Time is getting desperate, I think. Last week they sent a subscribe offer that came down to a measly 30 cents an issue.

I tore it up.

EFF Calls on Senate Judiciary Committee and Full Senate to Take More Time and Not Let Telephone Companies Off the Hook

“The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), co-lead counsel in the nearly 40 pending lawsuits against the major telephone carriers, strongly believes that Congress need not and should not grant amnesty for providing the National Security Agency (NSA) with the full content of billions of their customers’ emails, text messages and Internet-carried phone calls.”

I want to stress here, and it’s not news to anyone that Specter is following his time worn pattern of talking tough and voting and having his staff write bill revisions and markups like a real wimp who loves to savage the Constitution and does so regularly.

The meeting is listed as “closed”, so of course the people of this country will have little or no idea of what goes on as per usual. If anyone ever entertained the idea of an open and transparent government in the U.S., I’d relegate that to what Red Hedd’s “Peanut” and her friends learn in school, because it sure ain’t the reality these days.

3 p.m.
Intelligence
Closed meeting of conferees on proposed
legislation authorizing funds for fiscal year
2008 for the intelligence community.
S-407, Capitol

H/T the “Wimpy Commmittee” Senate Judiciary who purports they will take a vote on issuing contempt citations to Rove and Bolten. Good luck with those, (lol) amigos.

That girl was never raped. The story was made up.” There’s really no excuse for these people that hated Clinton so passionately that they let their hatred color everything.

I’m sorry for mispelling “choreographed” and the hononym “their” for “there.” I’m in need of a spell checker, or perhaps more in need of an education.

Because if I used one of either, I might be able to spell “homonym” correctly as well. Time to open winword.exe.
