For those of you fortunate enough to live in the Intermountain West and the Nortwest, be thankful that your phone company believes in the constitution.  Qwest told the Bush administration that it would not share information about phone activity of its subscribers.  Now I am by no mean a fan of Qwest. The company has has a storied past and has not always dealt with its employees in fair ways.  I do believe that Qwest should be applauded for its latest action.  The protection of Liberty is central to the operation of of democracy.  Domestic surveylence undermines the very trust and freedom that we the people give to the government.

A jury found Super Dell not guilty on the charge of threatening to use a deadly weapon. Dell was found guilty of lieing. Lieing is a sin.

The bible says:

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Check out the flame war here.

Donald, our favorite incompitent head of the U.S. Armed Forces, is under fire.  Multiple retired generals, including generals who commanded soldiers in Iraq, have called for his resignation.  George, true to form, today said that he has full faith in Donald. 

This is classic Bush administration policy.  When someone does a bad job, you reward and retain that individual.  The Sec of Defense is in a very interesting position.  His position embodies what will become the lasting legacy of the administration, the Iraq war.  If Bush were to fire Rumsfield it would be a clear signal that things are not going well with the war in Iraq.  We all know that things are going great in Iraq!

Today marks the third aniversary of the Iraq war.  Three year’s worth of death, instability, and a dwindling image of Amercia across the world.  I fear that wen we do finally leave the Iraqi wasteland we will have created a Middle East so unstable that we will have to go back again.

The Bush administration looks like they will be on an all out offensive today on the Sunday talk shows.  I see that Gen. Casey is scheduled to be on at least 3 talk shows.  I am sure that we will hear that “things are going great in Iraq.”  NO!, things are not going well in Iraq.

Hope you enjoy that legacy Mr. Bush.

Well the good old boys from South Park have offended us again! This time they made too much fun of the Church of Scientology. I saw the episode, it was awesome. Check out their official statement concerning the pulling of the show.

In democratic elections, the “terrorist” group Hamas gained a majority in parliment.  It will be very interesting to see how this plays out in the future of the World.  The United States and Israel refuse to recognize hamas as a legitimate government.  Oh what a mess!

Well it is late (or early) and I am still awake.  I am looking outside in a north eastern direction and I am seeing SNOW!  Yeah that is right, snow in Utah, the land of the “Greatest Snow on Earth.”  This year the snow has been great in the mountains but extremely lack luster in the Wasatch Front.  This morning is definately the execption.

I can’t wait to drive to work in the morning.  I am being completely honest.  I love the chaos when the roads are covered with snow and every body is running late.  I guess I just love seeing something different!

I watched PBS’s Frontline / Country Boys over the past three days.  It was a very interesting documentary.  Country Boys is a story about two boys who grow up in Eastern Kentucky.  The documentary spans the space of three years.  I would highly reccomend that you watch it.  For a young twenty something who is only one year older than the Boys I found that while I grew up in a more suburban setting, many aspects of my life were directly comparible with their lives.

Well it is no surprise that the Republicans are in trouble.  I am so happy to see the GOP slipping.  They have had power too long and they are becoming completely corrupt.  Perhaps 2006 will be the year that the United States returns to the post-modern democratic nation that it is meant to be!
