"Senate bars detainees from filing lawsuits"
WASHINGTON - The Senate voted Thursday to bar foreign terror suspects at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from filing lawsuits in American courts to challenge their detentions, despite a Supreme Court ruling last year that granted such access.

Man, what a pair of saggers. The dangers of weight training indeed.

Is that for real??? Wowzers! No wonder he quit show business!

Beware the dangers of (not) weight training!

With apologies to E. Steven...
Beware the dangers of not repeating previous quips. ;-)

What picture of Arnold?? Firefox may be over-aggressively removing pics, cos I only see on pic of Arnold on the home page and there's nothing sagging in it.

Well, there's only so much weight training you can do and guys who overdevelop themselves into mountains of muscle repleat with man-boobs [and BTW, men should never have bigger tits than women] face a greater chance of aging into something resembling a well worn, tufted sofa.
BTW, I saw Iggy at Bumbershoot a couple of months ago and he looked fucking awesome! Not an scrap of wasted meat on that guy.

California is going to be the first example of why direct democracy will not work.
The masses really ARE too stupid to govern themselves.
Mainly because for some reason a large number of people think that if they vote for health care, it will suddenly exist; if they vote for pensions, they can suddenly retire.
It's insane! I think most of this country is truly unable to tell the difference between the abstract and reality!

Great piece Tim.
It's tempting to holler about greedy unions and power-mad Democrats who refuse to give an inch for the common good, but in the economy of political benefit, they're simply rational actors, protecting benefits that will almost certainly go to somebody else if they don't get them.
I think they are both power-mad and acting in their rational best interest.

We'd have to get the cat back in the bag, first.
Prop 9722:
California will hereafter be a republic again. There will be no more propositions, except for Prop 9723.
Prop 9723:
Administrative positions, such as Insurance Commissioner, Attorney General, and Chief Dog Catcher, shall no longer be staffed by the electorate. Instead these positions shall be staffed, or eliminated, by the Governor with the approval of the Legislature.

As an anarchist (nonvoter), I don't know for sure, but I think, in Ohio and in Sinincincinnati, there were, as in Kahleefohnya, a plethora of issues and such-like on the ballot. What I'm getting to is that what happened in Sinincincinnati almost renewed my faith in Ouija boards.
On Sinincincinnati City Clowncil the flotsam is still floating, but, more importantly, the jetsam was jettisoned. And potential jetsam is still behind the velvet rope.
Praise Ouija! Just praise (it).
Watch out! Sinincincinnati is destined to be only 9 years behind instead of 10.
So burn Paris, burn!
