Do you think George WAshington taped Aaron Burr's phone
calls just before he shot Hamilton? Damned terrorists.

2. Well, Alberto Gonzales reveled that
Washington, Lincoln, and FDR all had electronic surveillance! The Colbert Report showed a clip of him saying that!

4. The bug was a termite and the limo a carriage,
but other than that, spot on. ;)

5. Aaron Burr wasn't a terra-ist - so he had nothing to worry about.
But if Washington had done his JOB then we wouldn't have to worry about al Queda today.

Check out his pics. Martha in a string bikini at the Hyatt in Honolulu.

Turns out the whole Burr thing started from a misunderstanding on a message board. It was tough back then. It was before the whole emoticon thing became widely used. Hamilton forgot to type two colons with the word sarcasm in between. Sucks. Oh well. Those were the times man. Those were the times.

Anyway George's band will be playing at the Alleycat next week. You should check it out. The light show really makes it worthwhile.

:End time warp:

8. LOL! Thank you so much for that. The biggest laugh all day!
(Although Cheney's trick shooting was hard to beat.)

10. No...
but I am sure that the Tories phone lines were tapped so when they called Canada or to England Washington would know what the hell was going on. I'm sure Washington would only tap into calls that were international in nature. That has to be the rationale and the precedence the Bush* administration used!
