In Unconstitutional you'll get the real story behind the USA PATRIOT Act and other administration policies and the gut wrenching stories behind those affected - from law-abiding store clerks to United States Olympians unable to travel. It'll remind you of what America used to stand for and what it seems we're falling for now. In short, this one-hour film will affirm why you're angry and give you a tool to help others join your ranks.
Via Lessig.

MediaMatters: "In a discussion of the 'gender gap' in this year's presidential campaign, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter insulted the intelligence of her own gender, and then echoed Vice President Dick Cheney's claim that the wrong vote in November could mean death.
Assessing President George W. Bush's recent gains among female voters, according to some polls, Coulter remarked during an appearance on the September 23 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes: 'I'm so pleased with my gender. We're not that bright.'
Moments later, Coulter claimed that Bush is making inroads with women because 'women, though they're not as bright, don't want to die any more than men'. As Media Matters for America has noted, Coulter stated on September 7 that, if elected president, Senator John Kerry 'will improve the economy in the emergency services and body bag industry'."
Via ScribbleScribble: "Ms. Coulter is right about at least one representative of her gender."

Paul Bigley, brother of hostage Kenneth Bigley, said the raid happened two days ago but a spokeswoman for the London Foreign Office said neither British nor Dutch officials had carried out such a raid."
