The FBI issued a Valentine’s Day themed-press release warning of the danger of online dating scams: “Millions of Americans visit online dating websites every year hoping to find a companion or even a soulmate. But as Valentine’s Day gets closer, we want to warn you that criminals use these sites, too, looking to turn the lonely and […]
Is anyone else having trouble distinguishing today’s two most popular acronyms – SOTU & STFU? When people ask why I watch Obama speeches, I shrug and admit that that is part of the terms of my parole. What will Obama’s biggest howlers be tonight? I am expecting a burst of candor as much as I […]
Attorney General Eric Holder & NSA poohbahs should be required to plead guilty before starting any clemency talks with Snowden.

If this isn’t a @#$@#$ anti-Constitution ruling, I don’t know what is. Federal judge William Pauley upheld the feds seizing all Americans phone records. Why? ““This blunt tool only works because it collects everything,” Pauley decreed. This dude should be a White House spokesman, not a federal judge. At least his decision, by creating a […]
