Have been working on a podcasting presentation, as well as a little freelance writing (I know, right?), so a slight delay on headlines. They are still pretty relevant to hear however. Especially since a few were hardly talked about at all in the media.

Show Length: 14 minutes.

*Oh that President Bush. They are still finding illegal skeletons in his illegal closet. Again, a call for accountability? Yeah, right.

*Mexico begins iris scans for identification.

*Those corporations, they sure like Republicans.

*Vermont wants to revoke the right of personhood to corporations. I can't believe you need to revoke something that is so obvious.

*The US vs. The UN. Or should I say, conservative US vs. the UN.

*Russia wants revenge for bombing.

*People are still able to buy guns at a gun show, even when the seller knows that the buyer might not pass a background check.

*If Rush Limbaugh can receive the "Defender of the Constitution" award, I guess Rumsfeld can too.

*Two examples of how NOT to celebrate MLK Day.

*DHS cracks down on copyright infringement. Since when is music and movies a matter of Homeland Security?

*Pew poll shows people generally know what's going on in politics. Sort of.

*FBI sting operation nets a terrorist suspect. So, then the Islamic Center where he worshipped occasionally is set on fire. Probably not by Muslims.

*No one knows how to cut spending. Everyone THINKS they know, however.

*Psst- there are gay people in the military! And no one cares!

*GOP disbands a committee on global warming. Meanwhile, this year is the third warmest on record.

I will stick in the links later, but wanted to get this uploaded and available!

Show Length: 15min. 27sec.

 

*Smoke 'em if you got 'em- Medical Marijuana passes in AZ

*Campaign spending at all time high (get it? HIGH.)

*You know what's more dangerous than crack, heroin AND marijuana? Alcohol. Roll that and smoke it.

*The media loves GW Bush and his new book. Michael Moore thinks they are smoking something.

*The CIA doesn't think destroying evidence showing torture is important. I have no smoking reference to add.

*The EPA wants Halliburton to show what chemicals they are putting in their drilling process.

*San Francisco wanted Happy Meals to be healthier, and the Mayor vetoed it because it didn't make any sense.

*Back to smoking. Cigarettes that is. New warning labels will be very interesting to look at.

*Social Security benefits age could be raised to the age of death, if this keeps up. Which I think is the point.

*Male conservative pundits. They rake in the most cash, AND are the most influential. All the ladies in the house say whaaa?

*Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal is not going to hurt any war efforts. War is still the thing that hurts the most people, no need to worry.

*Amnesty International wants GW Bush tried for that whole "Waterboarding is legal because my lawyer said so." thing. Yeah, because a President is going to want to start an accountability precedent? I don't think so.

*So, Gitmo is staying open. Honestly, if you're not going to end the war, how can you close it?

*the US was a safe haven to Nazi officials?

*Apparently the media thought the back and forth about whether climate change is real was more important than actually talking about climate science. Gee, this is surprising?

*Tea Partiers admit that yes, it could be about race.

*Appeals court strikes down AZ law requiring proof of citizenship to vote.
