Justice Department pursuing criminal invesitgation into NSA wiretapping program

Unfortunately, the investigation focuses on Thomas Tamm, the DOJ lawyer who leaked the existence of the program to the New York Times. So while the AG blocks any investigation into criminal wrongdoing by the administration, and sage commentators decry any attempt to hold those responsible for this abomination accountable as the "criminalization of politics," a man whose conscience could not abide the lawless behavior in question has his life destroyed.

This ain't your grandma's fusion reactor

Scientists plan on creating a miniature artificial star which will generate temperatures in excess of 100 million degrees Celsius.

The procedure is officially known as Inertial Confinement Fusion and, if it is successful, could
result in a new, nearly limitless power source. I think I am going to order one for the Jeep.

The neighborhood bully strikes again

Gideon Levy, writing in Israel's oldest daily newspaper, opines about Operation Cast Lead, Israel's ongoing assault on Palestine.

"Once again, Israel's violent responses, even if there is justification for them, exceed all proportion and cross every red line of humaneness, morality, international law and wisdom."

Try to imagine any US politician or media-figure uttering these words. Any who did would be immediately castigated and labeled an anti-Semite. In Israel, apparently, it is permissible to question the wisdom of that government's actions. Sadly, the same cannot be said for the US. Cue the boilerplate proclamations from our officials about Israel needing to take whatever steps it feels are necessary for its security.

Warm and Fuzzy Time

OK so I had to show ya'll pictures one more time. I wanted ya'll to see Rylie without all the wires and tubes and stuff. After sleeping at the hospital for a week straight, we brought her home this past Monday and she's doing well now.

Kop Busters

"KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana. When faced with a suspected marijuana grow, the police usually use illegal FLIR cameras and/or lie on the search warrant affidavit claiming they have probable cause to raid the house. Instead of conducting a proper investigation which usually leads to no probable cause, the Kops lie on the affidavit claiming a confidential informant saw the plants and/or the police could smell marijuana coming from the suspected house.

The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster's attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster's secret mobile office nearby...

It is not illegal to grow plants under a light in your home but it is illegal to lie on an affidavit and plant drugs on a citizen. This operation was the first of its kind in the history of America. Police sometimes have other police investigating their crimes but the American court system has never dealt with a group of citizens stinging the police. Will the police file charges on the team who took down the corrupt cops? We will keep you posted."
