Oh, you actually thought this was supposed to stop terrorism? No, it's to make you think that the government gives a shit about fighting terrorism, while they're training the next Bin Laden, or the next Nicaraguan Contras.
Yesterday, some of Bush's defenders pointed out on conservative websites that the Clinton administration had authorized a search of the home of Aldrich Ames, a suspected Soviet spy, without a warrant in 1993.
But legal specialists said the Ames case is irrelevant because it involved a physical search of Ames's home, and the 1978 law did not require warrants for physical searches. The year after the Ames search, 1994, the law was amended to require warrants for physical searches and wiretaps.
Existing law allows for wiretaps without a warrant. They just need to find a friendly judge to give them a warrant after the fact. The problem is that it takes a lot of effort to shop around for the judge who will give you a warrant for spying on your political opponents. No good for Bush, so the Republicans and 57 Bush enabling Democrats had to make it easier for him.
Congress needs to spend less time trying to end violence on TV, and more time trying to end violence in Iraq. I don't give a rats ass how many people die on TV. I do care about how many people die in Iraq.
There's a big difference. The Republican party has often delivered to their base. The Democratic party told their base to go fuck themselves. What has the Democratic party done for liberals during this disaster of a Presidency? Nothing. The only reason they control Congress is because of the Republican party's extremism, not because of anything that these cowards who call themselves Democrats have done.
Hillary Clinton - I don't she's very popular on Slashdot. She seems too wishy washy to me Barack Obama - Not too bad, perhaps the most socially liberal of the major candidates. John Edwards - Seems to really have his act together now, taking strong stands on issues like his opposition to the Iraq war funding. Bill Richardson - Seems a bit clueless sometimes, but would probably make a pretty good President. He does have some significant foreign policy experience. Chris Dodd - Of the Presidential candidates, he was the first Senator to come out against the Iraq war funding. However, he doesn't have much of a chance. Joe Biden, Dennis Kucinch, Mike Gravel - Irrelevant Ron Paul - His main problem is that he's running for the Republican nomination. Not going to happen. The rest of the Republicans - Pro-torture, pro-escalation, pro-warmongering. No thanks.
Most people aren't going to change states because of their state's policies. Also, environmental issues of one state effect the environment in other states.
Taking this idea even further, would you be pissed if you were a landowner and your next door neighbor decided to build a power plant and a toxic waste dump on his property? Clearly anyone who doesn't like it should leave his property. But you are on a different property.
There would be a lot more than 3409 US soldiers dead in the Iraq war. As it is, far far more of them are seriously injured, many losing one or more limbs.

AEP has planted 21,914 acres with nearly 19 million mixed hardwood and conifer trees at a cost of approximately $5.7 million. Projected CO2 sequestration is 4.7 million metric tons over the term of the project.

How do you intend to "vote him out"? He's not up for election again. The best you can do is vote Democrat in House and Senate elections this year, but there's a good chance that the Republicans will retain both. In order to win either branch, there needs to be very high anti-Bush turnout to make up for the fundies who love him because of his stem cell veto.
Removing him from office will never happen, it requires a majority of the House, and two thirds of the Senate. I don't think we'll ever have 67 sane Senators.
Ever heard of the term DINO? A lot of those voted for Dubya. Oh, yeah, Lousiana has no minimum wage law, some Democrats they are. Damn worthless DINOs are giving Democrat a bad name.

SUSE 10.1 Released
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I guess I'll be using Suse 10.0 until then. I tried several different Linuxes, and most of them had major problems. Suse 10.0 installed fine, and worked immediately with my Internet card. I downloaded better Nvidia drivers, and had to find some Realtek drivers to get my sound working, but it seemed to have gotten everything else working. I suggest installing MPlayer for multi-media stuff.
Where you can send an electron faster then the speed of light. Now let me explain. Speed of light in that medium is about 0.6c, where c is the speed of light in a vaccum. Electrons go about 0.8c. Relativity says nothing about whether you can break the speed of light, what it says it that you can't exceed the speed of light in a vaccum.

Umm, guess who gets to prosecute a Contempt of Congress. The US Attorney General's office, which Bush controls. The system is a total joke.

It might have helped if the President had carefully read a certain August 6th, 2001 memo titled Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US.
Of course, Bush spent the rest of the day fishing.

Democrats aren't quite as pro-corporate as Republicans. But yeah, the DLC is responsible for there being 2 pro-corporate parties in this country.
There's now a link to the irreducible polynomial article.
Except that states were allowed to move their primary to Feb. 5th like California did, but not Jan. 29th like Florida did.
Like Time Warner/CNN is going to expose how the RIAA is attempting to enrich Time Warner/CNN? Bow down before your corporate media.
As can be seen from the wiki page, they peaked in the late 1950s. They don't closely mirror the global mean temperature.
Climatoligists already know about sunspots. As can be seen from this chart, most of the recent increase in temperatures are due to humans.

Government funded research.
A lot of people on Slashdot may disagree with this, but the "free market" is not the solution to everything.

It depends on whether the US Supreme Court decides that the 1st amendment is still constitutional. [/snark]
Google plagiarised it, too.

Well of course not. Members of the inner party may turn off the surveillance of themselves.
