from the United States. You can't help but wonder if the other tea party

So we now know that half of Texas' Republicans want to secede from the United
States. So I have some questions for that crowd:
Are you flying an American flag? Because you don't get to do that when you cry
and take your ball home.
Do you have a bumper sticker that says, "These colors don't run"? Because it
sure looks like you're running.
Do you still pretend that you party is the "Party of Lincoln"? If so, what part
of Lincoln exactly, would that be?
Since you've spent the last eight years saying "America, love it or leave it",
is that an admission that you don't love America? Because we liberals? We loved
it and stayed, even when your idiot of a president was trashing the place.
Was your patriotism (My country, right or wrong) so skin-deep, that it depended
100 percent on the guy in the White House?
That $200 billion Texas got in defense contracts between 2000 and 2007? No more
of that. No more Ft. Hood. No more NASA. No more federal largesse. You okay
with that?
You do realize that the Cowboys will no longer be "America's Team", right?
Though they'd dominate the two-team Texas Football League (TFL).

The Million Militia Man March

"A peaceful demonstration of at least a million -- hey, if we can 10 million,

Washington. A peaceful demonstration. No shooting, no one gets hurt. Just a

all be armed."

Hillary Clinton Launches Intimidating New Fragrance Line
http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/hillary_clinton_launches
Unveiling a bold scent described by its manufacturer as "steely, bracing, and
curt, with notes of patent leather, sandalwood, and wool serge," Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton launched her own line of soaps, eaux de toilette, and
body splashes Thursday. The new fragrance, called "Authorité," was designed to
evoke the olfactory equivalent of sensible shoes clicking purposefully down a
marble-tiled hallway.
"Our distinguished parfumeurs -- and, more importantly, Madame Secretary --
have created exactly the right tone, a scent that brooks no argument,"
spokesperson Etienne Falbaum said. "This is a controlled, competent, and, above
all, patient essence that makes men sit up, take notice, and not speak until
spoken to."
Advertising inserts scented with Authorité will be featured in upcoming
editions of Elle, The Economist, and The New York Review of Books.

FEDERAL LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY NAPOLITANO
http://tinyurl.com/cptj7y
The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann
Arbor, Michigan, announced Friday evening that it filed a federal lawsuit
against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
The lawsuit claims that her Department's "Right-wing Extremism Policy," as
reflected in the recently publicized Intelligence Assessment, "Right-wing
Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in
Radicalization and Recruitment," violates the civil liberties of combat
veterans as well as American citizens by targeting them for disfavored
treatment on account of their political beliefs. ...
[Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Law Center] added, "The
Obama Administration has declared war on American patriots and our
Constitution. The Report even admits that the Department has no specific
information on any plans of violence by so-called ‘rightwing extremists.'
Rather, what they do have is the expression of political opinions by certain
individuals and organizations that oppose the Obama administration's policies,
and this expression is protected speech under the First Amendment." ...

Conservative Reps. Want Napolitano Out
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21606.html
House Republicans are calling on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
to step down or be fired in the wake of a controversial department memo that
has sparked indignant battle cries from conservatives and some veterans.
"Singling out political opponents for working against the ruling party is
precisely the tactic of every tyrannical government from Red China to
Venezuela," said Texas Rep. John Carter, a member of the party's elected
leadership who has organized an hour of floor speeches Wednesday night to call
for Napolitano's ouster. "The first step in the process is creating unfounded
public suspicion of political opponents, followed by arresting and jailing any
who continue speaking against the regime." ...

Jane Harman's Wiretapped Conversations
http://tinyurl.com/cb8zg2
Rep. Jane Harman is asking the Justice Department to release its transcripts of
wiretapped telephone conversations she reportedly had with a suspected Israeli
agent in 2005 or 2006, according to the Wall Street Journal. ...
CQ's sources, and sources cited today in the New York Times, say that Harman
was caught on the wiretap telling the suspected Israeli agent that she would
lobby Bush administration officials to reduce the charges against the two
members of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) accused of
spying. In exchange, the sources said, the suspected agent promised to help her
get appointed chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
CQ said that, according to its sources, Harman told the caller she would
"waddle in" to the espionage case "if you think it would make a difference."
She also said, "This conversation doesn't exist." ...
And today, Harman wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder expressing outrage that
she had been wiretapped.
"This abuse of power is outrageous and I call on your Department to release all
transcripts and other investigative material involving me in an unredacted
form," Harman wrote. "It is my intention to make this material available to the
public." ...
There were later reports that the FBI had dropped the Harman investigation for
lack of evidence. But CQ, citing three former national security officials,
reported this week that then-Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales halted the
investigation because he wanted Harman to defend the Bush administration's
warrantless wiretapping program. The program was about to be made public by the
New York Times. ...
=--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--=
Dear Jane,
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about.
Love,
All the people illegally wiretapped in the program you repeatedly supported.

Harman Attacks U.S. Government for Recording Her Phone Call
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=a0VhIoWfustY
U.S. Representative Jane Harman said the taping of one of her phone calls as
part of a federal investigation represented an "abuse of power" and demanded
that the Justice Department release the transcript.
"I am offended by it. It's an abuse of power," Harman, a California Democrat,
said in an interview yesterday with CNN. "Those were informal conversations
with friends of mine." ...
The New York Times reported yesterday that in 2004 Harman called Philip
Taubman, then the Washington bureau chief of the New York Times, to urge the
newspaper not to disclose a National Security Agency program of wiretaps
without court warrants. The Times published a story on the program in December
2005. ...

Bush Says, Bring It On; the Critics Will
Jan. 03, 2006
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1145222,00.html
Up until a couple of weeks ago, George W. Bush's script to put the misery of
2005 behind him had seemed destined for a smooth rollout. ... But the
revelation that his Administration has been spying in this country without
warrants--illegally, critics say--may have put a crimp in Bush's plan to climb
back on top of the agenda as the new legislative session begins. "When Congress
comes back," warns a top G.O.P. congressional aide, "domestic surveillance and
privacy issues will be all over the front pages." ..
.. G.O.P. strategists argue that Democrats have little leeway to attack on the
issue because it could make them look weak on national security and because
some of their leaders were briefed about the the National Security Agency (NSA)
no-warrant surveillance before it became public knowledge. Some key Democrats
even defend it. Says California's Jane Harman, ranking Democrat on the House
Intelligence Committee: "I believe the program is essential to U.S. national
security and that its disclosure has damaged critical intelligence
capabilities." ...

BREAKING NEWS from PNN.news.com
-- Jane Harman, a vigorous Democratic supporter of President Bush's illegal NSA
wiretaps, is completely outraged that she was wiretapped.
