Also, unless you are gay and want to get married. He should really just say what he means. His approval rating is already in the toilet. Why is he trying to pretend?

I couldn't agree more. I HATE the sight of his face. Bleh. Thanks for the tips about my Flickr. I tried this morning, and it worked for some reason without any tinkering, but if I try to add a header over the Flickr, then it moves all the way to the left again. I seriously need to take an HTML class.

Geez, thanks for the tummy ache.

Yeah, the anti-gay marriage thing really pisses me off..what BULLSHIT!!

OK, the eavesdropping I could care less about. Read below...

News flash: the government (both federal and local) has been able to listen in on YOUR AND MY calls for decades (They have ALWAYS needed a warrant and will continue to do so). All of this controversy is not about the government spying on "innocent Americans". The government does not want to listen to your phonecalls. YOU ARE NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH. (Unless you want to commit a felony and then that might change :)

The proposal to listen in on on inbound phonecalls from foreign countries (like...Afghanistan to U.S) without Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Commission (FISC) approval. Why they want to skip the approval is beyond me. Maybe the FISC takes too long. Maybe they refused to give approval in the past on one of the members involved in 9-11. Maybe Bush wants to be a macho-man and say "fuck the FISC" I don't know.

The controversy surrounding this is that some people think that bypassing the approval of the FISC makes the warrant null, and hence makes the wiretapping "warrantless".

Thats it, the end. "There is the "warrantless wire tapping" for you. How this got into the "the government wants to spy on me and take away everyone's rights!!! I don't know, but I would assume it is the same as always: the news wants to be the first to cover a presidential "controversy" or "conspiracy" and make lots and lots of $$$. Nevermind what kind of BS you plant in the minds of millions of innocent people who trust you and the accuracy of your news. As long as they get the big bucks.. Don't believe me? Wait until there's a Democrat in the office and see if there is any less garbage in the news. (i.e, Monica Lewinsky "scandal")
