Would someone please tell me why the story about Huckabee wanting to change the Constitution and start a theocracy here is NOT in regular newspapers? I am not allowed to use AlterNet or TPM or the blogs as sources for weekly “current events in politics” assignments. And if it isn’t even news for a high […]

Why can’t we go back to a time when the government didn’t spy on people? Who are FBI and NSA spying on today? What happened to all the rights that are amended to our constitution?

I have a friend who always wants to sell stuff on eBay. I don’t know if he has ever sold anything but he knows how. His plan is to offer something really, really cheap so people will bid on it, and then have a $50 shipping charge. Well, I hope he never becomes a defense […]
