Why I hate the Patriot Act, the two party system, and Nazis

I lifted this article from shoutwire.com. I very accidentally came across this while cruising around the web looking for funny video clips. Yes, I was very bored.

Article

This article, while going to extremes in some cases to make a point, does get the message across as to why the Patriot Act is the worst thing to happen to the United States since, well I can't think of anything worse than this. Americans are willingly giving up their liberty. That's unprecedented. It's not supposed to happen. It's downright un-American.

Patriot Act is such an ironic name.

Ah yes indeed it's fun time.

Ning is kind of like MySpace for people with IQs. The app is ugly and underdeveloped yes, but I'm tired and it's late. I swore one day I would write a book of all the totally out of context ending of conversations or sentences I hear everyday that makes me snort a little. This is the closest that dream may ever come. If you haven't noticed, I write for crap.

Add to the fun. You know you want to.

The propaganda machine must be broken

Here is a story that actually puts the US military in a  favorable light. A US naval vessel noticed an Iranian shop adrift and altered course to rescue those Iranian sailors.  Turns out they had been adrift for 10 days and were in dire straits.

This is the kinda of thing that should be getting more press.  I found it
buried deep on the local rag's website.  You'd think the US government
would want this story spread around like a low-fat butter substitute.
