And they call that democracy

Corporate Fascist Supreme Court pays dividends

AUSTIN – Dallas oilman Trevor Rees-Jones may not know Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid , but he's betting $1 million that he can make the Nevada Democrat's political life more difficult these days.

Rees-Jones is helping bankroll a group spearheaded by Karl Rove and funded largely by Texans to air TV spots attacking Reid and other Democrats.

Virginia-based American Crossroads has raised $4.7 million – two-thirds of it from Texans – for a national effort. Three Dallas billionaires are providing much of the money.

The most egregious and most unconstitutional Supreme Court ruling in my lifetime - by far! Five fascist flunkies.

Go get 'em boys!

Newt: have your sons die in Iran and North Korea

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich twice called on the United States to attack North Korea and Iran Thursday because the United States has only attacked "one out of three" of so-called "Axis of Evil" members by invading Iraq.

Yeah, of course, Newt was your typical Chickenhawk wingnut when he had his chance to fight evil.

Al Gore Won't be Charged

(AP) Former Vice President Al Gore won't be prosecuted over a masseuse's allegations that he groped and assaulted her in his Portland hotel room in 2006, the county prosecutor said Friday. District Attorney Michael Schrunk said in a statement that the case has numerous problems and isn't appropriate for a criminal prosecution.

Among the difficulties that Schrunk cited: Although the red-haired masseuse said she was terrified of Gore, she also said she called him after their encounter and told him to "dream of redheaded women. Schrunk also said she told the hotel two days after the encounter that she appreciated the business referrals it had given her - and didn't mention any problems with Gore."

Big headline news over at Fox too, I'm sure.
