Reads a little too much like non-fiction.

Dick Cheney Gets Heart Transplant

Surprisingly, a black heart was on the donor’s list.

Don’t ever be afraid to address your city council

Doug McCaughan — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:36:15 +0000

Have you ever stood before your city council? Have you ever expressed your ire with a law? Voiced your discontent with a resolution?

This is your First Amendment right demonstrated. Watch. Cringe. And follow James Inman‘s example.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Today is Bill of Rights Day

Today is Bill of Rights Day

Today is Bill of Rights Day. To Americans, the Bill of Rights are key amendments to the U.S. Constitution, that protect our individual rights.

I find it without irony that the US Senate has passed a bill allowing the indefinite detention of US citizens and that the House of Representatives appears ready to pass the bill, and on this very day the House Judiciary Committee is ready to make a vote on SOPA which will dramatically alter the Internet and people’s rights on the Internet.

I like this quote:

It is a curious way to celebrate the 220th anniversary of the Bill of Rights.

"If you win, you can cross over; if we win, you throw pot over the fence."

Wow! Main stream media stood up! This is an excellent piece of journalism. Well worth the nine minutes.

And then the Tea Party cheered the death of the uninsured

Doug McCaughan — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:18:13 +0000

And Ron Paul back-peddles.

Ron Paul Speaks the Truth!

Doug McCaughan — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:08:02 +0000

I have to hand it to Ron Paul. Rick Santorum, attacking Ron Paul, gets applause while showing his ignorance of US foreign policy. When Ron Paul explains, Ron Paul gets boo’d. This exemplifies how Republicans govern on fear and how the Republican audience fails to comprehend the more complex issues at hand.

Let me rephrase:
Ron Paul speaks, we have bases on their sacred land, we mistreat the Palestinians, over the past decade we’ve killed thousands of their people. Audience reacts with boos.
Rick Santorum, Republican poster child, speaks, they hate us because of our lifestyle. Audience reacts with cheers.

Are the American people really that full of themselves?

Thank you Tea Party!
