Portuguese police will be lax on pot smokers during the Euro tournament because they’re a placid bunch. I wonder if they will be providing additional protection in pizza restaurants, convenience stores and ice-cream stands to avoid a munchies-stricken stampede.
Your tax dollars at work: Pentagon wastes $100M in unused, *refundable* but not refunded airline tickets.
Your tax dollars at work: Pentagon wastes $100M in unused, *refundable* but not refunded airline tickets. Looks like the legacy of the $600 toilet seat lives on, albeit in slightly different form. Why wouldn’t you even bother to try and get a refund for those?
Do you believe that incidence of terrorism decreased in 2003? Think again.
Do you believe that incidence of terrorism decreased in 2003? Think again. It certainly looks like the Administration put forward a report of the situation which simply wasn’t supported by facts. Enough of this faith-based, politicized analysis already.

George W. Bush, the flip-flopper-in-chief.
George W. Bush, the flip-flopper-in-chief. The man changes his mind more often than he changes shirts! Personally I find it funny that the man who claimed that the US Army “shouldn’t be involved in nation-building” accuses John Kerry of wavering on the issues, but then I don’t work for Fox News.
John Dean’s FindLaw column on President Bush’s decision to talk to a lawyer about the Valerie Plame case.
John Dean’s FindLaw column on President Bush’s decision to talk to a lawyer about the Valerie Plame case. Things are not likely to be as innocuous as the White House would like to have you believe. Does the President think he might be “fingered” in the investigation?
Is George W. Bush coming apart at the seams?
