1. We Knew THIS Was Inevitable ...
... I'm just a little surprised they didn't get around to it sooner.

3. Well, we've known this...
... since January, when the leaked draft DSEA was circulating. This is why Ashcroft has been doing his road show.

I recommend writing all representatives and senators and tell `em what I told mine after I got a copy of the DSEA: "Don't try to amend this legislation, don't try to modify it to 'make it better.' Kill it. Drive a stake through its heart for good measure. It's dangerous to everyone."

Cheers.

12. People have been calling it that...
... but its working name was the Domestic Security Enhancement Act, and mostly built on the framework of the Patriot Act, with a few new nasty twists.

It's anyone's guess what they're going to hand Congress this time. My guess is that it will be worse than the draft DSEA, so by the time it's trimmed back, it will be what they wanted.

Cheers.

Today is a time to honor not only the victims of 9-11, but the whistleblowers that will help us along the path to truth as well. Come forward, give us the truth...please.

7. If we had bombs going off every day...
and they were having trouble prosecuting people for it, then I could see making more laws to get rid of the terrorists...but we haven't had a terrorist attack here in EXACTLY 2 YEARS!! What that tells me is either they aren't staging them anymore or that what we are doing is enough.

9. What's funny is...
Lewis Black was at my school day before yesterday talking about this idiot. He said he obviously is just reading and has no idea what he's saying. Sometimes the look on his face doesn't match what he's saying. GET IT OFF YOUR FACE! QUIT LOOKING THAT WAY! You're smirking and you're talking about how sad you are that someone has died, you IDIOT!

14. One enabling act wasn't enough for Hitler either
You just can't please tyrants and they can never have too much power in their estimation.
