The only politician I don't hate is running for President. But please realize, we still don't encourage voting at Bureaucrash...

The news is good — for once. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), the libertarian congressman whose dedication to principle is one of the wonders of the world, is running for the GOP presidential nomination (hat tip: Lew Rockwell).

For the first time EVER, I will be revealing my true identity...  read more »

Barry Cooper, once considered the top drug enforcement officer in West Texas, is now publishing a video on how to avoid getting caught by police who are looking for illegal substances.

He also said that he believes marijuana should be legalized, because imprisonment of those caught with marijuana destroys families and puts non-violent citizens behind bars.

When I was raiding houses and destroying families, my conscience was telling me it was wrong, but my need for power, fame and peer acceptance overshadowed my good conscience.

15:44 < joshin> I like some of the Libertarian ideas but think that as a whole, their viewpoint is inherently immature and poorly thought out.
15:44 < rushfan> joshin: And our government is well thought out?
15:44 < joshin> rushfan: better than most
15:44 < rushfan> ...
15:45 < rushfan> We have such massive debt that we'll never be able to pay it off. People work until May just to pay off their taxes, and we tell people they have freedom but then censor the radio and lock people up in secret jails?
15:45 < rushfan> And we have a well thought out government? Bullshit

After being given a ticket for jaywalking, when there was no traffic, Tim Carr and Shaun Selvage have been photographing police officers and other government officials jaywalking at the same spot. The police have even threatened them with the Homeland Security Act in  an effort to thwart their attempts to have justice.

The Government Totally Sucks, by Tenacious D, from their new movie "Pick of Destiny."

The government totally sucks, you mother fucker
The government totally sucks
Ben Franklin was a rebel indeed
He liked to get naked while he smoked on the weed
He was a genius, but if he was here today
The government would fuck him up his righteous a 

Even though nobody said I could do it... I did it. I went 30 days without the internet, and now I'm back.

As part of an experiment I will be disconnecting my computer for the world of internet very soon to see how long I can survive without it. Wish me luck and farewell for now.

Forget the Do-Not-Call-List, the best way to get a telemarketer is with some good humor.

I'm so mad I'm venting on here. I bought an ipod two weeks ago, and today the battery decided to have a melt down on me. It won't turn on and the thing wreaks of battery acid. Fucking Apple and their shit products.

It appears the folks at World Can't Wait! are trying to get students to walk out of high school tommorow to protest the Bush regime. They even say "Stay in school if you like Bush."

As much as I hate Bush I'd love to hit these people over the head with a frying pan. One thing I will never do is try to convince impressionable young minds to get their asses in hot water for some protest I'm trying to organize.

I mean, forcing kids to go to school is bullshit, but that doesn't mean getting yourself suspended and grounded by your parents is a good idea. There really are better ways to express yourself. 

Also, the folks at World Can't Wait! are extremely unoriginal in their thought, and use the same cliches that hippies have been using for 40 years to try and persuade people. I doubt they'll achieve anything at all with such lame tactics.

Though I do hate Bush... 

So my parents did their tax return, but it got to be too complex so they had an accountant do it for them. It turned out that they owed more money, so they sent the IRS a check for the amount.

Not long after, they got a check from the IRS for that same amount. So my dad's accountant told him to hold onto it. After a few weeks, he said to just cash and see what happens.

After my dad cashed the check, he got a notice from the IRS that he owed them that amount PLUS interest.

Gotta love those IRS boobs. 

NICKEL MINES, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A gunman killed six people at a one-room Amish schoolhouse Monday morning in Pennsylvania's bucolic Lancaster County, and several others were taken to hospitals with injuries, authorities said.

"So far, six confirmed dead, and the helicopters are pulling into (Lancaster General Hospital) like crazy," Coroner G. Gary Kirchner said.

It was unclear if the shooter was among the six. State Police Cpl. Ralph Striebig said earlier that the shooter was dead. (Watch helicopter video from the scene of the shooting -- 1:00 )

Three girls, all in critical condition with gunshot wounds, were admitted to Lancaster General Hospital, spokesman John Lines told WGAL-TV.

PARADISE, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- A 32-year-old truck driver walked into an Amish schoolhouse Monday, binding and shooting three girls execution-style before killing himself, police said Monday.

Seven other girls were wounded in the attack, which police said appeared to be a revenge killing for an incident that occurred two decades ago.

"It seems as though he wanted to attack young female victims, and this is close to his residence. That's the only reason we can figure that he went to the school," said Comm. Jeffrey Miller, Pennsylvania State Police.

Teensploitation has a brand new podcrash series, and the first episode is out today. Hopefully these will make it easier for busy students to catch up on what we're all about, what we're up to, and what's in the news.

Like everything else by Teensploitation, this podcrash is recorded and produced by teenagers.

Have a listen and please subscribe to our feed!

In this episode we discuss issues on the Teensploitation agenda for the upcoming school year. It's a short one, so if you're interested in Teensploitation, have a listen and see what we're up to.

A 16 year old girl in El Paso could face up to 40 years in jail for trying to smuggle cocaine into the US.

"Our correctional system is so imperfect," said Cristina Cruz-Grost, a child psychiatrist and forensic expert. "We need to come together to educate and rehabilitate people who go through the system. É To place a 16-year-old in the correctional department of Texas with up to a 40-year sentence erases the potential for rehabilitation and destroys her life."

She allegedly caught trying to smuggle 50lbs of cocaine worth from $280,000 to $700,000. Let me teach the government a lesson. The reason it's worth so much is because of the risks associated with smuggling it - risks that they create. 

In a stunning turn of events, the NYC Police Department has reversed its previous decision to deny us a permit to march near the United Nations on Sept. 19th.

Maybe I'm just daft, but I really think something is wrong when we have press releases that the governmen will be allowing free speech. I wonder if they're going to wind up being stuck in a "free speech zone."

It's been awhile, but I'm back with another freedom tune. Today's tune if The Prisoner - Iron Maiden.

I don't agree with the contents of the entire song, however there are certainly parts which could be taken to symbolize being held prisoner by our government.

I'm not a prisoner, I'm a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Don't care where the past was,
I know where I'm going...out.

I'm not a number, I'm a free man,
I'll live my life how i want to.
You'd better scratch me
from your black book,
'Cause I'll run rings around you.

Today I was at the mall and I purchased a bottle of coke for $1.25 from a vending machine, and it was room temperature.

God, it's those bloody capitalist thieves ripping us off again! Well, instead of senselessly blaming Coke for being evil, I called to inform them about the problem.

They were very apologetic, filed a case report so they machine could be corrected, and are sending me a coupon for a free 2 liter bottle of coke.

Now what do you think FEMA would say if you called them to complain about their disorganized method of dealing with Hurricane Katrina? 

Thats the only way I can describe it. I built my computer once, found out I had a dead MOBO when there was no activity, took it apart, and send the motherboard back.

I got my new one today, built it, and this time it seemed to work fine since I had a display and it recognized my hardware. After connecting my keyboard however, it ceased to work and at this point I noticed a CMOS checksum error.

I tried resetting the CMOS but that didn't work. There is a 99.9% chance I'm going to have to send this one back too. Damn it. 

I would like to warn all crashers that I have official discovered two truly evil sites. There is no doubt in my mind that these secretive attempts to brainwash people are the work of the NWO. View both of them here, but be warned. They are the most horrifying sites ever!

Conrad Burns said, "I am glad I've been able to secure this field hearing for Montana," referring to the critical Farm Bill hearing. He soon dozed off.

Do you guys think I should have my dog put "to sleep?" I mean, I hate to sound mean - I love the dog - but I just think it's time for her to go.

Two weeks ago she had a stroke, but seemed to recovery from it. Now she's getting much worse. She can hardly walk at all anymore - just going a few feet is extremely strenuous for her.

I have to carry her outside, so she can go to the bathroom, and if I'm lucky she'll be able to walk back inside. I have to carry her into her chair, bring her food and water to her, etc. etc.

Nature only intended for animals to live so long and there is a point when just because an animal is alive doesn't mean it should be alive. She also seems to be in a-lot of pain - probably because she has arthritis. What do you guys think?

The trouble is my mom loves the dog dearly and simply won't let go. She insists that the dog is fine - obviously the dog is not fine since she can't even walk 99% of the time. I cannot get her to understand that there's a point when you have to let go.

Frankly I would miss the dog, but I wouldn't be too upset if she was gone just because she lived a normal life span and now it's just her time to go. What can you do about it, you know? Animals don't live forever.

Schools in Boston have banned hoodies claiming that students use them to hide their faces from security cameras after doing something wrong.

While we're at it, we should force all students to wear clogs to prevent them from fleeing the police.

A seventeen year olds life is all but ruined, and tax payers will have to pay $100,000 to keep him in jail for two years, all over $250 of pot.

I'd like everyone to extend a warm welcome to Crasher Rasher. He's in high school and actually lives in Ireland. I don't think we have any crashers there currently - especially high school crashers.

Did you know that in Ireland public schools force students to wear uniforms and the government has a big say in the private schools too? I think that's bullshit.

What do you say folks? I think Rasher should get involved here at Bureaucrash so he can remind the folks in Ireland what freedom is all about. 

Summer is almost over (school starts the 28th) and I just realized that I've gone to bed at 10:00 almost every night this summer because I had to be up so early. The latest I've stayed up until is like midnight. So I've decided to pull an all nighter tonight. Let's see how long I last. :D

Today I picked Resist, by Rush.

I can learn to resist
Anything but frustration
I can learn to persist
With anything but aiming low

I can learn to close my eyes
To anything but injustice
I can learn to get along
With all the things I don't know
