NEWS WITH OOZE tm plus SCARY HOT NEWS FLASHES The Pentagon not too busy, wants to watch you too. Also The Return of the Nativist: Trent Lott Plus Can anyone make Coulter shut up?
LIKE THE ARMY ISN'T BUSY ENOUGH ALREADY "We are deputizing the military to spy on law-abiding Americans in America. This is a huge leap without even a [congressional] hearing," Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said in a recent interview. Be afraid, be very afraid? The Heretik can't wait to hear the usual response: Law abiding citizens have nothing to worry about.
MORE ON THIS Hilzoy: This is serious. The Heretik says serious is an understatement. Gary Boatwright points to Capitol Hill Blue on Bush moving TIA, the Terrorist Information Awareness program over to the Pentagon. The Heretik say count the 1984 Big Brother references. Because they all apply. Liberty Street goes Sixties Retro on the reference I SPY The Pentagon is gearing up to protect itself against the next threat in this age of terrorism: the American people. The Heretik says I SPY? Why do the official types always play us like we are lost in some Sixties McKrap television series. I SPY? Where are Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 from Get Smart? Can the government get smart and stop paying out money to duplicate spy agencies? At some point we will have enough spy agencies that they will spy on each other. Or do we have that already? Oy. HOT FLASH Look for more We have met the enemy and he is us references. Or is it We have met the enemy and he is Big Brother and he is us and we are all together . . . Where is John Lennon when you need him. The last time the government went hard this way, they tried to deport Lennon. POW! Jazz Shaw at Middle Earth Journal goes batty: Dude, where's my country. No, dude... SERIOUSLY, where's my country??? . . . Holy Crap, Batman! When the hell did this happen? And why wasn't it debated in Congress? . . . Can you say, Posse Comitatus? I knew you could.
This garbage started with the Patriot act, and now it's simply getting WAY out of control. You can't simply justify everything up to and including an unregulated police state in the name of the "war on terror."
The Heretik notes Jazz Shaw mixed movie references with Sixties TV show references while informing us. This isn’t as bad a faux pas as mixing up spying on enemies and spying on citizens the government seeks with our neighbors informing on us.EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE RACIST Senator Trent Lott could be Majority Leader again. That will happen if the Republicans remain in the majority and the likes of John McCain get their wishes: "I will tell anyone that of all the majority leaders we've had in the United States Senate, I believe that Trent Lott was the finest leader we've had." thers say Mr. Lott seems liberated. "He's a free agent," said Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas.
"A happy warrior," said Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, adding, "I think he kind of relishes being a bomb thrower right now." The Heretik agrees. What we need now is a free agent, happy warrior bomb thrower in the Senate. But don’t we already have one of those in the White House?SOMEBODY STOP Ann Coulter from embarassing herself further. The muck is only so deep and you have about hit bottom. How many times will Ann Coulter get away with multiplying our problems by resorting to the lowest common denominator? She is obviously in a fevered delusional state and has stopped eating, but seems to think people will eat her McKrap TM forever. Will someone please give aid and comfort to Ann and get her to eat this month? Is an intervention needed? What form should the intervention take? Should a feeding tube be stuffed down Coulter's throat? What is needed to help Ann out?
MORE SLIME IN ITS TIME
As we now know, Saddam Hussein was working with al-Qaida and was trying to acquire long-range missiles from North Korea and enriched uranium from Niger.
Not only did she drink the Kool Aid, she made it.

Nice riff on the I Spy motif. :)

Coulter and her adams apple are a great example of the "dumb as rocks" crowd on the Right. Every time she opens her mouth she exposes the hypocrisy and bigoted mindset of the GOP and Bush apologists.
Why the mainstream media entertains her ridiculousness is beyond me. Maybe its because of her adams apple?

How in the hell does Ann Coulter get away with those bold face lies?
The same way the President does I guess.
Those 37% of the people that believe that bull crap.
