[cali]

Is this going to be the response of the wingnuts, trying to drum up support for more domestic surveillance? Looks that way.

1. Actually we do need more surveillance

In the other direction.

The congress, and the people need to commit more surveillance upon the criminal Bush administration, and hold them accountable.

The thing that worries me is that this meme requires firing up the fear machine again, which may require more than just rhetoric now . . .

2. As Jon Stewart pointed out last night...

Why is it that the government wants US to be more transparent, but THEM to be totally secret?

3. Jon Stewart is the only reason

I sometimes regret not having cable.

4. The cool thing is, he pointed it out to a right-winger shilling her book

He was as polite as he could be, listening to her explain why George is a god, just trying to keep Americans safe. His reaction after her schpeel was classic...just a long, stunned silence as he looked at her...and said "Thank you."

5. He is the KING of the understated reaction shot n/t

6. the downside of all the surveillance is that bush will realize then just

how much people really despise him.

and being disliked doesn't sit will with him. so his handlers may want to be careful about peeking into our lives.
