Political appointees at the Department of Labor are moving with unusual speed to push through in the final months of the Bush administration a rule making it tougher to regulate workers' on-the-job exposure to chemicals and toxins.

You just have to love how expendable US workers have become under Bush's watch. This is more of his true "legacy" for this country, and its people.

Child porn crusader arrested for ... child porn
Among the more than 100 laws Cohen has sponsored is one that created a 24-hour hotline for members of the public to report computer crimes, including child pornography. He also co-sponsored a law that retroactively removed immunity from churches, schools and other charities that negligently hire employees who sexually abuse children.

Tased Until Dead: The Epidemic of Taser Crazy Cops
Taser use has become an outrage, a threat to the rule of law, an overt violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, to say nothing of felony violations of US Codes, and state laws against murder. The epidemic of taser abuse is characteristic of fascist police states run riot when those sworn to uphold the law become nothing more than thugs and/or murderers.

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]'Doctors believe 16-year-old Mace Hutchinson broke his back and heel after falling, as his injuries are consistent with such a fall. The boy's family does not understand why police would have tasered the the teen 19 times after he was so seriously injured.

Speculators Trying to Buy Control of Food Supply
Given the meltdown in the housing and financial sectors and the weakness in the U.S. economy, large investors figure that everyone has to eat, and so investing in food production is a sure thing. That means that speculators will drive up food prices.

Caught on tape: Army recruiters threaten high school students
So Gonzales signed up - but only to "pre-enlist" in the Delayed Entry Program. DEP allows kids to try out the military without a binding commitment.
But the 11 News Defenders have found there is a problem: Army recruiters aren't sticking to the program and are bullying and even lying to potential recruits and their families to keep them from dropping out.
After he had a change of heart, Gonzalez became one such victim.
"I'd rather just stay here, go to college," he said he told his recruiter. The reaction: Gonzalez said a recruiter told him if he did drop out, they would send him to jail.

Bribery rules on Afghan roads
We arrive at a check post in the Daka area and a uniformed police officer asks Younas for his documents.
After a 30-minute wait, it becomes clear that the police officer wants money or else we will wait here forever. After much bargaining, Younas doles out 600 Afghanis ($13). "Nothing gets done without money these days. During the Taleban days, we didn't have to pay bribes," he says, visibly angry.
