In honor of the hearings on Specter’s bill to retrotractively legalize Bush’s warrantless surveillance program in exchange for a Bush’s promise to have the program reviewed by a secret court, play this if you can bear to watch!

Britney then:

Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision he makes and should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens.”

Arlen now:

I trust the president. He overruled the staff in our meeting. He’s come to grips with the specifics, and he’s given his word.”

Poor, poor Arlen.

Such a long career, and for Specter to end up like this is sad, sad, sad….

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
