Been Caught Stealing

One More Time.

Whorry Reid has been taken to the woodshed by Lord Cheney and is reading the script "Pass this FISA law or Bad! Things! will happen. Scary!  Boogy Monster!!  Don't bother reading it - it's just some common sense laws that... ummm... totallyallowforeavesdroppinganyoneanywhereanytimeandplusgivesblanketimmunitytotelecoms whoprovidedthisinformationillegallyandbesidesanybodyinvolved.."

Indeed.  The FISA bill Reid and the White House minions would like us to believe is SO necessary for security, actually contains not only blanket immunity for your telecom service, which sold you down the river last year to the Government, but anybody ever involved in the charade.  Bush, Cheney, Gonzales, Condi's shoe salesmen...

As they say at the GNB, If my term was winding down, and based on the level of illegality of this administration, I'd be looking to cover my ass too.

But- and this is the funny part, hah-hah - we are just Normal Fuckin People out here, and when we break a law, you damn well betcha we don't get to change the rules after the fact and our asses WILL sit in jail.  Because we're a Nation of Laws, doncha know.  Unless you're rich, white, and Republican.

Or, if you're  a Corporation.  Because with this Act, we will finally have elevated Corporations clearly above individuals.  A Corp is allowed to spend money as free speech as if it's an individual, but can avoid prosecution as individuals.  Our Corporate Overlords thank you for your blind obedience, here's a pittance as a paycheck, no go buy our cheap crap and keep us in Lear Jets.

Demand accountability.  Write your Senator.  

And a big, sloppy and sincere Thank You to Russ Feingold and Chris Dodd, and any other Patriots who stand with them today to strike down this oligarchic gift.  We love you folks, big warm hugs; and come election times, we'll remember who has been able to remember WHO works for WHO.
