I don't disagree with anything you have said. I just don't think free I-pods are the fix. It is a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. I would rather see them give the kids money for good grades.

Feds push for tracking cell phones

Quote:

the Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in their--or at least their cell phones'--whereabouts. U.S. Department of Justice lawyers say that "a customer's Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records" that show where a mobile device placed and received calls.

As long as they're not tracking calls to foreign terrorists, I guess it's OK.

Yea, where is the liberal outcry? I thought this was a big deal.

It's mentioned in the article.

Fun pie chart there, Pie.

Here is a take on your Obama Cabinetmember at work. I figure Olberman's part of the Obamanation.

Lies, Lies, and more Kabuki Theater from Obamy.

Today the jobless rate was estimated at 9.6%, that totally biased news program, NPR, stated they continue to underestimate and not count those who have stopped looking (they interviewed a number of these people) and those who are in part time jobs because that is all they can get. The estimate actually is around 16%, btw, 36,000 more people lost their jobs last month...

The unemployment rate announced today is the "official" rate that has been used for years....the U3 rate.

It considers three factors: 1) those who were not employed during the reference period, 2) those who were available for work at that time and 3) they made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the reference period.

The U6 rate, which is reported as well, has never been the "official" rate, but for political reasons, those on the right want to start using that rate now. What a surprise.

So now its "lies, lies and kabuki theater" to use the same official rate as previous administrations?

There's a partisan opinion if I ever heard one.

This bears repeating. While the U6 is more honest, the U3 is what they report and should be used to keep references apples to apples.

In Merc's case, it's bukkake theater.

Tell it to the newly 36,000 unemployed last month.

Oh, so funny right? Where are the jobs?
