Attorney General told judges not to use judgement

Gonzales equals torture

Yep, in typical “we know what’s best for you all” fashion, Alberto Gonzalez, Attorney General of the United States, will advise judges Wednesday that they should allow the wishes of the White House cabal to override their judicial independence and oversight when it comes to … basically, anything.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales says federal judges are unqualified to make rulings affecting national security policy, ramping up his criticism of how they handle terrorism cases.

In remarks prepared for delivery Wednesday, Gonzales says judges generally should defer to the will of the president and Congress when deciding national security cases. He also raps jurists who “apply an activist philosophy that stretches the law to suit policy preferences.”

Just like he’s asking them to do, to suit White House policy preferences. Let us just hope that he’s restrained by higher-ups who see that the Constitution and the independent Judiciary are not to be trifled with.

Oh, that’s right. He reports to Cheney.

in praise of granny panties

Well, do ya, punk?Here’s another reason (as if you needed another reason) to love granny panties: they make excellent undeclared carry-ons! I may never have to do without my box cutters on a long flight ever again.

Klingons in the White House!!! or are they really Vulcans???

A rather lively political debate on the Daily Show about just exactly which alien race is inhabiting the White House right now: Klingons or Vulcans. With bonus contributions from Leonard Nimoy and George Takei. I still say the world would be a better place if they had ROMULANS in the White House! Romulans are no less sinister than any other race, but they are just frickin’ cool.
