  • 20090711-Concealing Project

    [Flynn’s Editorial: [snickering in the background] I find it difficult to believe that the CIA would operate secretly without notifying Congress. And for Nancy Pelosi to deny ever recalling if she knew about `waterboarding` is beyond incredible. As a result, Nancy Pelosi must be removed from office, not just for this allegation but for screwing up everything else behind the Democrats rise to majority power.]

  • 20090710-Secret Surveillance

    [Flynn’s Editorial: I suspect two Yahoo! Messenger users [`J@ck B!ll*` from Florida and `b*ss@sss!n`] fall under this  part of the `President’s Surveillance Program`. And this activity goes beyond the warrantless wiretapping and only a few `victims` are not disclosed as part of this program to the public for closer scrutiny.]

    WASHINGTON – The Bush administration built an unprecedented surveillance operation to pull in mountains of information far beyond the warrantless wiretapping previously acknowledged, a team of federal inspectors general reported Friday, questioning the legal basis for the effort but shielding almost all details on grounds they’re still too secret to reveal.

    [Flynn’s Editorial: I find it incredible how much media attention Sarah Palin has been getting ever since she was a Vice-Presidential pick to John McCain. All I know that, although she may not be politically correct in everything she may happen to say for the camera, she tells the truth, much to my chagrin, like Joe Biden is capable of doing, no matter the consequence, lately (again).]

    [Flynn’s Editorial: I would prefer Sotomayor NOT to be sworn in as the next Supreme Court Justice. I find Sotomayor fracturing her ankle a `warning` that she won’t serve the best interests of the American citizens via the U.S. Constitution. Then again I wonder if lower-level entities do attack the lower extremities of those who would do the work of `good`.]

    WASHINGTON – The White House says Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor has broken her ankle after an airport stumble in New York City.

    Sotomayor fractured her right ankle Monday morning at New York’s LaGuardia Airport before boarding a shuttle to Washington for an afternoon of meetings with senators.

    She’ll keep her six appointments on Capitol Hill Monday despite the injury, which has her walking with crutches, the White House said.

    The judge has kept up a busy schedule in Washington as the White House presses for her quick confirmation. She even stopped at the White House before heading to the hospital for an x-ray.

    [Flynn’s Editorial: IMO only please, the voters have spoken. Marriage is between a man and woman. A couple can make more babies this way. It allows the state to generate revenue on the future work forces via taxation.

    Love (in a spiritual sense) over-rules state mandated requirements for a gay or lesbian couple. Do not be dis-heartened folks. Just support each other the best you can without violence. It’s less confusing for everyone, really.]

    [Flynns’ Editorial: As per Maw and others who can access an individual just from intuition and keep observation, Sotomayor is nuts, from not combing her hair to screaming at her constituents. Y’all are nuts. Yes you are! (Get it?) Please find someone else. Thank you.]
