Fellow blogger and NBA team owner Marc Cuban has been fined for his critical views in a blog entry about the NBA season opening the same night as election night. Wow, it's corny enough they fine people for being critical of referees, but this is just stupid.
Apparently John Ashcroft doesn't
WASHINGTON - Federal judges are jeopardizing national security by issuing rulings contradictory to President Bush's decisions on America's obligations under international treaties and agreements, Attorney General John Ashcroft said Friday.
In his first remarks since his resignation was announced Tuesday, Ashcroft forcefully denounced what he called "a profoundly disturbing trend" among some judges to interfere in the president's constitutional authority to make decisions during war.
"The danger I see here is that intrusive judicial oversight and second-guessing of presidential determinations in these critical areas can put at risk the very security of our nation in a time of war," Ashcroft said in a speech to the Federalist Society, a conservative lawyers group.
...
"Courts are not equipped to execute the law. They are not accountable to the people," Ashcroft said.
Breaking news dude, that's their job! Lawgeek has more about this.

Session Title: Are We Still Doing Women's Studies?
In recent years the focus of Women's Studies has shifted in many contexts from women to gender, and in some cases to sexuality as a general topic. Some feminists feel that Women's Studies programs are outdated or unnecessary, in fact, because the view of gender has changed. In this session we will examine this issue, but also re-assert the need for Women's Studies as a separate category from Gender Studies as a whole, within the contexts of both literature and composition studies.

So the one million plus fine Fox was given for their show Married By America was based on complaints by a total of three fucking people. Great. If I get two friends can we fine the makers of the "...and twins!" commercials infinity billion dollars?
Implementation is going to be a store front display.
I guess Thomas Pynchon was on The Simpsons this week?
Howard Dean
That zany radical left winger John Kerry is apparently trying to block Howard Dean's appointment to chair of the DNC. Wishy washy moderates who I wouldn't vote for if you put a gun to my head trying to stop people who are actually sorta progressive from being involved....boy the next four years are going to be wonderful for the Democrats. Screw em.
