giving some credit where credit is due

Let us give a Monday morning shout-out to the Honorable Representative from the 2nd Congressional District Peter Hoekstra for not only writing a strongly worded letter (pdf) to G.W.B. regarding his misgivings of the Hayden nomination, but for going on Fox News Sunday and accusing the administration of breaking the law by not fulling revealing to Congress intelligence activities. Hoekstra has long been a defender of the administration in regards to the NSA eavesdropping and the financial tracking which means there is something else out there that has got his knickers in a twist. I don't care if it's ego that made him publicly admonish G.W.B. I care that the head of the House Intelligence Committee (R) is jumping on the SCOTUS bandwagon by telling the president that terrorism is not a justifiable excuse for raping the Constitution. Too bad it took 6 years, a couple of wars, some civil liberties being trounced upon, not adhering to the Geneva Conventions...


Given my recent realization that I'm no longer willing to play nice with the party, this little piece from NOO Journal was interesting:

Are You a Reasonable Member of the Electorate?

I scored a 1.

Guess which one got me.
