Spying Twists the Party Line

Hopefully this whole spying debate will create some strange bedfellows. Today, a bunch of conservatives were downright brutish to the President, and we are not talking Right-wing firebrands like Michael Savage, these where True Believer-types who have been among El Presidente Arbusto’s biggest supporters.

Then we have this deal on the boarder. Yesterday, America’s DiY vigilante boarder patrol, The Minuteman Project, announced that the U.S. government was turning over information on the Minutemen’s work to the Mexican government. So, if true (Homeland Security did not deny it), not only was the Government spying but they turned their intel over to a foreign power. We’d hate to hear the venom spewed by the Right if these shenanigans were going on with a Democrat in the White House. Gore visited a Buddhist Monastery during the '96 election and got some dirty financing along with his meditation and the Right had him carrying a Little Red Book. Surly this is worse; at least Gore was pandering to Americans.

Of course, the real bummer with both of these events is that it is unlikely some grand collation of Right and Left will form to stop the illegal surveillance. The Left/Right, Blue/Red divide is simply too deep, it'll always come back to some wedge issue (abortion, God in schools, or whatever). And sadly these guys probably know it; they'll just buy time.

Your thoughts might carry more weight if you were a little more attentive to your writing. Using a spellchecker is only the first step.

But that's only the first step. Being able to use the correct word is the next...

While a border is a division between countries, a boarder is one who boards. And while collation is a variety of ordering, a coalition is a partnering organization.

May 11? I just saw your billboard this week. You've got my attention (and you've got a massive billboard) so what have you got to say?

The links look like a good start, but keep going...

The other day I picked up an IP number from the White House on my blog - I do believe W is snooping around my blog, I would be very careful, he may be reading yours too. BOO! Ha ha ha ha ha.

I must say, you have a great idea started. I saw the billboard in the beginning of October, I think it was; Of course I had to check it out. I agree with whoever "matt" is... keep going.
