You may be surprised to learn that Jeb Bush is Roman Catholic. What’s even more surprising is that the media calls him devout, considering his enthusiastic support for capital punishment, preemptive war, and screwing over poor people.
John Ellis Bush
•
How is it that, after stating his intention to run for President of the United States in 2016, serving as governor of Florida, and possibly becoming the third member of his family to serve as president in 30 years, no one knows the real name of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush?
Burning Bag
•
Congressional Republicans have stooped to new lows against Pres. Obama in recent weeks: inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress during delicate nuclear negotiations with Iran, and even sending a letter to Iran trying to undermine the negotiations by saying that the president doesn’t have the authorization to negotiate on behalf of the United States. And of course these were the same guys who heckled him during the State of the Union address. What’s next?
She Has That Privilege
•
In George Orwell’s novel “1984,” elite officials of the government were allowed to turn off the tele-screen that monitored their every move. Today, in the United States, the national security agency spies on every American. But some Americans are more equal than others: Hillary Clinton has revealed that she chose to delete her personal emails, choosing herself which ones during her tenure as Secretary of State under Obama would be turned over to the National Archives. Without a hint of irony, she defended her right to privacy, even though she voted for NSA spying and repeatedly called Edward Snowden a traitor.
Good Enough for Goverment Werk
•
An analysis of intelligence agency website pages found that 32% of the CIA site pages contain serious grammatical and spelling errors. Gives a new meaning to counterintelligence, but it also explains the agency’s accuracy in their covert drone program.
Too Stupid To Nuke
•
Libya agreed to give up its nuclear program and had its government overthrown. Afghanistan and Iraq didn’t have one and got invaded. If the Iranians, with their long experience of American interference, agree not to build nuclear weapons, they would be idiots.
Hillary and the NSA, Sitting in a Tree
•
Hillary Clinton used a private email account during her tenure as Secretary of State between 2009 and 2013, possibly in violation of federal law and regulations. This might finally explain her record of running interference for the National Security Agency.
Drone Nation Is Coming
•
Armed drone warfare has radically altered the nation of warfare. No longer are there multiple combatants. Now there is the hunter and the prey. It’s only a matter of time before drones are used the same way in the United States as they are used abroad.
HomeSec, We Hardly Knew Ye
•
A fight in Congress threatened to shut down the Department of Homeland Security. What would we do without the brave men and women of the TSA?
Too Stupid To Not Fail
•
Idaho State Representative Vito Barbieri, a Republican, earned mass ridicule for suggesting that a woman’s stomach is directy connected to her vagina. Should anyone that stupid be making public policy?
