How ID implants work... 2:19:58 AM    comment [] Winning the War on Drugs Yes, we're turning the corner ... Drug WarRant has more. 2:17:32 AM    comment [] What kind of lunacy ... I criticized David Ignatius for his column on the SBV's, but I did like the opening paragraph of the piece: What a strange, out-of-sync country is America. Here we are fighting a real war in Iraq and our presidential campaign has been bogged down in a nasty debate about what did or didn't happen on a river patrol boat 35 years ago in Vietnam. 2:03:18 AM    comment [] Compare For the chairperson of their national convention, the DNC selected Alice Huffman, president of the California State Conference of the NAACP. The RNC, on the other hand, has selected David Norcross. Who is Mr. Norcross? At the same time that he has held this inside-the-party position with access to top government officials, he has also been lobbying the Bush administration on behalf of clients like Raytheon, the defense contractor. Mr. Norcross lobbied the Department of Defense, the Department of the Treasury, the Senate and the House, all on behalf of Raytheon, while he has been the chairman of the convention, according to records on file with the secretary of the Senate. [snip] And within that environment, Mr. Norcross works at the highest level as a lobbyist representing companies like Boeing and the biotechnology company 20/20 GeneSystems Inc., which is based in Rockville, Md. Mr. Norcross's employer, the Washington-based law firm Blank Rome and its lobbying subsidiary, highlights his party credential in Mr. Norcross's official biography posted on its Web site. I'm sure he's filled with compassion. 1:55:25 AM    comment []
