RAW correspondant Ron Rosenbaum on why we shouldn’t be paranoid, yet should be very wary of National Security Presidential Directive 51, a poorly defined contingency plan to retain a Constitutional government in the aftermath of an undetermined disaster.

I propose that the only way to regain our corrupt government is to GO ON STRIKE. Necessary positions such as fire, police and medical could still work but the rest of us should just stay home. We can survive a month or two at home if we stick together. People brag how they would be [...]

Freedom’s on the march (everywhere but here, evidently):
A Republican filibuster in the Senate today shot down a bipartisan effort to restore the right of terrorism suspects to contest their detentions and treatment in federal courts, underscoring the Democratic-led Congress’s difficulty with terrorism issues.

My sister and brother-in-law both work at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina (alma mater of Tony Snow, but other than that a great school). A group of students there have organized a trip down to Jena, Louisiana to join the mass protest in support of the Jena 6, which is taking place tomorrow.

Does Cheney have to shoot Chuck Schumer in the face on the floor of the Senate, while telling him to go fuck himself, before the Dems realize that BushCo will never willingly cooperate with a Democratic majority in Congress?
