Late night links-a-go-go.
I can’t get enough of talking about FISA.
First, a recap. Contains a good video summary from the American News Project.
Russ Feingold, post-FISA vote interview.
This is what our founding fathers warned against.
The Nation joins the ACLU lawsuit, along with many other good people.
Yes, Ted and I both made another set of donations to the ACLU this week.
In other news…
$10 says Congress doesn’t hold him in contempt.
Karl Rove really is utterly despicable.
And lastly…
McCain’s birth control problem.
This really begs the question… does McCain even know where babies come from?
Oh yeah, Giuliani is a fucking idiot, too.
Oh, big fucking deal. Its all positioning and posturing, and amounts to exactly nothing. Pelosi, you suck.
And a small, sleepy, stream-of-consciousness rant…
Lord, what a fucking mess we’re in.
You know what got us here? Apathy and fear. What a strange and volatile combination. You know why this is all worse than Watergate? Worse than McCarthy? Because back then… people gave a shit. There’s no possibility for positive change when the bulk of the American people are either numb with exhaustion, apathetic because they don’t perceive any of this as relevant to the slog of their daily lives, or scared into submission.
Politicians are banking on our fear, apathy, and numbness. Why wouldn’t they? Its been a sucker’s bet for seven and a half years.
McCain made almost a dozen gigantic blunders this week, but they got about as much press as HR 6304. What bullshit. Fuck the press.
Where are the Woodwards and Bernsteins? And if we did have an army of them, would anyone care?
And so on, and so on.
So, what will Room 101 contain for you?
