Gleeful Old White Men Signing Away Your Rights ---pix--->>>




President Bush surrounded by members of Congress takes part in a signing ceremony for the USA Patriot and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act, Thursday, March 9, 2006, in the East Room at the White House in Washington. After a long battle with Congress that went down to the wire Bush signed a renewal of the USA Patriot Act, a day before 16 major provisions of the old law expire. (AP Photo/Ron Edmonds)

19. Why the smiles? At best, such an Act should elicit looks. . .
of satisfied concern, but it's hardly a moment for glee. I mean this from the most Patriot Act-supporting position I could imagine someone would have -- even if I believed such a perverse, draconian measure were actually necessary and the law as written the best human hands could craft in the circumstances, I could not bring myself to laugh or even smile as the measure was signed into law. The fellow in the middle, with the gold tie, can be excused his look of gleeful merriment -- he looks dimly retarded and is probably happy his underwear is dry. But what do the rest have to celebrate?

24. I am so upset over this.
Not about those old white men signing our rights away but that our beloved Patrick Fitzgerald agrees with the Patriot Act. :-(
