as soon as possible, all 27 EU members must ratify the Lisbon treaty, which creates the new job of a full-time EU president, so that small, incompetent countries like the Czech Republic no longer take turns to speak for Europe.

Secret copyright treaty
The Obama administration has refused to release the details of a secret copyright treaty because doing so would compromise “national security”. Plenty of people are cleared to be privy to this “sensitive” document — strangely, they all seem to work for giant copyright companies! What an embarrassment for an administration that holds itself out as an end to the corrupt, business-as-usual beltway fandango.
obama = disappointment. why make it so easy for the wingnuts to be right?
Prime Minister Competition
Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister is the competition of a lifetime. Young Canadians have the ears and eyes of the nation listening to their thoughts about what would make our country even better.
This will be way more popular than real policy. Fortunately, there won’t be consequences.
End of Farmers Markets?
kickbacks for big farming under the always popular safety fetish banner.
What this will do is force anyone who produces food of any kind, and then transports it to a different location for sale, to register with a new federal agency called the “Food Safety Administration.” Even growers who sell just fruit and/or vegetables at farmers markets would not only have to register, but they would be subject inspections by federal agents of their property and all records related to food production.
Remedial Financial Training
We need emergency remedial financial training for all these elected lawyers before they make the current mess much, much worse.
Stimulus Watch
StimulusWatch.org was built to help the administration keep its pledge to invest stimulus money smartly, and to hold public officials to account for the taxpayer money they spend.

Cheney Dunk Tank
The 44th White House Carnival was a rousing success, raising a record $800000066845 for the federal government—$800b of which came from a dunk tank featuring former vice president Dick Cheney. After being goaded by the former vice president for several minutes, Hunter reportedly struck the tank’s target on his 3rd turn, plunging Cheney into the pool below and eliciting wild cheers from the 150m people on hand.
Split US?
Mr. Panarin posits that mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar. The US will break into 6 pieces — with Alaska reverting to Russian control.
No separation of Church and State
In choosing evangelical pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration, President-elect Barack Obama is associating himself with one of the most popular religious figures in the nation, reaching out to conservative America and proving he’s willing to take some flak from the liberal flank of his party
WTF? why is there even a religious angle to the inauguration?
McCain Leak
Private information at bargain prices. It was a high-tech flub at the McCain-Palin campaign headquarters when Tisha Thompson bought a Blackberry device containing confidential campaign information.
ha. good thing those clowns were not elected. can you imagine technology policy by a bunch of ignoramuses that make such mistakes?
