How much you wanna' bet they timed that Mafia bust in New York to coincide with this.
Guess they want to "soften us up" for full-blown domestic spying as a part of the "War Against Crime"....
Maybe they'll set up the machines to listen for words like: "Weed" or "twelve-years-old" or "One-Hundred Dollars", or "Democratic" instead of "Democrat"....
Then they'll be knocking on YOUR door....
I wrote a poem once. In response to a situation where the Georgia police busted down a door and caught two men in "the act" ("flagrante delicioso" or whatever they call it!) Of course they prosecuted them:
Come into my bedroom,
And check out MY sex life.
Make note of all the "nasty" things,
I'm doing with my wife.
But when you jump out from behind the curtains,
And holler "You've been caught!"
The last thing you will know, my friend,
Is Twelve-Gauge, Double Ought.
Better the gutter than a rut......
I'm with you. Yesterday, Froomkin over at the Washington Post had a recap of just how many times Rice was told BEFORE 9/11. They knew full well that we would be hit and they did nothing. I still think they said: "Let them take their best shot, as it will free us to do what we've wanted to do for years, ever since we got our wrists slapped for Iran-Contra. We'll use this as an excuse to enact our Project for a New American Century Revolution and Coup d'Etat."
IS THAT NOT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE?
Now- I think this most recent trip to the middle-east by W and Cheney was to finalize the plans for whatever is to come next. I suspect it will be a hit on the Democrat (sic) Party convention, which will be blamed on the Democrat congress, and used as an excuse to declare a state-of-emergency, and postpone the elections "until further notice"...
Am I paranoid?
Even on NPR this morning they incorrectly referred to "FISA".
The madness continues, with the most regretable part being that the sheep aren't even aware of what's happening. The point in the speech last night when Dumbya mentioned the PAA vote was stunning how the rethugs lept to their feet and the dem side was stoney silent....
to watch the show?
Where oh where
Is be-bop-o?
Expound for me, cat.
Expound.
PAN - Universal
MAL - Bad
MANIA - Maniacal
even on NPR it was phrased that this was "presumably", or some language to that effect, Dubya's "final" SOTU.
I think it was also over in the Washington Post that something was made of the fact that similar language was used, i.e. that this might NOT be his finale.
I guess anyone can go and see all of the other kook stuff that I've spewed to all of you in the past, but man I can sure imagine some scenarios where these folks find some way NOT to have an election.......
Discuss please... Am I crazy? If I had told you on 9/10 that we would be suspending Habeas would you have said I was crazy then?
when he says "democrat party".......
What a loser this clown is.
A total f***ing loser.
Paul D: YOU ARE 100% correct! TURN OFF THAT DAMNED TV! Take control of your own life. Learn to entertain yourself. Create something. Read a book. Learn to play guitar/piano/bridge/crotchet, SOMETHING.....
I will base MY VOTE Obama vs Clinton on which one has the guts to stop this criminal administration.
Here's MY LITMUS TEST.
This issue.
We need to start taking really careful notes on who's doing this sort of thing. Who are they? Where do they live?
This will come in handy when President H. Clinton has the same powers that Cheney has claimed for W. Lock people up without trial, waterboarding, cells at Gitmo, etc.
Like that woman who asked McCain what he was going to do about "The Bitch"... 1-21-09 her life becomes Hell on Earth.
That's what I SAY!
BILL CLINTON - ATTORNEY GENERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BILL CLINTON
I recently read that some of this activity was "cut-off" by the telecoms because the government didn't pay their bills?
I believe they will "cave".....
The ONLY possible siver lining is that these "powers" that have been claimed by this administration, will soon fall into the hands of the democrats.
I have fantasies of Bill Clinton as Attorney General!
I see this as an attempt to counter the e-mail garbage smearing him as a "muslim" and all of the other lies about him.
And here's the kicker: The "Christians" who are smearing Obama, are the very same people who want to put the Ten Commandments in our public spaces. The Ten Commandments, one of which is "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness".....
It ought to be a CAPITAL CRIME.....
Is this that fucking exterminator, again?
I thought he was dead?
If you always tell the truth you never have to remember anything.
He's been watching too many lawyer shows on TV!
As I see it, ANYONE who voted to abolish Habeas needs to have all semblances of civilization removed from their life. Send his ass to Gitmo and lock him up in a tiger cage. FOREVER.
"English Leather? Isn't that English Leather?".....OOOOOOOOO I just LOVE English Leather.....
Come on man. ONE GOOD THING.
Just one.
You cannot do it.
You cannot.
Just one.
You goddamned morons are eating little turds and trying to tell the rest of us that it's Kisses.
JUST ONE GOOD THING.
EIGHT YEARS LATER - JUST ONE.
You forgot to mention onomatopoeia!
