This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Watergate hearings. For those of you too young to remember, back then the administration had an enemies list. They were spying on reporters, and they used the IRS to harass groups they didn’t like. Thank God those days are gone forever.

A lot of critics are comparing President Obama to President Richard Nixon, which is unfair. Nixon’s unemployment rate was only 5 percent.

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) — As she flipped through the cemetery register, Mary Blakely's eyes filled with tears. On line after line, the entry read simply "Baby Boy" or "Baby Girl," followed by a surname and a burial date.

Like Blakely, many of those buried in this lonely section of Onslow Memorial Park known as "Babyland" were the children of Marines stationed down the road at Camp Lejeune. How many of these fellow "Devil Dog pups," she wondered, died because they or their pregnant mothers had swallowed or bathed in the base's toxic water?

"These are my peers," she cried as cars and trucks rushed by on busy U.S. 258 one recent blustery day. "I'm a Marine Corps brat. And this could be me."

The 49-year-old homemaker lived on the southeast North Carolina base during the 1960s and '70s — at a time when levels of certain cancer-causing chemicals were among the highest ever recorded in a public drinking water supply.

Federal health investigators have been studying the effects of those chemicals for two decades now. After numerous fits and starts, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hopes to issue a long-delayed study on birth defects and childhood cancers later this spring.

In mid-January, Blakely traveled to the agency's Atlanta headquarters, where she handed over two plastic tubs containing 2,500 death certificates.

It may be impossible to know how many — if any — of those deaths were due to the poison in Lejeune's water. But Blakely wanted to make sure that the occupants of this and other babylands would not be forgotten.

"Most of them would have grown up and become Marines," Blakely told the health officials gathered there, her voice trembling with emotion. "All we want is the truth."

President Obama "obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch," Chris Matthews said tonight.

Yes, you read that right: The MSNBC host who in 2008 felt a "thrill going up my leg" after hearing Obama speak has grown disenchanted. Tonight's episode of Hardball saw Matthews delivering a rare, unforgiving grilling of the president as severe as anything that might appear on Fox News.

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence must love Professor Fish, because they too have no line in the sand--including when the government rounds up members of "undesirable" races, religions, etc., for shipment to the camps. It would seem though, that like CSGV, Fish has a bigger problem than he realizes. It's not just "militant" NRA members who do have a line in the sand--it's 29% of the voting public--and that should be more than enough.

Capt. John Paul Jones may have served more than 200 years ago, but his letters reveal that the topics of his day can still resonate.

For example, Jones, as a founding father of the Navy, was quite vocal about the quality of leaders needed at the time.

“I am determined never to draw my sword under the command of any man, who was not in the Navy, as early as myself, unless he hath merited a preference by his Superior Services and abilities,” Jones writes in one of 11 letters housed at the Charleston Library Society in South Carolina.

The Phoenix Police Department kicked off three weekends of "Groceries for Guns" on Saturday. It's an opportunity for people to dispose of unwanted firearms and get a little something in return. Police told CBS 5 News more than 800 guns were dropped off at three different Phoenix locations in exchange for gift cards that can be used at Basha's, Food City and AJ's Fine Foods. Mayor Greg Stanton said Saturday's event, the largest gun buy-back in state history, was such a "massive success" there might not be enough gift cards left to hold two more events planned for May 11 and 18. Phoenix police said they handed out about $80,000 worth of gift cards Saturday.

Manifesto - Joke of the Day

Posted by dtwentytwenty (#11) 2 days ago (Editorial)
A French monk wrote a manifesto stating that every woman would agree to sell her body for money. The manifesto was read by the Queen of France and she invited the monk for a chat.
- So, you're stating that every women would agree to sell herself?
- Yes.
- Me too?
- Of course.
- And how much do you think I would cost?
- 500 francs.
- What?! Only 500 francs?!
- Here you go - you've already started to negotiate.

FTA " A healthcare provider has sued the Internal Revenue Service and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans.
The name of the provider is not yet known, United Press International said. But Courthouse News Service said the suit claims the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges.
The search warrant did not specify that the IRS could take medical information, UPI said. And information technology officials warned the IRS about the potential to violate medical privacy laws before agents executed the warrant, the complaint said, as reported by UPI.

The suit seeks $25,000 in compensatory damages, per violation. The records’ seizure could impact up to one in 25 Americans, UPI said."

These unnamed agents should have no immunity from personal liability in this matter...They should be fired and financially ruined. That is the only thing that will make their counterparts take notice.
