Patrick Buchanan has common sense about Iraq situation There's a lot of things I disagree with Patrick Buchanan with, but today he provided a column that makes perfect sense to me. Here's an excerpt: President Bush needs to go on national television and tell us the unvarnished truth. Why are we still there? For some of Bush's countrymen, there is a sense of having been had, of having been made victim to one of the great bait-and-switches in the history of warfare. The president, his War Cabinet and the neocon punditocracy sold us on this war by implying Saddam was implicated in 9-11, that he had a vast arsenal of chemical and biological weapons, that he was working on an atom bomb, that he would transfer his terror weapons to al-Qaida. We had to invade, destroy and disarm his axis-of-evil regime. Only thus could we be secure. None of this was true. But the president won that debate and was given a free hand to invade Iraq. He did so, and overthrew Saddam's regime in th...
The Price of Death
Monday afternoon as I was about to leave the house for an appointment, it was announced that the jury for the Scott Peterson trial had made a decision on his punishment. After deciding last month that Peterson was guilty of murdering his wife and child, the jury decided that he should now be put to death by the state of California.
The San Mateo County courtroom in which this trial took place is approximately 20 miles from my home. Despite the semi-close proximity, I was never once ever tempted to attend the big spectacle that took place so close to my turf, but apparently many other people did. Watching the TV news, one could see a large crowd spectators surrounding the courthouse, hovering around the area like a pack of awe-struck voyeurs. In the hours leading up to the decision, TV news reporters asked some of the bystanders why they were there. One man holding a sign favoring Peterson’s execution was very happy to get his moment of fame on the TV news. L...
... and the story of Florida voting gets weirder and weirder.....
In sworn affidavit, a programmer publicly states he developed vote-rigging prototype for Florida congressman… then his dog gets killed…
There’s a lot of news emerging this week about Clint Curtis, a former programmer for a NASA contractor that said that he developed a vote-rigging prototype a few years ago at the request of a then-Florida state representative who is now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
While working for Yang Enterprises in Florida, the 46-year-old programmer says he was instructed by then-Republican state representative Tom Feeney to “develop a prototype of a voting program that could alter the vote tabulation in the election and be undetectable.”
A few hours after this story was exposed on the BRAD BLOG, Mr. Curtis’ previously-health German Shepherd was found mysteriously dead in his Florida home. As it turns out, this is only the tip of the iceberg. There was also a myster...
