what kind of liar is still telling that whopper? I'll tell you, a shameless one who wants you, your kids, or some other Gentile to die for his chickenshit chickenhawk Israel-loving wimp-ass!
I went to a small family reunion yesterday and one of the little nephews showed up in his 'Cardinals' baseball uniform. I didn't spend the rest of the day telling people I just met someone from the St. Louis Cardinals. I know the difference and would be a liar if I said differently. Lieberman knows he's lying.
Guess who I voted for? Yeah, that's right -- Traitor Joe Lieberman. Congratulations, asshole, you're #74!
