You Can't Ignore Politics, No Matter How

Imagine Wasting All That Perfectly Good Anger On Paranoid Fantasies. Not Since Emily Litella Got Upset About "soviet Jewelry" Has There Been Such A Waste Of Anger.

I Think Of Texas As The Laboratory For Bad Government.

The Government Can Now Delve Into Personal And Private Records Of Individuals Even If They Cannot Be Directly Connected To A Terrorist Or Foreign Government. Bank Records, E-mails, Library Records, Even The Track Of Discount Cards At Grocery Stores Can Be Obtained On Individuals Without Establishing Any Connection To A Terrorist Before A Judge. According To The Los Angeles Times, Al Qaeda Uses Sophisticated Encryption Devices Freely Available On The Internet That Cannot Be Cracked. So The Terrorists Are Safe From Cyber-snooping, But We're Not.

Texas Is A Fine Place For Men And Dogs, But Hell On Women And Horses.
