Its a matter of national security!

Tom Tomorrow’s comments on the Eli Lilly provisions in the Homeland Security bill do a pretty good job of summing up the situation.

Bottom line; doesn’t this seem just a little sleazy?

A rational argument against war

Doug Bandow at the Cato Institute presents a very rational and reasonable article on why Bush’s agresiveness towards Iraq should be opposed. [via Tom Tomorrow and Joe Conason]

It looks like an appeals court has overturned the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court’s opinion theat the Patriot Act violated the 4th amendment. Well, this wouldn’t be terrible, except that since only the government presented arguments, there isn’t anyone to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. [via Anil]

Well don’t that just suck?

Looks like the Reublicans managed to squeek past the Democrats again. I’m afraid the next two years are going to be very painful to watch. Hopefully the Republicans won’t become the rubber-stamp brigade, but I’m not getting my hopes up. I just hope they don’t start going on about “revolutions” and “mandates” and other crap. Look at the numbers. This country is split right down the middle. Most races look like they’ll be decided by a rather small majority.

Next question: What the hell can the Left do to get some respect in this country?

Its for the good of the country!

Did you help buy Bush a PlayStation 2? Congratulations to those who contributed to this most noble cause.

So why aren’t we fighting them?

Mean Mr. Mustard says that the Chechen guerillas are the enemy. He’s right. We (the world) is at war with those who would use terror to further their aims. That these people think such actions will help them in any way is mind boggling. However, I think Instapundit says that anti-warbloggers won’t like what Mr. Mustard has to say. I can’t see why, Mr. Mustard had a point. Of course, my question for everyone is: Why is President Bush waisting our time in Iraq when there are truly useful things he could be doing?
