Wait. Did I miss something? Did McCain actually win the last election?

Ugh. Giving terrorists Miranda warnings didn't cause any problems in terms of getting them to talk, but Lieberman and Lindsay gram pitched a fit about it so I guess our civil liberties had better go!

Really unfortunate, but sadly not disappointing. I expect the Democrats to do nothing but try to play more and more Republican than the Republicans - hence the "left" of our political spectrum today is far to the right of Nixon. I'll never vote for them again, the quicker they completely cave, the faster we have the opportunity for a new and honestly confrontational opposition party. Down with with TweedleDemocrats and the TweedleDumlicans!! (I can't claim that one unfortunately, that's a Bertel Ollman line from the board game Class War.)

Nice, a link to google news.
It's an AP article, not Google's.

The sad thing is the idea that the United States should be treating pathetic crimes like trying to blow up Times Square with firecrackers as full-blown Acts of War. Are we really that scared? These people are clowns.
