The United States is not a Monarchy!

Alexandre Dumas and his character, Edmond Dantès, the wrongfully imprisoned protagonist of The Count of Monte Cristo would be happy to know that order has finally been restored to the world and the U.S Constitution.The Supreme court in a 5-4 decision has ruled that President Bush can not use the Military Commissions Act of 2006 to create his own private “Gulag Archipelago“. The court has ruled that the 200+ detainees being held as “enemy combatants” at Guantanamo Bay can no longer be held indefinitely in “Siberian Hell” without some semblance of due process. They have the right to challenge their detention in U.S. Civil Courts. A huge victory for the Constitution of the United States and all those who oppose “defacto monarchical” rule.Are these detainees combatants against the Constitution and freedoms of the United States? Maybe they are. Maybe they deserve everything they eventually get or have already received. I have no idea. Neither do you. Neither does President Bush. No independent fact finder has ever been given the opportunity to hear an “offer of proof”. What we have is a classic case of “it is because I say it is”. Thats great when punishing your children but not when denying basic human rights. The most basic of these being the rights of freedom and to know why you are being denied that freedom. If it is proven that any or all of these people raised arms against the United States, try them in accordance with military rules and let the chips fall where they may. I have no problem with that. The problem I have is with the “vertically integrated” way these decisions are being made. Decisions made by President Bush and cascading straight down the “yes sir” line right to the gallows. That is a monarchy not a democracy. There are some that might argue for the much harsher “D” word.The argument that “classified information” will have to be disclosed in any habeas corpus hearing is a fallacy. If a United States Attorney is not capable of coming up with a court acceptable way of proving the necessity of detention without exposing such information, I question his/her qualifications for the job. I have a hard time believing this is the first time they have ever dealt with the protection of classified information in a civil court setting. Spare me the theatrics.I can’t help but think back to when I saw the movie “The Rock“. Sean Connery played a former British agent who was caught by the United States with devastating classified information in his possession. He was held by the United States without bail, trial or identity for over 30 years. At the time I thought the premise was ridiculous.In the end The Supreme Court has spoken for those imprisoned and muzzled even if they probably are dangerous scumbags. We are still a democracy even at 5-4. Score one for the Constitution.

At least he used his manners. His mom must have been in the car.
The cameraman must have nerves of steel.

Urban Soccer II

This guy has some serious skills. I'm wondering how many of those he did on the first take. Some of those had to be first takes unless the other people were in on it. Anyway, if you missed the first video then look below. Enjoy!

Pastor Issues 30 Day Sex Challenge

I need to get my wife to go to a church like this.
It seems to get a little awkward when the anchor
asks if they've started the challenge. For a minute
there I thought he was going to ask what positions
they have tried so far.

'Warcraft' Sequel Lets Gamers Play A Character Playing 'Warcraft'

Saving Money

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart's and the husband picks up a case of Budweiser

and put it in their shopping cart.

”What do you think you're doing?” asks the wife.

“They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,” he replies.

“Put them back, we can't afford them,” demands the wife. So he does and they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and put it in the shopping cart.

“What do you think you're doing?” asks the husband.

“It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,” replies the wife.

Her husband retorts: "So does 24 cans of Budweiser and its half the price!!"

A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane.
He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his.

Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, 'Business trip or pleasure?'

She turned, smiled and said, 'Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston .'

He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs.

Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked!,

'What's your business role at this convention?'

'Lecturer,' she responded. 'I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.'

'Really?' he said. 'And what kind of myths are there?'

'Well,' she explained, 'one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.


Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who are the best.

I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck.'

Suddenly the woman became a little! uncomfortable and blushed.
'I'm sorry,' she said, 'I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don't even know your name.'

'Tonto,' the man said, 'Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba.'
