Ruling allows pat-down searches at games Click here to find out more! http://NFL.com wire reports TAMPA, Fla. (June 27, 2007) -- A federal appeals court cleared the way for pat-down searches to resume at Tampa Bay Buccaneers home games, rejecting a fan's contention that they violate his constitutional protection against unreasonable searches. High school teacher Gordon Johnston successfully challenged the frisking of fans entering Raymond James Stadium in three lower courts, but a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned those rulings -- saying Johnston forfeited his right to challenge the constitutionality of the pat-downs when he consented to them. ...
Independence Day Hypocrisy

Independence Day Hypocrisy - by Stephen Lendman Along with Christmas, no federal holiday is more celebrated than the day a new nation declared its independence from the British Crown on July 4, 1776. Coming in the summer with good weather across the country, it's a day or long weekend of parades, outings, various other celebratory events, and baseball at all levels that many years ago often meant major league "double-headers" that was a big occasion for young boys, like this writer, growing up in "big league" cities whose dads took them out for an endless day at the ballpark. It's also a day commemorating the nation's history, liberation and traditions most ...
Hooray for the Supreme Court?

Any decision made by the Supreme Court is a double edged-sword; this is especially true in cases regarding free speech; and even more true in cases regarding free speech in public schools. Take the Court’s most recent decision in Marineau v. Guiles. The Court ruled that a student could wear a tee shirt depicting President Bush as a drunken, coked-up maniac on a "World Domination Tour." On the one hand, this is a victory for free speech, as every person has the absolute moral right to wear whatever clothing he wishes to, but on the other hand, the nature of the public school system makes the proper expression of free speech impossible, therefore rendering the Court’s ...
Subway shooter `used his training'

Two friends accused of robbing a Subway sandwich shop didn't count on a customer packing a gun. After a quiet dinner with his grandfather Wednesday, Donicio Arrindell and his best friend headed out for the night. Three hours later, he was dead and his friend Fredrick Gadson was critically wounded. The duo -- lifelong friends and roommates -- are accused of storming into a Plantation Subway shop, armed and announcing a robbery. They didn't plan to encounter retired Marine John Lovell, 71, who had just finished a veggie sandwich and had a gun tucked in his waistband. On Friday, two days after the foiled holdup, the families of the accused robbers were trying to understand what ...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- How do people think the Democratic Congress is doing after six months? Lousy. But better than the alternative. It's midyear, and the Democratic Congress is taking a break. Well-deserved? No, say Republicans. "We are now halfway through the first year of the 110th Congress," Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, said. "And there is no question that the failure on the part of the Democrats in terms of their midterm exam is really a letdown to the expectations of the American people.'' Democratic leaders are inclined to agree. "I'm not happy with Congress, either," Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said. And the American people? Look at ...

Watch Ann Coulter lose it by makeprofilelink("John Aravosis (DC)"); John Aravosis (DC) · 6/28/2007 12:55:00 PM ET "I've never seen people avoid ideas as much in such an obvious way," says the woman who wears the same slinky black dress to every interview and every speech, presumably to show off her legs and her cleavage (though it's possible she's simply doing an extended walk of shame from a decade-long one-night stand), and who every interview makes some outrageous comment, like wishing that John Edwards were assassinated or mocking the death of his teenage son in a car crash, in order to get attention. Yes, Ann Coulter never tries to avoid ...
Junior GOP senators defeat old guard

Article published Jun 29, 2007 Junior GOP senators defeat old guard June 29, 2007 By Stephen Dinan - The immigration-reform bill was supposed to be a defining moment for the old guard. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy could establish a new civil rights legacy to rival his brothers'; Sen. John McCain could show leadership and accomplishment by standing up to his party's base; and President Bush could secure a major domestic achievement for his second term. Instead, the young guns — a small, wily group of junior Republican senators, most of them with less than a full term in the upper chamber — sent the bill into a tailspin, tying Democratic leaders into legislative knots and ...
Jon Stewart: 'Cheney can pixillate things just by touching them'

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart returned on Wednesday to his series on Vice President Cheney's extreme penchant for secrecy, reporting that "while the White House and Capitol appear crystal clear on Google Earth, the Naval Observatory, the vice president's official residence, appears only as an obscured mass of pixels." "Don't think that Dick Cheney asked Google to have him pixillated," explained Stewart. "Dick Cheney can pixillate things just by touching them. ... It's a superpower he got when he was bitten by a very low-resolution spider. Luckily, with this power comes no responsibility." Stewart then turned to a story about a top adviser ...

Controversy continues over Senator Rick Santorum comments comparing homosexuality with incest as he argued for the government's concerns in regulating sexuality. Here is the complete the transcript of Sen. Rick Santorum's controversial interview available on http://Salon.com if you want to make up your own mind about what he said, but one quote stands out to me: Again, it goes back to this moral relativism[emphasis mine ;p], which is very accepting of a variety of different lifestyles. And if you make the case that if you can do whatever you want to do, as long as it's in the privacy of your own home, this "right to privacy," then why be surprised that people are ...
Wal-Martizing America: Money as Our God
Post Date: 2007-06-27 06:47:02 by YertleTurtle

I caught this little article in the Washington Post this morning entitled "Wal-Mart Throws an Undercut at Target." Apparently, Wal-Mart is enviable of Target’s wealthier demographics (Target shoppers are estimated to have a median income of $60,000, Wal-mart the soul of moneywhile Wal-Mart customers tend to hover in the $40,000 range) and is aggressively scoping out Target’s prices in higher end items and then undercutting the prices. Wal-Mart’s tactics in an attempt to dominate the marketplace with the lowest prices, get a little more aggressive every year. Be forewarned, this is going to be a bit of a rant. I won’t shop Wal-Mart, no matter how low their ...
Education: All Children Left Behind

I think one of the great tragedies (and travesties) of our American lives is our educational system. The recent debates over intelligent design versus evolutionary theory confirm the American failure to truly educate their children. I wrote this blog on February 3, 2005 as a direct criticism to the Bush initiative known as "No Child Left Behind." My idea is that we are training our children to be good consumers and good transit material for the economy. We are not educating. We certainly aren't teaching them about creativity and imaginal thought. I don't know what is happening with either the Mythic Imagination group or Pacifica's MA program that combines myth and ...

I woke up this morning and realized that I still wasn't completely finished with my ideas about (and I must say) disgust with our educational system. After yesterday's blog, No Child Left, I got several emails from people ranging from confused to annoyed to "right on". One pointed out to me a paper that David Miller (truly a brilliant teacher) gave at the 1998 Conference on Values in Higher Education Stewardship and Opportunism: The Moral Roots of Accountability, entitled: "Nothing to Teach! No Way to Teach It! Together with the Obligation to Teach!" Dilemmas in the Rhetoric of Assessment and Accountability . In that paper, David talks about his experiences at ...

"How do you shoot an old man in the face and get him to apologize?" says 'Daily Show' host Jon Stewart, referring to the infamous hunting accident involving Vice President Cheney. "Ooh Cheney, he must be evil, ooh, what's he hiding, what are his secrets? "Well as it turns out," Stewart continues, referring to the new Washington Post series focusing on Cheney, "what he was hiding, was everything." "Dick Cheney exists neither in the executive branch nor the legislative, yet simultaneously in both," 'Daily Show' correspondent John Oliver adds. "He is neither man nor beast, yet has elements of the twain. He is at once ...

Again, another amazing piece of documentary information NOT AIRED IN THE U.S.A. (why?), from the German version of the Discovery Channel's Documentary "Inside the Twin Towers," entitled "Die letzten Minuten im World Trade Center," we can see the fraudulent wescam scam of a Secretive Military Media Manipulation (Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld - CIA - Pentagon, etc...)

Over the past several weeks, another state has failed. In this case it was a proto-state, the Palestinian Authority. Following a Hamas coup in Gaza, the PA has been reduced to the West Bank, while a non-state, Fourth Generation entity now rules in Gaza. Here we see the setting for a head-on clash between states and a non-state force, Hamas. How it turns out may be an important indicator for the development of Fourth Generation War theory. On the surface, the PA and its governing party, Fatah, seem to hold all the cards. Both Arab governments and the international community have rushed to support Fatah. Money, lots of it, will quickly flow into Fatah’s coffers. The PA President, ...

I'm ready at last to support gun control. I believe every police agency in the United States – local, state and federal – should be disarmed. After all, the gun-control people have been saying for years that we private citizens have no need for firearms. Well, if that's true for us, it's true for the police. We are the inhabitants of the country. We live in the neighborhoods, we are the victims of crime, and if we don't need guns, then who does? I've yet to hear of a police officer being mugged or raped, and certainly not an FBI agent, as the feds spend most of their time in offices, except on weekends and holidays. The Secret Service doesn't need guns. ...

The Independent Institute Commentary Why Ron Paul?June 20, 2007Alvaro Vargas Llosa WASHINGTON—I was dumbfounded last week when three radio stations, one in Spain and two in Latin America, asked me to explain who American presidential hopeful Ron Paul is and why his candidacy in the Republican primaries has generated such a buzz. The congressman from Texas has hardly registered in national polls but is a political celebrity in the blogosphere and on cable TV Web sites, and has been the subject of front-page stories in The Washington Post and other major news outlets. Apparently, he is making waves around the world too. The obvious appeal of this uncharismatic, ...
