…whose spunk I’ll admire even while simultaneously being too much of a sissy to mimic it.
(Thanks, Radley.)

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

This is fantastic. Everyone should do this if they have the time. I would like to know if there is any recourse for having been detained unlawfully?

Part of me likes what this guy did, especially when he asserts that CPB's actions are about power, not security.
The other part of me feels like we should be asking people rentering the U.S. what they were doing abroad and why they were traveling abroad, especially when returning from sensitive countries (i.e. Arab countries, communist countries, etc.).
I like the Israeli approach where they question every traveler flying on El Al to do a little subjective profiling. Israeli military personnel ask several questions while you are in line for check in and gauge your reactions to being questioned - obviously a Palestinian terrorist will be hostile - they cannot help it.
I prefer questioning to emptying my pockets and physical searches. I don't care if CPB or TSA know why I am going to some other country and I am more than happy to tell them why I went wherever and what I did.

We is goona get them lefties with in our guns, if in they don't let us steal this here up coming election.
Sharron Angle may get what she wishes for, and i hope she does. The statement is on some talking right wing nut heads radio archives, so it cannot be dismissed. Even Danny Tarkanian, her primary opponent, is trying to soften her comments, but all he did was make the blather more newsworthy.
When all you gutless armchair warriors try to enter the ghettos, you will be wiped out.
And real Americans, such as myself, will take care of any intruders into my house.
So you scum sucking right wing trash, if you feel froggy, leap.

Welcome Coo Coo.
Question:
Why in hell would we want to enter the ghettos?
We would enjoy inviting the good folks there out of a ghetto.
We will welcome them with open arms...and probably give them a meaningful job...if they will sign a "no-sue" contract.
In the mean time, enjoy your roaches.
