Are Democrats planning still worse FISA capitulations?

The NYT reports that Democrats are planning to provide retroactive immunity to telecoms which broke the law by allowing warrantless eavesdropping.

The letters thread is now closed.

A hope that DCLaw1 don't feel worst today. A Hallmark get-better wish to a damn Lawyer.

DCLaw1 @ 4:26PM.

Pour favour- Empty the ice-box of all left-over green beans, sauerkraut, mildewed-brownies, old-fish-halibut-chowder, bean-sprouts, walnuts, slimy-okra, and have a real good Born Appetite.

Also: A good soft evacuation of the intestinal track will automatically happen, involuntarily, if you take a walk while you are simmering: barley, wheat, oats, brown-rice (not condi), sunflower seeds (not susan), buckwheat, flax, sesame, millet hulls...so sesame who?

If a lawyer has the audacity to doubt laypeople veracity, and if hillbillies are too pugnacious for DOJ's and FISA's warrant-less arrogance, well, let's try to explin the Necessity of eating slowly more green baby bib-heart (Jefferson's favorite bib-lettuce. Know, the tender,but crispy, Deer Tongue green herb will calm the Bowell-gas potential eruption-explosion. huh) lactuca.

Honest. sip lemmon balm tea.

Congress will sell a bill of bad-poison-"goods". Remember the 60's Mr. Natural?

Oh, Shit. Oh, NO!

No, constipation, and no capitulation. Put a left-over green lime peel in Gin? It can't hurt? People get clogged plumbing constipation. We'll be living in the shadow of Tassers, swords, and see decapitations, Next? I hope not. You too? Nevermind.

In the old days, the well-to-do had in-door double-shutter's. A rich cat didn't want to go outside to bury scat, soho, a inside the upper-story house, the architect was ordered as a contracted worker, to hammer and built a room called, "THE NECESSITY ROOM.

It was "A Place" to write [stink] GOP policy? Farmers called the room a inside "Poop Place." Tap foot? Stupid. I say, Yep.

Anyway: If I had some way to deliver some Buttermilk Pancakes with legal-love, some of us readers would enjoy breakfast together? I wish you anti-war-critters some sticky tons of some great laxative instead. I still get nauseated at the 'word' Lawyer! SO- have a bowl of a TON of cereal barley and just warm-up some buns or pour the gooey Sirop d'erable pur de Nouvelle Ecosse...on Grains. Chew with mouths closed.

Hope you feel better. I heard a sloth person can die with 60 pounds of inner coagulated shit. Gads. That's as much weight as a stinky Halibut (not haliburton) fish. My friend Michele still has not found HELP to fix her outhouse. A neighbor lent her a million dollar lawn mower. The rich folks toys don't turn on a dime like a push-mower. DCLaw1: You know, or are you licenced, to fix knocked-over Outhouses?

PS/BS- No kidding. I also miss the Librarian. There is a simple solution to all our predicaments. Yep. hey, They are short, simple, and wrong. It's complicated for damn sure? Yes.

Right. Nature might have said: No mush. No poop indoors in the Capital Hill hallways? Why? 'Cause we doubt for good reason.

NOTHIN' will grow? Filthy/Sterile? They don't mean shit if they do not respect and represent the good common (sense) people.

No go to the politico's Powder Room on the lower or upper floor. That's what I am thinking: Put the heart in the proper Place and NO allow the human heart vessel to become a bile-clogged poo-per-place.

O, let's finance upper level porches to piss off our steam, and NO fall over the banister rail while railing? huh. O, DCLaw1, do you chink old log cabins on weekends? You need to get out of DC or you will feel and act chained up or all stuck up in a DC2Dog Kennel? Maybe. You may become too copious and ramble at court and bore the new Attorney General nominee. And me too, maybe, will feel bad if a new AG supports laws that we need to be afraid...SO...We need to Run and Piss and Poop at the same time while in flight down the street...?...O, watch out! ALSO: Danger: It is acorn Bump-on-Head and the Tin roof season.

Clunk.

No Junk.

Boil nuts.

In the bottom of the outhouse,

one may see the real Holy Grail.

HUMPTH.

Amongst more of the same SOS, some eedjit wrote:

Zogby puts Congress at 11% approval as read on MSNBC just now. Perhaps contrary to Glenn's idea Congress isn't "progressive" enough, the American public thinks that Habeas Corpus for enemy soldiers overseas is absurd political gamesmanship.

There's stuff (outside or RW speculation and Sh**ter's fantasies) on the polls in the comments here:

Or for that matter breaking up military units, to ensure rotation time.

Oooooohh. ROFL. So that's the reason Rethuglicans don't like giving troops time off. I thought the song was supposed to be that the troops are supposed to be "dedicated" and don't need time off from getting shot at. Maybe Sh**te didn't get his 'talking points' fax....

Then of course there's the issue of immunizing the telecoms being heinous, based on the idea that if they need immunization something awful was done. Like organizing telephone numbers. Horrors....

Organizing telephone numbers isn't illegal. If they need immunity, their problem isn't that they "helped the nation" (as one RW hack put it) or "organiz[ed] telephone numbers". It's that they broke the freakin' law. Sad to say I actually have to explain this to our resident eedjit Sh**ter....

Cheers,

Meanwhile back at the poll.....

Meanwhile Hillary continues the Clinton family history of prostituting themselves for cash in any way possible, via shady donors and lobbyists. Even for a Clinton this is impressively sleazy.

Any commentary from the GG, or would it run the risk of making Tom Delay look benign in comparison? Hsuweet, heh.

@ KB4hire

People don't need to know about memory architecture, or CPU internals, or what a bus is and the different types of busses there are in a typical system. But the same way I can look into my car's engine compartment and know where the battery is at, the radiator, etc, people should know some basic fundamental info about the computer.

Ustabe people needed to know if they had a 6V or 12 V battery (and which terminal was positive). After enough problems, standards and safeguards have evolved to avoid the most devastating user ignorance.

And you might say the same for what type of slot/bus, disk interface (SCSI/SATA/EIDE, etc.), memory speed, etc.... The good news is that (generally) people won't constitute a public safety hazard by mucking up their computer....

Cheers,
