Okay, I am actually glad this worked out, because President Obama made it very clear that same sex partners are allowed to see their love ones in their time of need. Nothing short of this is acceptable. As it should be.

But how we got here was a dirty trick by the Clay M. Greene camp to get publicity for their upcoming trial in July.

Here me out, I was right about the balloon boy.

So here we go:

Okay, hit and run today, but I found this comical beyond belief.

First, what am I talking about:

http://www.eff.org/...

What is ACTA?
In October 2007 the United States, the European Community, Switzerland and Japan simultaneously announced that they would negotiate a new intellectual property enforcement treaty, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA. Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Canada have joined the negotiations. Although the proposed treaty’s title might suggest that the agreement deals only with counterfeit physical goods (such as medicines), what little information has been made available publicly by negotiating governments about the content of the treaty makes it clear that it will have a far broader scope, and in particular, will deal with new tools targetting "Internet distribution and information technology".

Well, sometimes you love a poll, but you question the polling agency. In today's installment of what to believe, we have Bill White polling within striking distance of the Panderer from the Panhandle, aka Governor Rick Perry.

Election 2010: Texas Governor
Monday, April 19, 2010
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/...

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Texas voters finds Perry with 48% support. His Democratic opponent, former Houston Mayor Bill White, picks up 44% of the vote, his best showing to date. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) remain undecided.

I don't like the Squid. Never have, never will. But what the SEC just pulled will be hard as hell to prove in court. But it will also help the Democrats push through financial reform, because Republicans know they do not want to be Teabagged themselves.

As it were, I have the Abacus 2007-Ac1 Flipbook in question.

Want to take a gander?

If you are a fan of the Space Program, then today is your lucky day For anyone who understands how the space program has created the technology you enjoy today, two news items should send you over the moon and maybe even land on mars.

Here is a time capsule, from the Clinton Militia Era. Most people forgot this happened before, so I think it is time to break the seal on the vault so we can reflect upon where we are today as oppose to where we were then.

Nothing has been edited or updated to change the piece, though it does get into the realm protected by black helicopters and men in black. What can I say, Alex Jones was our drinking buddy back then, well before he was famous.

So I will let it stand on its own, a historical piece of a somewhat timely matter.

Cycles, gotta love'em.

Look, I am sick and tired of this bullshit being flung around about copyright.

Yes, BULLSHIT.

Everyone here complains about how bad the MainStream Media does their jobs and when a few journalist do their jobs correctly, guess what?

Proper Credit is not given.

Fair Use depends on proper credit being given to the creative source of the media being used.

Since people here find other people's work worth passing off inside their own wrapper, people should learn how to credit works by journalists, be they written or photos, properly.

4:25 it starts.

This is not for the faint of heart, for you will see the assassination of journalists via WikiLeaks.

Routers demanded an investigation.

The US Military said the Apache was under RPG and AK47 fire.

Then the video got out.

I guess this explains why I have been hiring while everyone else in the country has been all doom and gloom about the economy. Funny stuff actually, because once you see the numbers under the hood, you should remember one thing:

This is exactly what Al Gore was promoting.

So, thanks to George W. Bush we had a Lost Decade of economic development that was wasted on an infrastructure build we did not need that ended with a near collapse of the entire global economy.

But hey, that's just what Junior does!

So cheer up buttercups, the adults are in charge again and we are back on track!

Ah, nothing like immigration to really feel the fubar of bureaucracy. When I first read this, I was thinking this was some sort of bad joke on April Fools, but nope, our fine government actually did this.

Rushed From Haiti, Then Jailed for Lacking Visas
By NINA BERNSTEIN
http://www.nytimes.com/...

More than two months after the earthquake that devastated Haiti, at least 30 survivors who were waved onto planes by Marines in the chaotic aftermath are prisoners of the United States immigration system, locked up since their arrival in detention centers in Florida.

But when they landed in the United States without visas, they were taken into custody by immigration authorities and held for deportation, even though deportations to Haiti have been suspended indefinitely since the earthquake. Legal advocates who stumbled on the survivors in February at the Broward County Transitional Center, a privately operated immigration jail in Pompano Beach, Fla., have tried for weeks to persuade government officials to release them to citizen relatives who are eager to take them in, letters and affidavits show.

Today starts another journey for much needed reform of corporate greed over the general welfare of the republic. The mantra of testing companies and Big Pharma has been that patents help them recoup their research and development costs, but at the cost of making such advancements available to all citizens who need preventative medicine but cannot afford the sticker price.

This judgement by Judge Sweet is pretty sweet, so let's take a gander at what could reshape biotech industry.

First off, I am a borderline absolutist when it comes to the first amendment and have read William Douglas's opinions on the matter extensively. I, myself, have been known to make pretty unpopular statements, but I have never incited my fellow citizens to unlawful actions.

Such is not the case of Lynchburg tea party organizer Mike Troxel. He fails what is referred to as the Brandenburg test.
