Of course this doesn't show up in the MSM's front page news - wouldn't want to encourage anyone, would they? This news, however, is certainly huge. Four Iowans were arrested last week for attempting to make a Citizen's Arrest of Karl Rove in Des Moines at the Wakonda Country Club.

The Housing Bill's Hidden Taxes
|
The new housing bill will apparently become law, and the implications are disturbing. First, the swiftness of Congress's action on this bill reminds me of other times they have rushed to action on major legislation, often without the benefit of having read it - like the Patriot Act, for example. It's nothing new either - the Federal Reserve Act was another such instance, and Woodrow Wilson himself later admitted he had made a mistake by signing it. 95 years later - the Fed is still here. It would be tragic if this housing bill has a similar destiny.

Kucinich Changes Pelosi's Tune, Slightly
|
Yet since Congressman Dennis Kucinich's introduction of 35 Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush this June, it hasn't made a frontpage headline--or byline--that we've seen. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has blocked impeachment attempts against both Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney in the past, said that hearings may be held on Cong. Kucinich's proposal to impeach.

Book Calling Bush A Murderer Silence By Media
|
Hey, speaking of media blackouts related to criminal act(s) by President George W. Bush, just ask Vincent Bugliosi. Bugliosi is an author who's had three books at #1 on the New York Times best-seller list, yet his latest tome has gone untouched in the MSM. Perhaps it has to do with the subject matter: it's titled, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.

This is embarrassing. Gas prices have gotten so ridiculous that people are resorting to stealing it! A Richmond county man from Augusta, Georgia pumped over $3,000 in premium gasoline into multiple vehicles by giving a clerk $5, and then rigging the pump somehow with a screwdriver, according to police.

Tyra Banks Does Not Know How To Act Around Children

Friday was a typical Tyra Banks episode in that there were some light disagreements among the audience, a major issue was discussed, and nothing was solved. But the notable part of the show was that Tyra sat down with some kids, and basically said, How cute are you! Very nice names...destined for failure.

FISA Amendments Act Passes, Telecoms Immune
|
Bad, bad, bad...this is bad. In January, President George W. Bush threatened that he refuses to sign any FISA law that doesn't include amnesty for telecoms AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint--the telecoms that turned over phone records and honored wiretapping requests by the administration without warrants. After the Senate attempts to pass amendments without the immunity provision failed, over the 4th of July holiday, the House already caved and passed the Amendment as is.
