The law is an ass when it allows lawsuits like this to proceed.

In this case, Jose Padilla -- a convicted terrorist -- with his fellow travelers at the National Litigation Project at the Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic at Yale Law Schoo, is attempting to pull of the great leftist coup:  use the courts to reverse acts of the legislature they don't agree with.

The law is an ass.  Kill all the lawyers.  Let's start with Yale.

The lovely and vivacious Michelle Malkin has unearthed some startling news:  The Federal Bureau of Investigation has had wiretaps shutdown because they failed to pay the phone bill.

Federal Bureau of Investigation, or Incompetence?  You decide...

On December 18, 2007, General Electric got a huge boost to its bottom line when the Senate voted t o essentially ban incandescent light bulbs.

So where are the green weenie environmentalist whacko anti-corporatist "no corporate welfare" types now?

You see, not only did GE's stock jump, but GE will now have a great reason to lay off a ton of workers.  You see, GE manufacturers all of its incandescent bulbs in the United States-- where costs are higher and environmental regulations are very strict.

But it manufactures its CFLS (and other fancy technology bulbs) in China, where manufacturing costs are a fraction of the US, and environmental regulations are, well... you know.  They just don't have them.  (Trust me, been to Shenzhen 4 times and Hong Kong 5.  Its bad. Really bad.)

Chinese factories are dirtier, more polluting, and make no effort to be environmentally respectful, much less friendly.  China still uses lead in their gasoline.  And they could tell you what a CO2 scrubber was if it was sitting in front of you.  Oh, and forget energy efficiency.

So what will be the net gain from the switch to CFLs (which also contain a small amount of mercury, and as a result, cannot just be thrown out with the trash)?

I'm thinking a net negative.

... in the United Kingdom of All Places.

It turns out there is a group in the UK fighting their move to an "all CFL" world.  Flourescent light causes problems for a lot of people, but now they are banging the drum that it might cause skin cancer.

That will, of course, accelerate the fix to Global Warming.  Which might be the whole point.  Kill all the humans, and we can't cause Global Warming.

As we roll into Day 10 of O'Misery in O'Maryland, we embrace the fundamental LACK of leadership that O'Guvnah represents.  He's less than a pretty face in the State House.  He's a Crackberry addict working hard to bring his spectacular string of failures from Baltimore City to the ENTIRE state of Maryland.

That's right, O'Guvnah's goal is to bring the same crime problems, budget problems, school problems, and cultural problems to the Entire State, from the golden seashore of Worcester County, the mountain majesty of Garrett County.

But today, I want to look at dumbass comment number 1,300,364,223 from O'Guvnah.

Uhh, I don't think so.  Or, in the words of State Senator Clay Davis from HBO's "The Wire":

"Sheeeeeeeeeeit."

How does the woman who has been the presumptive nominee -- backed by all the big money, all the big media, and all the big players, including the Hungarian-born corruptobillionaire George Soros -- become a "comeback kid" for winning the primary that EVERYONE thought she would win until just a week ago, when she lost to Barack Obama in small midwest corn-pone state?

How does this happen, except by gross stupidity on the part of EVERY FRAKKING MAJOR, MINOR, AND TWO-BIT NEWS OUTLET ON THE PLANET?

Talk about the "willing suspension of disbelief".

Who is writing the copy at these news outlets?  Woody Allen?  (Not Jon Stewart, that's for sure. His show last night was so bad, the stale danish in the green room was more entertaining).

That is exactly how stupid the Clinton Campaign and the MSM think you are!

Oh yeah, and the Ragin' Cajun is coming back.  Luckily this time, the only bimbo eruptions we have to worry about are the words coming out of HRC's mouth.

I am forced to ask this question after reading this article on baltimoresun.com.

Two scum sucking little teenage twit-boys poured acid on a slide last spring that burned a toddler were sentenced to home detention.

HOME DETENTION?!??

Did the judge even consider the fact that the reason these two little juvenile delinquents did what they did was because of a lack of parental supervision?

I can tell you this, had I done such a thing at the Loch Raven Heights playground of my youth, I would still be walking around with my fathers foot hanging out of my ass, and the tip of his work boot scratching my throat.

Jihad Joe Albero, The Delaware Dumbass, that obnoxious little imported twit who resides on a Waco-like "compound" in Delmar, DE, is dumber than your septic tank and a lot fuller, too.

When I posted "Who I Will Not Vote For in the Maryland Primary, Part I", declaring why I would not vote for Ron Paul, I was not aware of how ugly some of his deeper philosophies go.

Today I found this story on The New Republic about his pamphleteering from a few decades ago.  All I can say is, I am glad I got it right.  Since Mr. Paul has failed to adequately separate himself from some of the beliefs espoused in the pamphlets bearing his name in the Masthead, I can only believe that they are his thoughts and feelings.

I will definitely not vote for him for anything.  And I am glad I said so early.

You ain't seen nothing yet
B-B-B-Baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothing yet
Here's something that your never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothing yet

If you thought George W. Bush was a disaster for America before, you haven't seen anything yet.  Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, following 43's orders to just "do something" about subprime loan clusterfuck (note: I said clusterfuck, not crisis), is about to potentially put US taxpayers on the hook for a hell of a lot more money.
