“Long’s lack of humility has probably done him no favors. At the time, U.S. Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), expressed dismay.

“When I hear about leaders of charities being provided a $300,000 Bentley to drive around in, my fear is that it’s the taxpayers who subsidize this charity who are really being taken for a ride,” he quipped.

In November, Grassley, who serves as ranking minority member on the Senate Finance Committee, ramped things up a bit. He announced that he is seeking detailed financial information from six mega-ministries, Long’s among them.”

Baby Jesus Fucking Christ it is about time! Oh, and some things that make you want to reconsider eugenics…

I hate that asking questions and demanding truth and transparency brands you a conspiracy theorist, but apparently there are a couple people in our armed forces who are ‘whatever slanderous thing you call people who simply want the truth’. Twenty-five of them, to be precise.

More traitors in the military giving aid to terrorists…you’re either with us or against us, the decider has spoken…

How about some traitors in our intelligence agencies? Toe the party line folks, we have an agenda to carry out here, everyone on the same page…

Fighting the man, Wesley Snipes style…

“Tax specialists and lawyers say that the Snipes case hinges on whether he can persuade jurors that he sincerely believed that he did not have to pay taxes, while prosecutors will argue that he was just trying to avoid them. The Supreme Court has ruled that people can make such an argument, but two leading defense lawyers said that Mr. Snipes might have a hard time using it as a defense.”

Odd, huh?

The man fighting you. Very unfortunately so. Liberty and justice for all? I’m more disgusted by this country by the moment.

“Jones was hired at age 19 to work for Halliburton in Houston, Texas, and the next year was sent to Iraq to work for Halliburton. She says that she was drugged and raped by numerous coworkers in Baghdad, and was then confined by Halliburton armed guards to a shipping container, denied food, water, or medical help.

Jones used a borrowed cell phone to contact her father, who in turn contacted Representative Ted Poe (R, TX) who contacted the State Department, which freed Jones from Halliburton’s shipping container. U.S. Army doctors performed an examination that discovered evidence of vaginal and anal rape, but the sexual assault kit disappeared after being turned over to Halliburton and was later recovered missing some pieces of evidence, including doctor’s notes and photographs of Jones’ bruises.”

What the hell is wrong with each and every one of the god damn douche bags involved in this crime heaped upon crime heaped upon crime???
