Gotta love it!!! From the Onion...

Congress Approves Surveillance Measures

The Democratic-controlled House passed a bill that will allow wide-ranging domestic and foreign eavesdropping that would be authorized by a secret court. What do you think?



"The privacy issues are troubling, but what really bothers me is that the government is going to be getting my phone sex for free."




"It's like the old saying 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em,' except for the part about being beat."




"You won't need to eavesdrop to hear this: I voted for you assholes because you said you were against shit like this."

13. Amazing!!!
Relaxing. Fun. Great weather. Great food and drink. Wonderful company. And NO POLITITICS!!!

Unfortunately, I came back to find that the dems had caved on this eavesdropping crap. That was a nasty way to return. Oh well, I'll just start planning the next trip...

2. Wow. That last one...
really hits the nail on the head, doesn't it. Every Dem who voted for this should have this little nugget from the Onion emailed to 'em.

My favorite Onion headline: "Crippled Child Prays for Hope; God Says No."
