The Anth Zone

The United States Congress has recently passed legislation 227 – 183 to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The Bush Administration’s White House surprisingly has a massive power-hold over Congress regardless of the new Democratic thin majority over its voting power.

I’m disappointed that Congress has given America’s worst President since who the hell knows how long, more power to look over people’s shoulders. The passed amendment allows the Bush Administration to expand the government’s transparent abilities to eavesdrop on ‘foreign suspects of terrorism’ whose communication ‘passes’ through the United States’ jurisdiction.

I do want to commend Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for trying to push the vote back for voidance; unfortunately her tireless efforts went unheard. The United States seriously needs to clean up it’s act and take a step back from being the globe’s police force and worry about domestic policies that can make America a better place. A paradise that America’s founding father’s dreamt of.

It’s a rare appearance to discuss any level of sports here on The Anth Zone. I thought it’d be a nice thought to congratulate San Francisco Giant’s Left Fielder Barry Bond’s for reaching a career milestone in Major League Baseball with tying Hank Aaron’s 755 career home runs. At, The Anth Zone we will not discriminate against Mr. Bond’s for his illicit drug use. We congratulate you Barry.

I’m saddened about the ongoing hostage situation in Afghanistan. The Taliban are responsible for the kidnapping of twenty-three South Korean Christian humanitarians.

This week Taliban militants stepped out of the playing field by murdering two of their South Korean hostages. This is gruesome atrocity that has become a rampant nightmare throughout the Middle-East following President George W. Bush’s War on Terror that has caused a global catastrophe.

I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the families of the South Korean aid-workers.
