  • ...and, without any fuss, civil rights started to go out.
  • I especially liked this item: Photobucket
  • I especially love it when they detain anybody under 10 years old.
  • I think a terrorist watch list is an excellent tool to try to prevent terrorism. So many of the terrorist actions (New York, Madrid, London, etc.) have relied on the precise synchronization of their watches. It may be a small step, but making a list up of the watches they like to wear and seizing those watches may prevent the next 9-11.
  • Eh, now they're watching ***you*** 'nockle.
  • (1) Put a million people on a LIST (2) Interfere with their lives and generally irritate them (3) WATCH as a small minority go nuts (4) Wait for them to become TERRORISTS (5) Go to Congress and cite the fact they were on your list (6) Profit!!! through additional Federal funding
  • Home to Roost by Kay Ryan Get Flash Player The chickens are circling and blotting out the day. The sun is bright, but the chickens are in the way. Yes, the sky is dark with chickens, dense with them. They turn and then they turn again. These are the chickens you let loose one at a time and small— various breeds. Now they have come home to roost—all the same kind at the same speed. Just a little something from your subversive Poet Laureate Damn, but that poem fits our society.
  • America, Land of the .... what? How does that song go? Oh, yeah. Freedom's just another word.
