While the resolution failed to pass, it changed the conversation. It changed the conversation online....
WatchTHE MOST COMPELLING FOOTAGE OF ELDERLY ABUSE YOU WILL SEE TODAY Some kid set up the video camera and risked sending Grandmom to an early grave by sitting her down in front of the Internet and showing her the viral shock video that everyone has been irresponsibly passing around lately (I’m looking at you, Boingboing) although I am an early adopter so I gagged to the first 14 seconds of it...

Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) today said that several current and former White House officials, including Karl Rove and Josh Bolten, “must comply with committee subpoenas to testify” about the U.S. attorney scandal.

I’ve written about this issue before but here is the latest development. For me, the picture says it all. Olmert is smiling at Bush, hoping that America continues to support Israel. Bush is smirking at Abbas, thinking, “don’t fuck this up or I will invade you too”, and Abbas is giving a tight-lipped smile to Olmert, thinking, “I hope this doesn’t get me...
