Friday Morning Nightmare

It's relatively early Friday morning and I am performing my morning ritual of walking the dogs, checking up on the blogs, and reading the NY Times.  This morning there was a picture of Dick and Tom, all serious and important, telling us that Osama bin Laden was plotting another massive attack against the U.S. sometime this year.  "The intelligence is cryptic," said one officical, but they're gearing us up for an attack just the same.

Also, yesterday, we were informed that the House refused to pass legislation limiting the power of the Patriot Act.  Actually, they came close to nixing it, but after extending the time limit for the vote, the Republican leadership was able to coerce 10 of their renegade own who had voted for the limitations to change their votes.  The limitations they were voting on included provisions for checking up on what kind of books you and I were taking out of the library.

Looks like today I'm going to take my Saran Wrap and duct tape down to the library and check out a copy of Mein Kampf.  I need to prepare for the outcome of the upcoming elections.  And I'm sure the administration will not feel threatened by my choice of reading material when they check up on my library card.
