A lot of things are flying fast and furious in the news lately. From the revelations that Condi Rice had another pre-9/11 warning to Florida congremen having cybersex with underage boys while in session to yet another school shooting, it's all-out mayhem in our country right now. Some links I found today:

• Billmon (who was supposed to go on hiatus) has a flashback and news items are starting to develop trails.
• It's statistically proven that the NSA warrantless wiretapping program is useless for catching terrorists. This means that there has to be another reason for it, then, doesn't it?
• A handy list of the recent list of Republican/conservative "family values" violators.
• VT congressional candidate Martha Rainville (R) got caught plagarizing off of the web sites of Democrats.
• And finally, The Poor Man reveals the IM logs he had with above-mentioned cybersexer Mark Foley (R-FL). It's all taken out of context, really. Check out this innocent excerpt:
