The Homeland Security Agency is unconstitutional anyway because it is a merger of civilian law enforcement with the military – which is the formula for a dictatorship! That is something which is never done in a republic!
Apparently these worries of draconian agencies weren’t turned on for the past seven years under the decades royal failure in chief, W. Now it’s ‘gubment gonna getcha you betcha’ pills being passed around without any regard for a civilized society but fear. Suggesting the “bullet box” is one thing and passing out fear for her own popularity and personal gain is quite a few things more. No this wasn’t Sara Palin. This time the award for pure tackiness goes to Catherine Crabill.
I pretty much ignore the Palin circus but seeing as how this is a piece of political news and a governor of a state just resigned, it makes sense to reign in the sunshine. Rumors are abound that she is now about to be federally charged for some shady dealings on the construction of her house just months before she started her race for governor. The resignation letter on her web site is pure gold.
Letterman-Palin fued was fake
Now we know what the “Letterman” incident was about a few weeks back. All I could think was “why now? Why make up this attack on her family that Letterman never did and play it so hard into the media? It was all about playing herself as the victim and continually build the charade that everyone is after the Palin family. We now know it was in anticipation of this resignation over an impending investigation.
Meanwhile in other news: a coup in Honduras, Rush Limbaugh wishes it would happen here, and Iranians are still proving themselves to have bigger balls when it comes to public protest than we currently do.

Obama said that "this is not some fanciful, pie-in-the-sky vision of the future. It's happening now. The problem is, it's happening elsewhere." He cited superior high-speed rail travel in countries like China, Japan, France and Spain.
Obama: High-Speed Rail System Needed.
I’m a huge fan of high-speed rail in America. We’re so far behind other countries in modernizing our transportation infrastructure but we also need to modernize our attitude towards rail. In countries like China, France, England, and Japan this is a no-brainer. Since most Americans don’t even possess a passport or desire to look abroad (no partying in Cabo doesn’t count) selling upgrades to our dilapidated rail system is an uphill battle. I’m down for the challenge because the alternative is more clogged highways and subsidized airlines that are neither efficient transportation nor environmentally sustainable means of transportation.
President Barack Obama asked for a re-examination of the blanket ban and supports the decision to change it,
