No worries mates. This is the ultimate solution.

I think it would actually it would be a good political action to stage this one day next week.

Imagine the Treasury overflowing with huge envelopes filled with all of your bills in a symbolic protest of this tax on all of us and our children. Reminds me of the Boston Tea Party.

2. This is a very good idea
I would like someone to set up a web site where people could enter their bills, their mortgage, their health insurance premiums, and then send it to their representatives and these asshats in DC. They don't understand what's happening in regular people's lives, that's for sure.

media blasted. Even the MSMs would cover something like this. Of course, we'll still need to pay those bills, but the statement is worth a movement.

Off to the Greatest Page with you.

10. do a "Cheney" redact
make a copy/scan - take a black marker to the copy and black out sensitive info - then make a copy/scan of that copy. this is the one you will want to send in

just blacking out a copy will still enable people to see sensitive info.

18. I thought that was called "CIA highlighting."
Lucky for us, Porter Goss got right on that.

LANGLEY, VA—A report released Tuesday by the CIA's Office of the Inspector General revealed that the CIA has mistakenly obscured hundreds of thousands of pages of critical intelligence information with black highlighters.

According to the report, sections of the documents— "almost invariably the most crucial passages"—are marred by an indelible black ink that renders the lines impossible to read, due to a top-secret highlighting policy that began at the agency's inception in 1947.

CIA Director Porter Goss has ordered further internal investigation.

"Why did it go on for this long, and this far?" said Goss in a press conference called shortly after the report's release. "I'm as frustrated as anyone. You can't read a single thing that's been highlighted. Had I been there to advise Allen Dulles, I would have suggested the traditional yellow color—or pink."
