I hate it when they tease. Of course, Dennis Kucinich is introducing not one, but 35 articles of impeachment against Bush. Could justice finally be served? Be still my beating heart! (H/T to digg for the link) Tags: Bushiness, impeach

McCain is cut from the same cloth as our great friend, President George W. Bush. He too would support warrantless wiretaps and telco immunity. Best of all, he's of the same philosophy that the President can do whatever he damn well pleases during a "time of war" which is funny since we're conveniently in a "War on Terror" that's sure to end as quickly and decisively as the "War on Drugs".

The Article II citation is key, since it refers to President Bush's longstanding arguments that the president has nearly unlimited powers during a time of war. The administration's analysis went so far as to say the Fourth Amendment did not apply inside the United States in the fight against terrorism, in one legal opinion from 2001.

That would be just great. Yeah… Let's have a president that continues the vicious downward spiral of American stability, freedom, and public opinion… Let's do that. Tags: Bushiness, McCain, Utter Failure, Well Duh!

It's amazing and I promise it's no joke, but both congress AND Bush did something right by drafting, passing, and then signing into law the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. Some provisions of the law include:

- Prohibiting group health insurance plans and issuers offering coverage on the group or individual market from basing eligibility determinations or adjusting premiums or contributions on the basis of an individual's genetic information. Insurance companies cannot request, require or purchase the results of genetic tests, and they are prohibited from disclosing personal genetic information. - Prohibiting issuers of Medigap policies from adjusting pricing or conditioning eligibility on the basis of genetic information. They cannot request, require or purchase the results of genetic tests, or disclose genetic information. - Prohibiting employers from firing, refusing to hire, or otherwise discriminating with respect to compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of employment. Employers may not request, require or purchase genetic information, and they are also prohibited from disclosing personal genetic information. Similar provisions apply to employment agencies and labor organizations.

So much for the future shown by the movie Gattica. Note that McCain would have probably vetoed it based on what I heard about him the other day. (H/T to slashdot for the link) Tags: Bushiness, Gattica

This is hardly surprising. Bush, the [sarcasm]champion of freedom and the American way[/sarcasm] will be turning US spy satellites on Americans. (H/T to slashdot for the link) Tags: Bushiness, Spying

A recent ABC story shows that the authorization for torture when high, but didn’t include Bush. Now it seems as if that may not be the case. Tags: Bushiness

The agencies that are supposed to protect us turned against us. It’s depressing that more hasn’t been done about this and sooner. Of course, you know why Bush isn’t defending them the same way as some other agencies? Because he didn’t authorize it and therefore doesn’t need to shield them to cover his own butt. That’s my guess anyway. Tags: Bushiness, FBI, Public Confidence

I've had my "Bush Countdown Clock" on my site for a while now and it's been depressing that it never seems to change. Well, it finally went under 3 millions seconds and I can't be happier! Hey! Forgive me my small victories ok? Just 29656772 more to go… wait… 29656771, doh… Tags: Bushiness

If you're not aware of this already, Bush authorized the NSA to spy on Americans without a warrant (which is illegal, duh). He's managed to keep Congress from impeaching him somehow and, emboldened by his victory, he's even pushing to protect giant telecommunications companies like AT&T from the lawsuits that have sprung up against them for participating in the spying.

[Bush] Now the question is, should these lawsuits be allowed to proceed, or should any company that may have helped save American lives be thanked for performing a patriotic service; should those who stepped forward to say we’re going to help defend America have to go to the courthouse to defend themselves, or should the Congress and the President say thank you for doing your patriotic duty? I believe we ought to say thank you.

Well… I guess he has a point. Let me try: "Thank you Telcos for helping Bush to violate our rights violently and repeatedly for years". Wait, I don't think I did that right. Let me try again: "Thank you Telcos for scrambling to cover your butts as much as possible and helping to shield our corrupt leadership from direct responsibility". Dang. Maybe this time: "Thank you for treating our privacy and personal rights as so much cow dung to be buried and stepped upon as you see fit". You know, I don't think I can get the hang of this.
