I stand with Paul

[MannyGoldstein]

If supporting Ed Snowden's exposure of Operation Spy on Everyone (and the the UK's Operation Spy on Everyone's Junk), makes me a Paulite, then let it be.

1. Wait

"I stand with Paul"

...which "Paul"?

Rand Paul Suggests Snowden And Clapper Share A Prison Cell

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Sunday suggested that former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper should share a prison cell in the U.S.

"Maybe if they served in a prison cell together, we'd become further enlightened as a country over what we should and shouldn't do," he said on ABC's "This Week."

Paul said that he does not believe Snowden deserves harsh punishment for his leaks, but believes that both Snowden and Clapper broke the law.

"So James Clapper did break a law and there is a prison sentence for that. So did Edward Snowden," he said. "I don't think Edward Snowden deserves the death penalty or life in prison. I think that's inappropriate. And I think that's why he fled, because that's what he faced."

13. Democrats need to recognize that this is their Achille's heel

They could lose over this issue. Ms. Clinton doesn't have my vote, and it is largely over this single Fourth Amendment issue. We need to ignore the idiots and wake the hell up.

10. Relax. I stand with you, too.

"Hail, Hail, Freedonia, land of the brave and free"

[RufusTFirefly]

16. Truffaut said it was the greatest anti-war movie ever made

Needless to say, I agree with him.



(I'm a Paramount Marxist, not an MGM one.)

Rufus T. Firefly: Where's my Stradivarius?
Officer: Here, sir.
Rufus T. Firefly: I'll show 'em they can't fiddle around with old Firefly!
{he pulls a tommygun out of his violin case and opens fire}
Rufus T. Firefly: Look at 'em run! Now they know they've been in a war!
Bob Roland: Your Excellency!
Rufus T. Firefly: Hahahahahaha, they're fleeing like rats!
Bob Roland: But sir, I've got to tell you...
Rufus T. Firefly: Remind me to give myself the Firefly Medal for this!
{he fires again}
Bob Roland: Your Excellency, you're shooting your own men!
{Firefly fires again}
Rufus T. Firefly: What?
Bob Roland: You're shooting your own men!
Rufus T. Firefly: Here's $5, keep it under your hat.
{holds out his hat to take the $5 back}
Rufus T. Firefly: Never mind, I'll keep it under my hat.

(It's also hilarious.)

18. An amazing movie on several levels

Such talent! When I was a kid, my dad would take me to see Marx Brothers movies when they'd occasionally play in theaters in NYC (1970s). It's the only thing I remember him laughing at. I thought they were hysterical then, even more so now.
