This link will lead to an explanation of the history of the speech or debate clause. This is the law that is protecting William Jefferson right now and the reason all of these creeps are shaking in their boots at the thought of their offices being searched.

Gonzales Said He Would Quit in Raid Dispute

WASHINGTON, May 26 — Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, the F.B.I. director, Robert S. Mueller III, and senior officials and career prosecutors at the Justice Department told associates this week that they were prepared to quit if the White House directed them to relinquish evidence seized in a bitterly disputed search of a House member's office, government officials said Friday.

Mr. Gonzales was joined in raising the possibility of resignation by the deputy attorney general, Paul J. McNulty, the officials said. Mr. Gonzales and Mr. McNulty told associates that they had an obligation to protect evidence in a criminal case and would be unwilling to carry out any White House order to return the material to Congress

Prosecutors are investigating a journalist for publishing an article mocking President Vladimir Putin over his call to pay Russian women to have more children, an official said Wednesday.

The article was published by Vladimir Rakhmankov, editor of the online newspaper Kursiv in the central city of Ivanovo, said Andrei Galchenko of the regional prosecutor's office.

The piece poked fun at Putin's recent state of the nation address that called for economic incentives to boost the country's plummeting birth rate. Russian media reported that the publication suggested that animals at a local zoo increased their mating, heeding Putin's call.

Rakhmankov could not be reached for comment Wednesday. His article could not be seen, because the Web site has been shut down.

Galchenko said the investigation was launched because the article "contained phrases of an insulting nature aimed at the president."

If convicted of insulting a representative of the authorities, Rakhmankov faces up to 12 months of corrective labor or a fine, Galchenko said.

 

 

Ok this one is for the Dixie Chicks and anybody else that swears they are being censored by a vast right wing conspiracy.   Since you don’t seem to know what censorship is then here you go. This is government censorship. They made fun of the President of Russia and now their website is no more and they may get “12 months of corrective labor” that is the a Ruski code word for a Gulag girls.

 

See when people will not play your records on the radio because they get complaints all day or your old fans will not buy your records because they don’t like you anymore,  that is what we call choice. I know you think “Choice” and to you that means killing your baby but that is also has other meanings. But on second thought it does mean an abortion. In this case you made the choice and it killed your career.

 
How do the French say it? Cest la vie.   

 

So this is the bottom line in this country you can make fun of the president call him Hitler and stupid, drawing him as a chimp or some other animal or lower form of life and it is all ok but if you are an artist that is dependent on public approval then you might want to put your money before you need to speak truth to power because the truth is no body owes you anything and in fact it is your fans that you owe every thing too.  Not that I am a superstar like you but some common business sense might benefit you and the poor schleps that are dependent on you for income. You know the other people behind the scenes. At the rate you are going you are going to wind up owing the record company for your tour and from what I understand your old deal made you no money and this record was the one where you were supposed to start making money for yourselves.    

 

 

 

Fake Joints in Mexico MEXICO CITY -- Demonstrators pretend to smoke fake marijuana cigarettes during a protest for the decriminalization of marijuana in La Alameda park, in this May 4, 2005  in Mexico City. Police and business owners from Mexico's beaches to border cities worried that a measure just passed to decriminalize possession of cocaine, heroin and other drugs could attract droves of tourists solely looking to get high.

 When will this women go away? She is the one that is worrying me. Here is the  anti -American propaganda she gave aljazeera.net  I am really suprized the head line isn't Jew Bitch says: Bush is alienating Muslims

 Talk about inflaming the Muslim world. How do you think they felt when they found out you are a Jew?  Does anyone remember when she let it be known that she was actually a Jew raised by Christians after the war? Do you remember that she suddenly found this out after she became Secretary of State?  

When the revelations about the new secretary of state's Jewish heritage began to surface, I for one was convinced -- as she and her friends insisted -- that she had no prior knowledge until a few years after becoming SOS, when a Washington Post reporter confronted her with the facts. Of course, it seemed a bit strange that she would have no idea that three of her grandparents were Jewish and that they and other family members had perished in the Holocaust.How do you think the Arabs took that one? Being an American I don't have a problem with that but  "da Mhulla do". And the Saudi's do that's for sure. They don't even let women drive there. If she was a Saudi women she would not even be seen with out a Male handler from her family. She is a women and a Jew I would bet that many of them refused to talk to her and it certainly could not have help our relations with Iran. 

 

 

This is what really kills me about this whole George Bush is dangerous because he says he is a Christian. It is very strange how we have a dyed  in the wool fundamentalist as the President of Iran, spouting off new threats against the United States Western Europe and our only friend in the region Israel every day. He is trying to build a nuclear weapon and talking just like a skinhead holocaust denier but yet Albright and company keep worrying about Bush.  This doesn’t make any sense and leads me to believe that this women and other people in the former administration are either unregistered agents of foreign governments like President Clinton was with the UAE or they are the biggest bunch of morons are have ever known.  You know if would be different if this was 1930 and no one had seen what comes from the appeasement of a fascist. What happens when a religious zealot takes over a country trying to get WMDs or what happens when a cult of Personality takes over a state and they arm them selves with Missiles.  But it is not 1930 and we have Iran and North Korea right in our face.  The very idea that these useful idiots would get hung up on Bush is hard to understand and makes one wonder what their agenda really is. This is history repeating it’s self in the worst possible way. I hope you will take the time to read up on the way that people like Lindbergh and Henry Ford were talking about Roosevelt before the war so you can get some context and wonder no more about their agenda and were it will take us.
