Lies, damned lies and statistics...

States with lax gun laws had higher rates of handgun killings, fatal shootings of police officers, and sales of weapons that were used in crimes in other states, according to a study underwritten by a group of more than 300 U.S. mayors.

a Nixon redux? Oh yeah, it was me...

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security tracked the protest plans of a peaceful Washington area antiwar group and passed the information to the Maryland State Police, which had previously labeled the activists as terrorists in an intelligence file.

Can you believe it? Antiwar protestors are terrorists.

"a Roman Catholic priestess"? Sounds like just another wacko from the land of fruits and nuts. Another "unbiased" reporter from the right wing...she'll probably land a spot on Faux news.

Contrast to Bush, who never went into a forum where any views other than his own were permitted.

I think this was/is the name of the recent HBO documentary I saw (part of) last week. It's generally about the way the right has purchased the judicial system of the US. Pretty interesting/disappointing.

Now THIS is tort reform

HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE APPROVES BILL TO AMEND RULE 11 OF FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE -- On July 7, the House Judiciary Committee reported H.R. 966 out of the committee by a vote of 20 Yeas, 13 Nays. The vote was along party lines. H.R. 966 was introduced by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) to amend Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure “to improve attorney accountability.” It would require courts to issue sanctions for Rule 11(b) violations and to compensate parties injured by the violation with attorneys’ fees and other reasonable expenses incurred as a result of the violation. It would remove the 21-day “correction” period provided under current law
