This is a story about the NSA's spying program, which scans all your e-mails and almost certainly all your phone calls.

4th Amendment? What's that? After all, GW did say "the constitution is just a piece of paper".

The feds no longer have any respect for your privacy, the constitution, or anything else that gets in their way in their quest to continue our imperialist empire.

After long and careful thought, I've come up with the following solutions to all of our problems. I'm going to take a few suggestions from you all before I make this final, and send them to His Holiness, Barak H. Obama.

1. Energy: This one is difficult; but the technology is there. First, we clone the dinosaurs. We can do this with fossils of course. When adequate numbers are reached, we begin to kill them, bury them and drive over them with heavy machines. Then use the machines to dig up the coal, oil, gas and diamonds we created.

2. The economy: This one is really pretty easy. Pass a law saying we can all write ourselves a check for $100,000.00 and the banks must allow them to clear. That way we cut out the middleman (the government) and stimulate the economy.

3. Illegal immigration: all US citizens will conspire to pick up and move to Mexico on an agreed upon date. We will take everything with us and leave the land to the illegals. Since there is probably nobody left in Mexico, we'd then have our entire country there and they'd be up here. THEN we build the wall.

4. Global warming: after we have unlimited coal and oil from #1, we can build huge air conditioners to counter the effects of global warming (assuming global warming is even a reality).

5. Bad hair cuts: develop a helmet that has a small hole for each hair on your head. After you get the perfect hair cut, you place the helmet on and by use of a vacuum, it pulls each hair into a hole and measures it with a laser. Blades can then follow the measurements to cut the hair the exact same way next time. And in the not too distant future, RFID tags could be embedded in each hair. Their locations in relation to each other could be transmitted, and the machine could manipulate them to any style you select.

6. Office security: I have decided that a considerable amount of time could be saved if we combined our paper shredder with our printer. The printer would feed the paper directly into the shredder, thereby guaranteeing no chance of compromising company secrets. You don't REALLY need those TPS reports, do you?

7. High prices of health care and gasoline: As with #2, pass a law saying gas is $1.00 per gallon and health care is free. I'm really not sure why this hasn't been done yet, it seems obvious.

8. PETA: Yes I have a plan to get rid of PETA. First infiltrate them, then convince them that leather is a much more insidious abuse of animals than fur or meat. Then set up a rally for them. At the same time, infiltrate the outlaws, hells angels, mongols (what's left of them anyway), booze fighters, galloping gooses and any other MC you can think of and convince them that PETA wants their leather. Arrange a meeting.

OK throw some more problems at me so I can come up with solutions to them as well.

This is the perfect example of a litigious society gone mad.

A coach is hitting pop flies to the kids to teach them to catch (I guess) and one gets hit in the head.

SO THE FAMILY SUES THE COACH because he was negligent. The sun was in the kid's eyes. See the coach should have turned the dimmer switch on the sun I guess.

It's a long read, but worth it if you have any interest in how severe great depression II is going to get. Months ago I said we are headed for it, a few months ago I called the beginning of it. I'm just an arm chair economist, this guy is the real deal.

He recently dumped ALL his shares of Ford Motor Company. This is huge. At one point he had over a billion invested in Ford (ticker: F, NYSE).

Among his predictions:

The value of the dollar will drop 60% within a year due to hyper inflation.

The dow will drop to 4,000 next year

The car culture / urban sprawl way of life will be dead very soon - the middle class will no longer be able to afford to drive.

Hyper consumption is over, and credit will be nearly impossible for anyone to get in the forseeable future. "The days of using your house as an ATM are OVER".

Infrastructure collapsing due to lack of money.

And many many more....

As a card carrying ACLU member, I have collected these 10 commandments from one of their videos. I'm not a lawyer, and this is all written to the best of my memory, so it may not all be 100% accurate, but it will give you some guidelines on how to handle a traffic stop so that the stop will be minimally invasive.  You have 4th amendment rights (and others), USE THEM.

********************

1. Ask early and often, "Am I being detained, or am I free to go?". The U.S. Supreme court has ruled that once the initial traffic stop is completed, and you receive a ticket, you are under no further obligation to discuss ANYTHING with the officer. Many times the officer will even tell you this, then begin questioning you. Your answers WILL be held against you in court because you offered them voluntarily. If you ask this question, and the answer is, "you're free to go", turn around and walk away / drive off without further comment.

2. If you are asked any intrusive questions, that appear to be phrased in such a way as to get you to imply consent to search, say, "I don't consent to any searches, officer". This makes it clear you don't agree with any search, either implicitly or explicitly.

3. When pulled over, only roll your window down as far as necessary to communicate with the officer, unless he asks you to roll it down all the way of course. This prevents him from sticking his entire head in your vehicle and nosing around.

4. Keep everything out of plain sight. If there is nothing at all in plain sight in your vehicle, no smell of alcohol or drugs, etc. then there is probably no probable cause for a search.

5. Allow the driver to do ALL the talking. Don't offer any more information than is absolutely necessary to answer the question. "Yes", "no", and "I don't know" are perfectly acceptable answers. If in doubt about your rights, ask the officer if you are required to answer a question, and if you are allowed to consult legal counsel before doing so. Always remember that the cops are not your attorney, nor are they on your side. Their job is to find you doing something wrong. Don't believe promises that your life will be made easier if you just go along with them.

6. Know that often, law enforcement will delay arresting you to avoid reading you your rights. If they see something, they may continue to ask questions rather than arrest you immediately. This is another good time to ask, "Am I being detained, or am I free to go?".

7. Remember that attitude is 90% of any situation. Politeness goes a long way. Conversely, if you seem nervous or rattled, law enforcement will sense it and will push as hard as they can to find something to pin on you. Never argue, and certainly never resist with force. Resist the urge to smart off. Save your arguments for the judge, as difficult as that may be.

8. Answer questions, but follow up with a question, such as the ones listed above.

9. If you are stopped, and asked to step out of your vehicle, roll up your windows and lock the doors behind you. This makes it clear that you are not inviting any officer into your car by default. It makes searches much more difficult to defend in court.

10. Don't do anything illegal to begin with. Use the above tactics to avoid harassment, and to strengthen our legal system. It will cause law enforcement to respect our rights, and be much more careful when violating our privacy.

And I'll probably add one more. If a cop tells you to confess having something (drugs) in your car under the threat of getting a k9 to respond, DON'T. Make him bring the K9. I've personally seen them miss some pretty obvious finds.

Not only that, but it's not difficult to get a dog to false alert. Barry cooper recommends spraying the outside of your vehicle with fox urine (available at bass pro or cabelas). It distracts the dogs.

Oh and BTW, coffee grounds do NOT work. Nothing does. Dogs smell differently than people, and they can pick individual odors out. Eventually the smell of drugs will permeate any material, so don't count on it.

For more info - google Barry Cooper never get busted again.

One last tidbit - recently the Supreme Court made another ruling. Passengers in vehicles MAY challenge the legality of searches and seizures of the vehicle. Just another thing to keep in mind.

He calls it "lipodiesel".

It seems he's been using the fat from his patients' liposuctions to make bio-diesel and power his two vehicles.

The feds aren't real happy with him though.

My prediction is yes. I believe we're going to suffer the same fate as the former Soviet Union. Of course the exact scenario is unknown, and it will happen differently, but there will be parallels. Before the economic crises, I figured the collapse would be 20-30 years out. Now, I'm thinking it could happen in 3 -5.

It appears I'm not the only person thinking this

That the US will fall apart is a certainty. All empires do. It's just a question of when, not if.

Yes I know it's cliche to scream police brutality. Some suspects deserve the beating (or tasering) they get. Then there are the others.

I know for a fact police routinely abuse their powers. I know they antagonize suspects to get them to do something that would justify a beat down. I have personally been taunted by them (and settled a lawsuit over it, was never charged with any crime, so don't start in on me about "You must have done something"). I didn't fall for their antagonism, but I'm sure many people do. Many police have a God complex and if you so much as look at them cross eyed you can count on being yanked out of your vehicle and beaten (or tased).

4 out of 5 ER physicians agree: Police do use excessive force: (That of course is a parody of the trident commercial; the percentage is actually much higher)

I was raised by an ER doc and an ER nurse who both worked at an inner city hospital. This isn't a headline to me.

(Modern version)

Lacy things -- the wife is missin',
Didn't ask -- her permission,
I'm wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the store -- there's a teddy,
Little straps -- like spaghetti,
It holds me so tight,
Like handcuffs at night,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the office there's a guy named Melvin, He pretends that I am Murphy Brown.
He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say,"Whoa, Man!" "Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"

Later on, if you wanna,
We can dress -- like Madonna,
Put on some eyeshade,
And join the parade,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

Lacy things... missin',
Didn't ask... permission,
Wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

FINALLY THE FEDS DO SOMETHING RIGHT

they FINALLY clamped down on all the deceptive practices - and outright fraud and lies - by credit card companies.

I have been saying these practices are fraudulent, misleading, deceptive, and worse than mob-style loan sharking for quite some time.

It's about time these credit card companies be held accountable for their loan sharking.

Kudos to federal regulators on this one.

Screw those loan sharks... .it's going to cost them. $10 bn a year in ill-gotten gains. I hope it hurts them. They deserve it after all the people they've enslaved over the years.

Ok time to go on the offensive. The faithful have been irritated with me for attacking their superstition (except wingman, I don't think he gets mad, he just waits for me to wake up somewhere face down in a ditch smelling like latex, whiskey and cheap perfume. Then he can try to convert me before the hangover wears off. BTW where were you this morning man? Dang it was cold).

Anyway... I will now enlighten my readers with WHY they can never  KNOW the TRUTH.

You can't KNOW the truth. You can only BE the truth.For starters, if you assume that the world had to come from somewhere, it's a never ending proposition. The second you decide we HAD to come from somewhere, you're on the wrong track. Because by using this logic, you assume EVERYTHING had to come from SOMETHING. But all you do it take it up one notch further and say God didn't come from anything, instead of the universe not coming from anything. So either way you're stuck with SOMETHING that has always existed.

So you decide you want to "know" the truth. You set out on a mission to document and quantify life on earth. But at some point you become part of the expirament. Your own thoughts and interpretations taint the observations. For example, you can't see an electron because electrons are what make up the light you see. It's zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Things just are. There is no why. You can only BE. Eternity is not in the future, it's NOW. The present is the only eternal. Anything else is a creation of your imagination.

And "why" is just karma, and it never ends. The problem with Western thought in general is that it's linear. It seeks to find a beginning and an end. But there never is one. We know the universe is expanding. That means at some point it will probably begin contracting due to entropy. When it does, I suspect it will eventually be a singularity again, and then explode, and start all over again. All things in life are cyclical. Western thought is also always looking for absolutes. Newton thought it had to be time; Einstein spanked him on that one and replaced it with the speed of light.. Why are there no laws anymore? Because all of life is based on probabilities not laws. There are no laws, except the speed of light, assuming that one holds out. As it turns out, even Einstein had to concede (much to has chagrin) that God DOES in fact play dice with the universe.

When you get right down to it. the truth is like an onion. You peel off layer after layer, crying as you go... looking and looking, but when you get to the core, there is nothing there. And there never will be, because the tuth only exists within know parameters, and you are the one establishing the parameters.

Nothingness is the truth. God is empty. The only useful part of any vessel is the empty part, right? Existence is suffering. Non existence means becoming one with the universe. No deficits, no excesses, only the middle road.

Now, go in peace, and suffer no more. In the name of the tea, the pot, and the steaming tea bag, amen.

OK it's cliche, but I have to ask, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?"

We hear this rhetorical retort often, but I'd like to make my case for it.

First we have to decide what type of angels we're talking about. If we're talking about the LA Angels baseball team, I'd have to say ZERO. These guys are way to big, unless this is a really, REALLY big pin. That's easily proven.

What if we're talking about the Hells Angels? Again, I say ZERO. Besides I really doubt they can dance at all. Trying to imagine any MC doing the jitterbug is really a stretch.

But what if we consider Charlie's Angels? Now I'm sure THEY could dance, and I wouldn't mind watching either. In order to see if even one could REALLY fit on the head of a pin, minimal clothing would be required. In fact just make them naked. Now what type of dance should we have them do? Ok Ok ok... back to the question.

What about the Guardian Angels? You know those guys in the red berets with the walkie talkies that stand around subway entrances? I doubt they dance either.

Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking the angels are those freaky winged unisex kids with wings and trumpets, usually made out of porcelain and found in old ladies' front yards. If that's the case, YOU tell ME how many can dance on the head of a pin.

So... give me your theories, and back it up with evidence.

When fascism comes, it'll be wrapped in the flag and carrying a bible.

Video:

Well it's now one step closer.

As an ex-infantryman myself, I know what the two purposes of the US Army infantry are: 1) Kill people, 2) break things.

But now we have an entire infantry brigade with combat experience being deployed within our own borders for "horrific situations".

What type of situation could be so "horrific" that it would warrant a brigade of infantry troops inside the US?

Someone somewhere in a position of power is getting scared. Very scared.

I'm going to continue my series of posts on religion since they seem to be so popular. Arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin is sometimes an amusing distraction.

This is a quote from Richard Dawkins that I think is a good summation of the subject:

"If you live in America, the chances are good that your next door neighbors believe the following: the inventor of the laws of physics and the programmer of the DNA code decided to enter the uterus of a Jewish virgin, get himself born, then deliberately had himself tortured and executed because he couldn't think of a better way to forgive the theft of an apple, committed at the instigation of a talking snake. As creator of the majestically expanding universe, he not only understands relativistic gravity and quantum mechanics but actually designed them. yet what he really cares about is "sin" abortion, how often you go to church, and whether gay people should marry..."

"...In other parts of the world, there is a good chance your neighbors believe you should be beheaded if you draw a cartoon of a desert warlord who copulated with a child and flew into the sky on a winged horse. In other places, there's a good chance your neighbors think their wishes will be granted if they pray to a human figure with an elephant's trunk..."

What say you?
