Yoo-hah . . .
[Read the article: Amnesty Day for Bush and lawbreaking telecoms]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Or whatever the crazy baldheads say when the President speaks . . .
Mona writes: "The nation is back on track, my friends!"
SNIP (I have not a clue what a Swiss steak is -- I assume it's a piece of meat full of holes, or what your brain looks like after you contract BSE)
"The Congress via the Mitchell hearings is investigating whether Roger Clemons knew he was taking steroids or human growth hormones! And MSNBC is all over it!"
Yep, nothing like cake & circuses. Time to dig up Elvis, a scare about how sitting in front of the computer all day will cause your dick (or whatever) to shrivel up and fall off and a totally awesome video game . . .
back on track = stuck in the rut, doncha mean???

Speaking Of Rants . .
[Read the article: Amnesty Day for Bush and lawbreaking telecoms]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Proximity Warning (a vaguely militaritic kind of handle in a young Campus Republican Yellow Elephant kind of way??) getting his daily dose of asshattedness in, cuts & pastes away,(I am thinking chubby, fish belly white, balding and sexually insecure)chortling merrily:
"Wow. I'm not sure how Glenn is gonna take that.
CUT / PASTE
The dark side....
CUT / PASTE
Very good, you old fruitcake.
CUT / PASTE
Isn't she great? Like some dotty old aunt you get liquered up and ranting just for the sheer fun of it. (aside: this is a true asshole speaking here)
CUT / PASTE
Fantastic! What a hoot the woman is."
Well, you get the idea.
An asshole 20 years ago.
An asshole now.
And he's still gonna be an asshole 20 years from now.
No use arguing with that.
BTW -- yeah, I know. I talk about asshats and cutting & pasting, and then doing the same, but WTF, I say. Sometimes you gotta be an asshole to confront an asshole. At least my condition is only temporary . . .
rant over.

Thank'ee
[Read the article: FISA 101]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What the heck is going on?? I just watched The Leader on BBC and yikes, the man is AWOL. Question here. Those who would destroy us, those who hate our freedoms, those who . . .
whatever. Why would these folks need to use a telephone or the e-mail or a fax or gawd forbid, an FTD to communicate???? Especially since they know that EVERYTHING, everything including this rant is being scrutinized (does anyone else miss Frank Zappa??) by some geek in or elsewhere. I mean, can't we assume that everything we phone, e-mail or whatever is already under survelliance?? I think that what we have here is a failure to communicate -- and these folks really just want to cover their sorry, sorry a$$e$.
Rant over

Ordinarily Wouldn't Bother
[Read the article: The Leader isn't protecting us and keeping us safe]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But we're living in 'perilous' times according to the nutters out there. Big swarthy islamofascists hiding under every bed waiting to saw your head off -- never mind that the real folks we have to worry about are the buccaneers in suits who have looted the treasure of the nation, their enablers in the government -- pallid little cowards (morally and physically)-- and the shooters of the world. Yep, we know all about the shooters of the world. And all of this under the guise of a phony 'war' on terrah.
“I want you to understand that we are at war and we will stay at war until this is done. Nothing else matters. Everything is available for the pursuit of this war. Any barriers in your way, they’re gone. Any money you need, you have it. This is our only agenda . . . I don’t care what the international lawyers say, we are going to kick some ass."

Zombie Nation, he . . .
[Read the article: The Leader isn't protecting us and keeping us safe]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"And apparently we're living in perilous times, where huge white guys with sunglasses, are hiding in the closet . . . "
Yes, I worry about these amoral crazy baldheads, men who act without conscience -- the "Sir, yes sir" / Ollie North crew -- who blindly follow a tyrant and not the Constitution.
Actually, shooter, I'm worried about people walking around with weapons, you know, the flake going off the edge who doesn't take his meds (why are so many people on meds????), the guy with a grudge who decides to go postal, the camo-bubba defendin' his gawd-given right to arm hisself. I'm also worried about callous cops who'd as soon shoot ya or tase ya or sodamize you with a broomstick. I'm worried about punk kids risking their lives and the lives on others on the highways.
Yes shooter, there are scarier things closer at hand.
"And apparently we're living in perilous times, where huge white guys with sunglasses, are hiding in the closet waiting to hear the latest whining, via infrastructure that doesn't belong to you. Eek."
But really scares me is the last part of your scree -- "via infrastructure that doesn't belong to you". What does that mean????

Privatization
[Read the article: The Leader isn't protecting us and keeping us safe]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"That would be the telephone system. It doesn't belong to you."
Ah, for the good old days when we had public utilities -- you know, kind of a quasi-socialistic state where things like electricity, water, sewage, and even the phones belonged to, well, us. Then the crooks came in, bought the 'infrastructure' for a song, whittled down the workforce, neglected the upkeep, and set about sucking us dry . . .
Heck, even the current resident of the WH made a bundle on using public money for private gain (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A06E1DE1439F935A25754C0A9649C8B63)
you gotta love free enterprise. It's given us the best gummint money can buy . . .
