"That's seven cents, folks, for a used copy." "Heck, ...

WASHINGTON: US Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife earned 8.82 million dollars last year, some 12 times the amount President George W. Bush made, the White House said Friday. But the Cheneys donated 6.9 million dollars of their income to charity, cutting their net income to a more manageable 1.96 million dollars - meaning that they will get a tax refund of 1.9 million dollars. The president and his wife Laura Bush reported a net income, after charitable donations and other deductions, of 618,694 dollars for 2005, of which 400,000 came from his White House salary. Their income was down from 672,788 dollars declared last year. The presidential couple gave 75,560 dollars to charities ...

Weeks after the White House ruled out the involvement of President George W. Bush in any discussions on the firing of 8 US Attorneys, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said on Thursday morning that the President had discussed the matter with advisers in an October 2006 meeting. "I've now been made aware of the fact that there was a conversation with the President that basically mentioned the same thing in October of 2006," the Attorney General said while answering a question from Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA). "The same thing" referred to voter fraud cases in three US Attorneys' districts, which Gonzales earlier acknowledged had been raised by Karl Rove in a meeting ...

Former House majority leader Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX), who resigned last year after being indicted on campaign finance abuses and remains under scrutiny in the Jack Abramoff investigation, is set to headline an upcoming political training seminar titled "explicit discussions of ethics," according to a Washington Post report. In a column titled "Ethics Tips From 'The Hammer'," Post columnist Mary Ann Akers writes that the former House Majority Leader "is set to kick off a May 31 Campaigns & Elections seminar, where he will hawk his book, 'No Retreat, No Surrender,' and talk political strategy ... and, who knows, maybe even ethics."

Internet Calls Subject To Phone Tapping -- Starting May 14th VoIP Calls Will Be Easier To Tap

May 8 - KGO - Companies that provide Internet phone service have just six days to meet a deadline from the Justice Department. By next Monday, they'll have to make their systems easier to tap. That's right -- make it easier to secretly listen in on your phone calls, or face daily fines of $10,000 dollars. FBI phone taps helped bring down the teflon don, John Gotti. Police phone taps helped put Scott Peterson on Death Row for murdering his wife, Laci. Phone taps are also a major weapon in the war on terror. Whatever the crime, law enforcement is seeking more and more warrants to listen in -- 1,800 federal warrants last year, and thousands more at the local level. Charles Cullen, ...

CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Jazeera broadcast what it said was an al-Qaida video Tuesday purportedly showing one of the three suicide attacks in Algeria last month that killed 33 people. The brief video carried images of equipment and wires being assembled, followed by a large explosion. The pan-Arab television network said the footage was from al-Qaida's branch for North Africa and that a longer segment would be aired later. The network provided no details on how or when it had obtained the footage and it wasn't immediately possible to determine its authenticity. The video concluded with a bearded man said to be Abu Musab Abdulwadood — the leader of Algeria's main Islamic ...

WASHINGTON -- Just days after his arrest, a D.C. man police said stockpiled guns, swords, and other weapons in his apartment was in court on Friday. Tyler Froatz, 24, was arrested on Tuesday after allegedly assaulting a woman during an immigration rally in Meridian Hill Park. Police said they searched Froatz and found weapons on him and in his vehicle. But, authorities said, their most startling discovery was made at Froatz's apartment on Eighth Street in Northwest. Police said they found more than a dozen rifles, handguns, swords, a bow-and-arrow set, a machete and nearly 3,000 rounds of ammunition. Police said they also found fuse cords that could be used to ignite explosives and ...

Pickles moved out of the White House...three weeks ago! Or so says Ted Casablanca of E! Online: Apr 19, 2007 This distresses me quite a bit. You know how I adore Prez Dubya so. Yes, you do—as I’ve utterly applauded his actions in Iraq for eons. Just love how he’s got us over there killing people (them and us), occupying a country we have no biz being in. But, alas, this is a gossip column, people want to laugh and point fingers, I keep forgetting. So, let’s aim a few digits at ol’ Georgey-Porgey himself!

NEW YORK — Voting rights attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called for prison time for the new US Attorney for Arkansas, Timothy Griffin and investigation of Griffin’s former boss, Karl Rove, chief political advisor to President Bush. “Timothy Griffin,” said Kennedy,”who is the new US attorney in Arkansas, was actually the mastermind behind the voter fraud efforts by the Bush Administration to disenfranchise over a million voters through ‘caging’ techniques - which are illegal.” Kennedy based his demand on the revelations by BBC reporter Greg Palast in the new edition of his book, “Armed Madhouse.” On one page of the book, Palast ...

An Arizona car dealer, an interior designer and a former Enron executive were among the 18 major Republican donors invited to the dine with the Queen of England, along with celebrities, members of Congress and Bush administration officials, at last night's White House white-tie state dinner. "These are not your rank-and-file donors," says Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the campaign finance watchdog group the Center for Responsive Politics. "In a sense, this is the GOP royalty." Republicans were highly critical of President Bill Clinton when he rewarded big contributors with invitations to state dinners. The 18 major donors on last night's guest list ...

WASHINGTON - Folk singer and anti-war activist Joan Baez says she doesn't know why she was not allowed to perform for recovering soldiers recently at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as she planned. In a letter to The Washington Post published Wednesday, she said rocker John Mellencamp had asked her to perform with him last Friday and that she accepted his invitation. "I have always been an advocate for nonviolence and I have stood as firmly against the Iraq war as I did the Vietnam War 40 years ago," she wrote. "I realize now that I might have contributed to a better welcome home for those soldiers fresh from Vietnam. Maybe that's why I didn't hesitate to accept ...

Wolfowitz refuses to resign Wolfowitz said he believed resigning would be harmful to the World Bank [AFP] Paul Wolfowitz, president of the World Bank, has repeated his refusal to step down, while the US president has spoken out to back him. Wolfowitz, a former deputy defence secretary, said the charges over his handling of a pay rise for his girlfriend was a "smear campaign". He said he would not resign over "unfair charges". The scandal over Shaha Riza's salary, higher than that of Condoleezza Rice, the present US secretary of state, has risked the reputation of the bank, which was set up to assist developing nations. Wolfowitz made his statement on Monday to a ...

'IN THE battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." So declared President George Bush on May 1, 2003, in a nationally televised address from the majestic splendour of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in front of a banner proclaiming "Mission Accomplished". On May 14 in the rather less telegenic surroundings of the Australian House of Representatives, the Prime Minister, John Howard, formally advised Parliament that "the coalition's major combat operations in Iraq have been successfully concluded". The media generally shared the political leaders' euphoria. On the day Saddam Hussein's statue was toppled in Baghdad, the ...

The Neocons' Humiliation

THE American legal system has rediscovered the virtue of one of the most ancient forms of punishment—public humiliation. Prostitutes' “Johns” can now have their names aired on television. Mail thieves can find themselves wearing a sandwichboard giving full details of their crime. And people who deface Nativity scenes can end up parading through town accompanied by a donkey. And neoconservatives? These too, it seems, are now being subjected to a grand exercise in public humiliation. Paul Wolfowitz is hanging on to his job at the World Bank by his fingernails (see article). Lewis “Scooter” Libby, a Wolfowitz protégé, is facing prison; Douglas Feith, ...
