   A teacher in Connecticut faces up to 40 years in prison for exposing a seventh grade class to porn on the class  computer.

    Julie Amero is  a 40-year-old substitute teacher who claimed that the porn PopUps came from an infestation brought on by malicious software. That would be Adware, Spyware,worms and viruses,ect.

   On Jan. 5, 2007, Amero was found guilty of four felony counts of "injury or risk of injury to, or impairing morals of, children." Each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years . Alternet

    Go can go here for a look at how far the health care in Iraq has fallen since the United States attacked. No matter what the president tells you, health care was better under Hussein.

   In response to the presidents view on stem cell research as being 'murder' we have this from Senator Tom Harkin last year on the floor of the Senate:

So I ask, if using discarded embryos to extract stem cells is murder, isn't it then immoral to allow federal research on existing lines of embryonic stem cells as the current administration's policy permits? Murder is murder, Mr. President. [...]

And if it's really murder...why isn't the President using his authority, his moral authority, to shut down all the in-vitro fertilization clinics in America? By his definition of murder, these clinics are institutions of mass murder.

    I put this up just to remind you of what kind of a hypocrite we have up there in the White House.

     One more look at the Bush Administration here.

    It seems that the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) has asked comedian Rich Little not to make fun of Bush and not to mention Iraq.

   From Attytood:

    Little said organizers of the event made it clear they don't want a repeat of last year's controversial appearance by Stephen Colbert, whose searing satire of President Bush and the White House press corps fell flat and apparently touched too many nerves.

    "They got a lot of letters," Little said Tuesday. "I won't even mention the word 'Iraq.'"

    Little, who hasn't been to the White House since he was a favorite of the Reagan administration, said he'll stick with his usual schtick -- the impersonations of the past six presidents.

    "They don't want anyone knocking the president. He's really over the coals right now, and he's worried about his legacy," added Little, a longtime Las Vegas resident.

   I guess that free speech doesn't apply to you when you are in  "lord George's" presence.
