Trash Talk - All You Kneed To Know About Tom
In all the hubbub over the election, debates, McCain inciting racial strife and, of course, our economy continuing to fall off the face of the earth, the usually astute american public consciousness has lost track of a critically important story they usually would be all over. Tom Brady has undergone yet another knee operation.

Another 16 Words: Boumediene Bites Bush Again
Laura Rozen rocks, and today she rolls up more jaw dropping malevolence and fraud on the part of the Bush/Cheney Administration.

Two Years to Indict Tan Nguyen
Remember Tan Nguyen? He's the asshole who, in his race against Loretta Sanchez in 2006, sent out fliers in Spanish to recently registered voters warning that immigrants could be imprisoned if they voted.
He was indicted on October 1 on one charge of obstruction. Two years after he tried to dissuade Latinos from voting.
Now, I'm thrilled he's been indicted.

The Illegal Wiretappers in John McCain's Backyard
