Because I'm feeling especially treasonous today,

The Bush administration is listening to your phone calls, watching your bank transactions, reading your email, examining the sites you visit online, and probably also reading your snail mail, examining your medical records, logging your credit-card purchases, sifting through your garbage, testing the contents of your sewer discharge, recounting applications for gun permits, dog tags, and drivers licenses, compiling a set of DNA profiles, getting the dirt from past relationships, reading your message-board posts, documenting your magazine subscriptions, making a record of your church and AA meeting attendance, tallying your contributions to the Democratic party, doublechecking your credit rating, and breaking into your house when you're not home and going through your drawers and checking out your refrigerator.

Somehow I've just given aid and comfort to the terrorists. You try it, too--it's fun!

I always liked the phrase "giving aid and comfort to the enemy" because it conjures up mental images of sympathizers pouring cups of tea for the Bad Guys, patting them on the head and saying "There, there, everything's going to be all right."

And then they hug.

Y'know, that's what I see, too.

Do you think they're the ones who spilled something mysterious and brown into my cheese drawer? Because I'm still pissed about that!

Well, it could be them, or it could just be the cheese evolving.

Were you suspected of hiding terrorists, liberals, or journalists in your cheese drawer?

The Material Support Bar instituted against people seeking asylum in the US (short version: if someone in Columbia gives 100 dollars (or a class of water in one case) to FARC because somebody from FARC is holding a gun to their head, that person is ineligble for asylum, because they "materially supported terrorism"

I think this is a stupid idea. And I'm affilated with organizations that fight it. Yay aid and comfort to the enemy.
