[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm not doing anything wrong so I have nothing to worry about.
If you're not doing any drugs, why don't you mind peeing in a cup? You're just being a little prissy prude, man up and take your medicine.
That's not how I feel, but that's exactly the argument wiretapping proponents put forth.
Again, why should I care?
And I guess you missed the part where I pointed out that to get or keep a decent cup I have to submit to a (what is to me at least) a humiliating procedure.
You should care for the same reason you dislike peeing in a cup: you are being presumed guilty of a crime.
Wiretapping is even worse because while you have the option of working at 7-11 and not peeing in a cup, you have NO options to protect yourself from wiretapping, there is no consent whatever. It is forced on you in a much more direct way than the drug test. I suppose you could resort to only talking to people in person.
(keep in mind, I'm saying this as someone who opposes the bogus drug war in all its aspects, both on philosophical and practical grounds.)
How many people are in prison because of "data mining"?
How many are in prison because of the drug war?
Which is really the more significant threat to freedom?
The real question is: why would you think for even a second that the never-ending war on drugs and the never-ending war on terror won't wind up being the exact same program, operationally if not officially?
The same abuse of power that characterizes the war on drugs cannot fail to develop if unrestricted access to the phone lines of this country is given to a bunch of careerist spooks.

He'll have to ask his wife first.
NYUK-HYUK-HYUK, THAT'S A GOOD ONE MAN UR SO FUNNY.
So who does Bush ask when he wants to take his nuts out for old times sake, Cheney?

Walking corpses ask: "Is Obama zombie enough to be president?"
[Read the article: War cheerleaders ask: "Is Obama man enough to be president?"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Concerned undead pundits are discussing whether or not Obama is sufficiently deceased to lead the War On Brains to victory.
All reasonable, serious zombies know that Supreme Zombie Bush's program to eliminate brains from the skulls of every human on Earth, ushering in a new era of Global Demoncracy, is just too important to be left to the hands of a mere human like Obama.
Will he have the stomach to messily devour the stomachs of our enemies? Does he have the spine to continue feeding our national dependence on foreign spines?
The prime question for Zomberica: who has the biggest re-animated dick, and are they willing to impale Iraqis on it?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is interesting. If you look at the presidents of that led the US into wars--Wilson, FDR, Truman--they would all be considered effete intellectuals by today's standards, much like Obama.
But it's weird how so many people think of Bush as "manly"... he's as effete as they come (no calluses on his hands, you can bet) while clearly not an intellectual.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just think of all that vicious, evildoing brush that Bush has cleared out with his bare hands...Considering all the time he spends on vacation doing that, his hands must be plenty roughed up.
to be honest, I'd always imagined he just shoos his illegal immigrant day-laborers away for 15 minutes while the camera crew films him moving a bundle of twigs five feet to the left...
then after the cameras are off, they lay down to make a human bridge so his precious feet don't touch the ground while he walks back to the house...

Boy, I wish I could just dump the whole barrel right into my TV and dry up the lousy pundit slugs...

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of course, I'm sure the majority of men on this site get manicures, so I'm sure you all consider them VERY manly.
Why would you be sure of that? Some stupid-ass stereotype you got from Sean Hannity? Some bullshit image you have in your mind of the typical Salon reader?
Those sound like good reasons. You must be one smart cookie.
A couple of years ago, my boss was in a salon getting a manicure, and lo and behold who else was getting a manicure, but none other than your boy Barack.
You let some nancy-boy metro boss you around and sign your checks? What a wuss. No wonder you love East-coast prep-school silver-spoon Bush so much, just your crowd.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yeah, that's so totally like, peasant, you know! Yuck, like a guy who actually has to WORK for a living!
Right! Yeah! Not anything like Bush, Cheney, or any of your other heroes! Buncha ivy-league, $600-shoe-ownin' pansies!
I'm guessing you're a pantywaste that gets manicures.
I'm guessing you have to mock others' manliness because you've got an empty sack.
In MY experience
Vast, I'm sure, Mr. Right-wing Internet Pundit.
How could a woman respect a guy who spends more time looking in the mirror than she does?
How could a woman respect a guy who cares about other guys' nails?
