I may not know much...
in fact, the phrases "manchild" and "not fit for polite society" are often used to describe me. But I do know this: Kate Hudson has a fantastic ass.

Wikileaks: global defense of sources and press freedoms, circa now—
"Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to people of all regions who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact. Our interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by all types of people. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources."
Got some pretty good stuff on there, and make sure to check out the whole saga with Wikileaks being shut down by a Federal Judge over leaking documents about a prominent Swiss bank's private account activities in the Cayman Islands and their subsequent re-establishment (decision was overturned) just a few days ago!

garfield minus garfield
" Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb."

Turn it up and watch the whole thing. Jimmy Chamberlin is God.

Dudes...
can we stop fuckin' around and get real for a second? It's time to prioritize certain things.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's over!
Today, a courageous and bipartisan effort was made to protect telecommunications companies from the American people.
The Dodd amendment stripping retroactive immunity from the FISA bill failed 31-67. The Republican bloc marched lockstep, opposing the amendment 49-0. Eighteen Democrats joined the Republicans.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
**UPDATE**
You may recall that I mentioned that the version of the FISA bill passed by the House was quite different from the Intelligence Committee bill which will today be passed in the Senate. The good folks over at Firedoglake have a petition going that implores the members of the House to stand firm and not pass a new bill which mirrors that of the Senate. Take a moment to sign it.

Waterboarding
Given the recent revelations that US officials performed waterboarding on several prisoners shortly after 9/11, and US Attorney General Michael Mukasey's refusal to open an investigation into the affair, this piece by a former JAG officer and current judge/law professor on the matter is timely.

Giuliani's Campaign Most Unsuccessful in History
$50 Million for 1 delegate. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.
Telecom Immunity Update
It has come to this:
Monday will see the Senate Intelligence Bill come before the house, and all proposed amendments will receive a vote. The bill itself includes a provision providing retroactive immunity to those companies who participated in warrantless surveillance of Americans. Senator Dodd and Senator Feingold have proposed an amendment that will strip the bill of this provision. If they can manage to find 51 votes, then there will be no immunity provision in the final bill. Contact your Senators (even if they are dedicated Republicans) and ask them to support the Dodd/Feingold amendment.
**UPDATE**
Glenn Greenwald is claiming that the Dodd/Feingold amendment will need to get 60 votes, per the agreement. There is almost no chance of this happening. Tune in Monday to see our Senate sanction a crime against the American people!
I should note that the House passed version of the FISA bill that is substantially different from the one before the Senate. If the Senate passes the Intelligence Committee's bill on Monday, with the immunity provision, then there will have to be some reconciliation. There will be pressure on the House to pass a bill identical to the Senate version. So this fight isn't over yet.

New Walmart Line Of Fine Wines
Wal-Mart announced that, sometime in 2008, it will begin offering customers a new discount item ---- Wal-Mart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery of Modesto California to produce the beverage at an affordable price, in the $2 - $5 range.
Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of "Wal-Mart" brand into their shopping carts, but"there is a market for inexpensive wine," said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at University of Arkansas , Bentonville. "But the right name is important."
Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name
for the Wal-Mart wine brand.
The top surveyed names in order of popularity were:
10. Chateau Traileur Parc
9. White Trashfindel
8. Big Red Gulp
7. World Championship Riesling
6. NASCARbernet
5. Chef Boyardeaux
4. Peanut Noir
3. I Can't Believe it's not Vinegar
2. Grape Expectations
1. Nasti Spumante
The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either
white meat (possum) or red meat (squirrel).
P.S. Don't bother writing back that this is a hoax. I know
possum is not a white meat.

Why are healthcare costs so high?
We've all heard it said that frivolous lawsuits are to blame. In 2001, malpractice claims accounted for 0.46% of total healthcare spending in the United States. A decade ago, administrative overhead accounted for a staggering 31% of total healthcare expenditures. But perhaps things have changed in the last decade... or perhaps not.
Why are administrative costs so high? A study in California offers an answer.

Telecom Immunity Update **UPDATED**
I realize that most of you probably aren't interested in this issue, but take my word for it that this is a important test for the rule of law in this country. The Republicans are going to force a vote on a permanent FISA bill, and Harry Reid has determined to bring to the floor a bill containing the provisions for immunity for companies that participated in warrantless surveillance. The legality of this issue should be decided in a courtroom, not in Congress. This measure would effectively strip citizens of their right to redress in a court of law.
Those of us who oppose this measure have an ally in Sens. Dodd and Feingold. But we need more. Dodd was drafted into the movement by concerned citizens. Now, an attempt is being made to add another champion to our ranks: former Senator John Edwards. The folks at Firedoglake have more on this. Take the time to click on the link and write John Edwards an email requesting his leadership.
**UPDATE**
Harry Reid has thrown down the gauntlet to the opponents of telecom immunity.
