Silly paranoia? (Cue creepy music here.) Or key elements in "The Enemy's Secret Plan"? Both monsters do exist, I'd say, but are only about 2 ft. (0.6 m) tall, scared of the daylight and lacking particularly sharp claws. The FBI is looking at ACORN for a reason, and the phrase ballot suppression is not a term totally unheard of in GOP hallways. That said, both sides are by and large trying to do what is right, at least most of the time. New-voter registration is a good thing. Keeping a sharp eye out to prevent ballot fraud...
...numbers, there's a good chance you will turn to RealtyTrac, a company in Irvine, Calif., that, thanks to its nationwide network of records collectors, has emerged as a go-to source for foreclosure data. Congress calls RealtyTrac. So do Wall Street analysts. The U.S. Treasury, the FDIC, the FBI, a handful of Federal Reserve banks, a dozen states, even some of the lenders who made the loans being defaulted on--they all use the company's data. That means RealtyTrac, a firm that cleared just $40 million in revenue last year, winds up shaping much of the debate about...
...categories of individuals currently protected under federal hate-crime legislation. These crimes typically include bias-motivated violence and intimidation against individuals based on their sexual orientation, race or religion.

In 2006, the last year that FBI figures were available for hate-crime fatalities, three individuals in the protected classes were killed vs. 20 homeless individuals...
...Congress to pass two bills, sponsored by Texas Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, which would amend two hate-crime acts. The first bill, H.R. 2216, introduced in Congress on May 8, 2007, seeks to amend the Hate Crime Statistics Act to include crimes against the homeless. This would require the FBI to collect data on crimes against the homeless - data sorely needed by homeless advocates - in order to determine if they are hate-motivated attacks. The second bill, H.R. 2217, introduced on the same date, seeks to include the homeless in the list of classes protected under the Violent Crime Control...
...Abusing the system like Maryland has is not going to improve our national security - it is only going to irritate Americans who will rebel against it. Terrorism lists should be compiled by the FBI, and reviewed by an Congressionally-mandated, independent body to purge the names that shouldn't be on it. The United States does not do well as a police state, but it does even worse when local and state authorities get to decide who the enemies of this state...
