Dear Dianne: Stop Insulting America’s Sixth Graders

by | 11:30 am, March 18, 2013

And, while you’re at it, go f*** yourself with an extended magazine. You bilious old moose. Oh, Dianne Feinstein, America’s precious little child, she who gets more and more thin skinned with each passing term in the Senate. Dianne epitomizes that breed who go into a field known for being markedly insensitive to feelings and [...]

It’s Been a Weird Day in a Good Way: Two Court Rulings Represent Hope for Privacy

by | 7:06 pm, March 15, 2013

In one day, two major court decisions have put Executive overreach on the defensive and given civil liberty advocates momentum. In California, a federal judge held that National Security Letters, with their built-in gag orders, are unconstitutional. (Decision, here.) Meanwhile, federal courts also reinstated an ACLU lawsuit challenging the CIA’s ‘Glomar’ response of targeted drone [...]

CRS Reports – Food for Wonks – Need to be Freely Available

by | 5:46 am, March 9, 2013

A few days ago, I’d never heard of either Leonard Lance (R-NJ) or Mike Quigley (D-IL).  However, now I intend to send them both muffin baskets and PPC pins. The two Representatives are sponsoring “Public Access to Congressional Research Service Reports Resolution of 2013“, a Congressional Resolution that would make CRS reports available freely and [...]

Security Theater Sets a Dangerous New Norm in Air Travel

by | 10:59 pm, March 8, 2013

Recently, is a rare, nay, unprecedented, display of good sense, the TSA announced that, as of April 25, 2013, small knives will again be allowed in carry-on baggage. To date, 9,300 people have signed a petition, sponsored by airline workers unions, to overturn that.  In part, the petition language reads: Our nation’s aviation system is [...]

This Could be Promising

by | 5:00 pm, March 7, 2013

I’ve already tossed up a longer post about what’s so very wrong with GOP dinosaurs getting their panties all twisted about yesterday’s filibuster. But here are two hopeful signs. 1. During the filibuster, RNC Chair Reince Preibus publicly urged all Republican members to go to the Senate floor and “help out” 2. Senate Minority Leader [...]

In Which Eric Holder Takes Care of His Correspondence Whilst Mssrs Graham and McCain Pursue Political Hari-Kari

by | 4:44 pm, March 7, 2013

And, on that note, may hordes of angry voters wing you to irrelevance and powerlessness: John, Lindsey, you have brought shame on your office and neither of you is fit to serve the Americans – and that is the official editorial position of the Peoples Press Collective. Rand Paul, meanwhile, has a lifetime honorary membership [...]

Look Who Shot Herself in the Foot! (Hint, It’s Evie Hudak)

by | 12:52 am, March 7, 2013

The Denver Post dug up the numbers Evie Hudak was relying on when she made her atrocious criticism of a rape victim who was testifying before the legislature. In short, it’s a 15-year-old study and the actual statistic Hudak alluded to is nowhere to be found in the study. Because it apparently struck her as [...]

Holder’s First Letter to Paul Precipitates the Best Filibuster Ever

by | 11:46 pm, March 6, 2013

We are into the 13th hour of a filibuster to demand accountability from Barack Obama on drone killings.  At this moment, I feel better about the state of the Union and the hope for this nation than I have in years.  I adore the concept of the filibuster and I am downright lovin’ this particular [...]

In Which Evie Hudak Likes Victims So Much That She Wants To Make More of Them

by | 5:44 pm, March 5, 2013

If the Colorado Democrats put their foot in their mouth one more time on gun rights, I am going to recommend mercy killing for the lot of them.  To be clear, we voters are the one who deserve a little mercy. Joe Salazar has largely gotten away with his characterization of women as histrionic little [...]

One Flimsy White House Promise and a Classified Vote Later, And We Have A New CIA Director

by | 4:32 pm, March 5, 2013

The last public news on John Brennan, Barack Obama’s pick to head the CIA, was weeks ago, when his public confirmation hearing was held. In short, Code Pink made fools of themselves, Brennan lied, committee chair Dianne Feinstein lied and made a fool of herself, and there was posturing all around. In other words, all went according [...]
