Tinfoil alert: Remember the "super secret" Congressional meeting
a few months back?

Whatever happened with that, anyway? Does anyone else remember this, besides me?

1. Didn't that turn out to be a surprise birthday party for Cheney?

2. Remember the whole thing about how there was supposedly a
complete economic collapse coming, how Congressional families would be under protection, bla bla bla?

I was thinking about that one this morning. I realize the original poster had no proof, but I did think it a bit eerie that he or she wrote the whole thing was going to happen in September.

5. Sweetie, I don't, I was hoping someone else would.
The post just stuck in my mind, and I wondered to myself what the OP would have to say about all this now.

3. No Surprises are not allowed...
lawyers get shot in the face, due to surprises...It must have been a top secret meeting to select secret Santa's.

6. Oh... wait... was that the one that Kucinich refused to attend?
Because he said they always made you either sign something or swear an oath to not divulge what was discussed? And that he couldn't swear that he wouldn't, depending on what they told him, so he didn't want to know?

8. It was about FISA, the Republicans claimed they had secret reasons as to why
Cheney needed to spy on us without a warrant.
