The arm of the law has an unlimited reach. They can do with us anything they want. Today State has an absolute power. Basta Yet I watch the former shah's son of Iran today on Cspan right after mish and he says we need to bring human rights to the world, and free societies and things will get better - better educated and more connected citizens will make things goodla. No need for lazy bush nephew types to use thugs with guns to hurt his brothers. And Iran callers say they watching cspan on illegal satellites thier crazy gubbment cant stop and learning new views about the world - there is hope. He won't. City slickers will take it for free like German town folks did in 1923. Riding parties. Well before the world implodes and gold is the only way I can buy a hamburger off of the clown ronald mcdonald - maybe we get enough global citizens educated and active enough to make some good change in how gubbments and socities exist today. Lets see how Bernanke and Wall Street mafia are gone solve this conundrum and save us from starvation. I would love to know where Bernanke eats dinner on the weekends - see if that cold hard demeanor is broken with more and more stress piled on his plate - will he blow up one day like cheney and say FU to a colleague in gubbment? I have to hand it to Greenspan - RON PAUL tried HARD to get a rise out of that boy - and you couldn't break him! Kaiser Soze got nothing on Alan - he was slick - even Clinton lost it emotionally when he said "never had sex with that woman - not once - NEVER!" Bush is way too emotional.

"Club Homeland Detention: Halliburton, the first corporation into Iraq, contractually speaking, and the biggest financial winner in the "reconstruction" sweepstakes for that deconstructed country, fortuitously also found itself perched right atop the list of post-Katrina New Orleans reconstruction contractors. Now, through its subsidiary KBR, known for building military bases to last, as well as Guantanamo's infamous "cages," Halliburton gets a shot at the real American thing -- actual emergency detention centers for "immigrants" -- or, hey, in a crisis, for whomever. The Army Corps of Engineers awarded it a contract last month -- t! hough the story only oozed out this week -- worth up to $385 million (not including the near-obligatory overcharges) for, according to the New York Times, "an unexpected influx of immigrants, to house people in the event of a natural disaster or for new programs that require additional detention space." It's those "new programs" that give special pause."
