National Politics: March 2008 Archives

It may come back to haunt you like it has Hizzoner of Detroit:

The mayor of Detroit has been charged with perjury, obstruction of justice and misconduct in office, stemming from a sex scandal six years ago. Kwame Kilpatrick, 37, who says he will fight the charges, could face up to 15 years in jail if convicted. He was charged after sexually explicit text messages surfaced that appeared to contradict his sworn denials of an affair with a top aide in 2002.

As soon as your stuff enters the "telco cloud," it's no longer yours. Never forget that.

It's important to keep in mind that both Steve Scalise and Tim Burns both have no problems with men like CAPT Mallard getting killed in Iraq.

Yet the National Archives is going to release Hillary's first-lady records?

The National Archives announced on Tuesday that 11,046 pages of Senator Hillary Rodham’s White House schedules will be released on Wednesday. The records were the subject of a legal fight between Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, and the National Archives, which has been slow to comply with a request to release the records, arguing that the vetting process takes time.

The request should be denied because Hillary's records are not the same as The Clenis.

Jon Kyl is right, there's really no point in debating the decision to go to war. if he could defend that decision, he wouldn't be trying to ignore it. The point for debate in the fall is whether or not Republicans should continue to fuck things up in Iraq.

But had I known there kids-for-pot market was as strong as Sen. Tom Harkin thinks it is, I have to admit, there are days when I might have given it a second thought:

The victims of the drug war are many - the small child whose parents are so addicted to illegal drugs that they sell everything including perhaps their own children to obtain a fix; the police officer's family which must now learn to cope with the loss of their loved one as a result of a violent drug bust gone awry. These are the people I think of when I say that drugs pose a significant threat to the security of this nation.

There are some issues that just turn a politician' s brain to shit, and marijuana legalization is one of those. Pot is nowhere near the problem that cigarettes and booze are, still, mention legalizing the Goddess' Own Herb, and people turn into Teh Stoopit.
