A million names on the list, but TSA still has wrong priorities
According to some estimates the terrorist watch list has reached 1,000,000 names. WOW!!! I guess being on it no longer gets you a good table at the Terrorist Café since it is obvious that they are including a whole lot of marginal members and probably more than a few wannabe’s. And probably a fair amount of people that are merely critics of the Bushcheney regime and its uncounted violations of our civil rights. I wouldn’t be surprised if my name is on it. Guess I’ll find out this Christmas when I try to get on a plane to join my wife’s family on a holiday cruise. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m beginning to think that airport security is getting to be pretty much of a joke. They stop little old ladies but homeless people can sneak onto a plane for a nap. The list of what you can or can’t take on board seems to change on a weekly basis, and then you hear news stories of people who are testing security getting past it with guns. In the meantime our economy seems to be headed for the toilet because of housing speculators, greedy and stupid lenders, greedy oil companies and speculators, and we’re spending billions on a border fence that will probably primarily reduce the supply of gardeners, kitchen help, and office cleaners. But what do you expect from an administration that claims we conquered Iraq to save it but won’t let them decide when we leave, which I think would make us an army of occupation. Just remember what we learned in Vietnam - sometimes you have to destroy a village to save it. As the English say, bloody brilliant!!!

John-
Do keep us informed if the evil bloodthirsty Bush/Cheney/Hitler cabal has put your name on the terrorist watch list. We can hardly stand the suspense!! Please, somebody, remind me to breathe!! Why, I’ll bet that the evil ringleader himself, george W, is peeking into your windows RIGHT NOW to see what nafarious plot you’ve hatched that will certainly bring down his satanic reign. The BushCheney intelligence report on John A Joseph is probably a few hours old, and another update is a few hours away, so evil W will want to eyeball his archnemesis personally!! Having the KH-11 spy satellites fly over your house 8 times per day isn’t enough!
It’s time for a new entry under “Paranoia” in Webster’s Dictionary. It’s amazing how one person can rant while not including a single fact or specific example to support his laundry list of allegations. Name for me one opponent of the Bushcheney regeime who is on the terrorist watch list soley because of their opposition to the President. Cite the “countless violations of civil rights”. Cite this week’s list of things that cannot be brought on a plane, and cite how it differs from last week’s list. Cite the stories of people getting on plnaes with guns. Cite how greedy speculators are driving up oil prices.
I thought it was evil W who saw a bogeyman behind every tree and around every corner!
