The Price of Homeland Security

Is drastically reduced privacy (William Safire, NYT).  Scary.  Probably one of the biggest data base projects around, too.

Hard Times ahead for the US

According to this correspondent, Americans are facing a bleak future after last week's almost 50-50 election result (no more elections?).  Lifted from James Taranto's Best of the Web, November 13.

Diabolically Funny
In a letter to the editor of the Lincoln Journal Star (third letter) Randall Rimkovsky weighs in:

The dictatorship begins as the diabolical Republican party rises to power.

We will see senior citizens shivering, begging for food, and dying a tortuous [sic] death after George W. Bush shoves them into the streets.

Hospitals and care facilities will suffer neglect as the attention to health care is diverted by the worship of war.

Calamity inevitably abounds. Terrorists will unleash horror as we've never seen before, because the warmongering dictator, George W. Bush, will now have his way, and the terrorists are really going to get mad at us now.

Pollution will proliferate and thousands will perish by poisoning through our food, water and air. The delicate environment will deteriorate before our very eyes.

Children, especially black children, will starve in our schools. Schools? What am I saying? There won't be any schools.

Black Americans and all Americans of color will now be thrust into oblivion as affirmative action is thrashed and discrimination flourishes throughout the nation. We will see unemployment numbers among minority citizens soar like never before.

Corporate executives will line their pockets with gold while we watch the average workers' income plunge.

Roe vs. Wade is inevitably history, and we will see stories abound of bloodied girls in the streets desperately trying to rid themselves of the horrible inconvenience of an illegitimate child.

Yes, the dictatorship begins. George W. Bush and the diabolical Republicans will reign over a nation of barbaric horror.

As we all know, there are many cable news networks that are constantly battling each other to increase their respective audience.

We undoubtedly will have the ugly misfortune of witnessing these deliberate acts of violence upon our nation.
