Senate Caves, Patriot Act extended

I can’t find any results of the vote. They’ve apparently agreed to extend the PA for 6 months, while they negotiate safeguards to personal freedoms. Nice to know that our freedoms are negotiable.

Coverage from the lapdog press can be found here.

    This crap is driving me inexorably insane. I can only stand so much cognitive dissonance.

    Having GWB stand at a podium and talk about circumventing people’s civil liberties in order to protect civil liberties is far too Orwellian for my little brain.

    J&K-Here in Taiwan during last presidential election, both incumbent pres & VP,staged their own attempeted assassination. all the details are very spurious at best. everytime I was tempted to get on my “great white man’s” high and mighty horse, I bit my lip and ashamedly kept silent. for I am the one from the grat democracy where a man had his brother fix the presidency for him.

    Stings like a bitch at times. So, sorry to say-the rest is just “details.” God save America-quickly please. I’m really hoping that the internet/blogging/podcasting transparenct tools will help bring about our country’ salvation from the corporate/political rape of our assets and pillaging of our rights.
