I found this interesting:

Inclusion of the 1954 words “under God” into America’s national patriotic pledge (which was originally written without any reference to God) was the result of a congressional resolution which became public law yet which the Supreme Court of the United States, in 1943 (West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette), had already ruled cannot be required. It was passed by pandering and misguided congressional politicians in the McCarthy era of American history when communism was a major concern in America. Insertion of “under God” into the pledge is a direct slap in the face of the Founding Fathers who commanded: “no religious test shall ever be required” (Art. 6., Sec., 3, Constitution, 1787) and of the First Congress which commanded: “religion” shall not be established by law or Congress (First Amendment).

All of you religious crazies please read the full text here.

Dan Rather and CBS issue a public apology regarding the documents pertaining to Bush’s time in the Texas Air National Guard.

Doesn’t the press know that you are supposed to do your homework before you turn it in? Even in my limited education, I was held to these standards. Guess it doesn’t apply if you are major media outlet.

Looks like the gaim developers have been working hard.

Once again, thanks to all who have contributed bug reports over the last two weeks. 2.09 fixes a LOT of stuff. To give the quick lowdown, auto-responses work again, uptime is fixed on Solaris (and several other) systems, log statistics now include people who have not been contacted since Gaim started using the new logging format, log statistics handle HTML logs properly, Makefiles should now find header files properly, and the program should not crash either in the preferences menu or when using both Gaim and AutoProfile away at the same time. Whew!

What a surprise. If normal people did crap like this in their jobs, they would get fired. Politicians do it, and no one thinks twice about it.

The Kerry camp is lying about the estimated cost of the war in Iraq, muddling up the numbers to make Bush look bad (talk about beating a dead horse). Will this show up in the mainstream press? Of course not.
