Senate Bypasses Burning Big Pile of Cash, Passes Stimulus Packadge Instead

Today, in a move that many of us saw as it circled the drain and crossed the threshold between Bill and Law, effectively squandering $170 Billion of the government’s hard-taxed, and hard-printed cash, the Senate passed the House-approved stimulus package to give almost every American a fat, though entirely non-permanent, check in the mail.

The Darfur Wall

As Jewish boys become men and Jewish girls become women around our Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, we make Bar and Bat Mitzvah projects, which is any project that will make the world a better place. For my Bar Mitzvah Project, I am trying to help the innocent victims of genocide in Darfur. Over 400,000 [...]

Riiiiiiiiight… That’s Believable

In President Bush’s 4th of July speech, he compared the Iraq War to the Revolutionary War, saying that it was another hard war with no end in sight, and that the Iraq War would end in the same way, with glory and that there would be a good outcome. As soon as I read [...]

Governmental Sentencing Reform

Alex recently posted about the Scooter Libby case, where he said that republicans think that the lawmakers are above the law. He is, of course, totally correct, and I would like to elaborate.

At the time, the 2008 presidential candidate was trying to show that he was not a traditional Democrat while gaining the [...]

Have You Ever Noticed…

Have you ever noticed that whenever there is some big scandal going on in the Bush administration, Bush arranges some surprise historical even to take place to take the attention off of him? Take the latest thing; Alberto Gonzales, one of Bush’s serious chums, was about to be practically strung up by Congress and [...]

The Agent Orange Case Makes it to the Courtroom

Agent Orange, a herbicide and defoliant that was used in the Vietnam War to destroy the crops of the enemy Viet-Kong and the forests that they used to hide is, once again coming under fire in a courtroom. The suit was filed (and is now being appealed) against the American companies that created the [...]

The Great American Bureaucracy

In a recent NPR article, Zainab Salbi, the president of Women for Women International said that, often times, refugee camps will have special areas for rape victims, an area for people whose family has died, and other such areas so as to label refugees for reporters. The dehumanization of refugees (which is kind of reminicent [...]
