I can tell you WHY they change the name DRE to touch screen whatever the fuck.

Cause it's HARDER to keep up with, it's HARDER to type.

It's High time we stick to the original names of things.
Enough of this shit.

Speaking of voting for the demise of democracy ...

In the bill passed Saturday, the republicans in the House all (except Johnson (IL) and Jones (NC)) voted to give Bush what he demanded: warrantless wiretaps of americans.

These House democrats entered the preznit blush hall of shame:

Altmire, Barrow, Bean, Boren, Boswell, Boyd (FL), Carney, Chandler, Cooper, Costa, Cramer, Cuellar, Davis (AL), Davis (Lincoln), Donnelly, Edwards, Ellsworth, Etheridge, Gordon, Herseth Sandlin, Higgins, Hill, Lampson, Lipinski, Marshall, Matheson, McIntyre, Melancon, Mitchell, Peterson (MN), Pomeroy, Rodriguez, Ross, Salazar, Shuler, Snyder, Space, Tanner, Taylor, Walz (MN), Wilson (OH)

(House Vote).

It is a day of infamy, and it portends the final days of what was once american democracy.

It is not the system that counts, it is the people in the system. And those democrats in the House listed above, and all republicans save two, are pure and simple traitors to the 4th Amendment.

From the "destroy the constitution in order to save it" department.

House Vote Update:

It was the blue dog democrats who caved in and advocated the violation of the 4th Amendment.

There is a very good expose and rant at DailyKos which supports the view that the US Democracy is now inevitably passing away.

As you know, DailyKos is very "moderate" compared to us here at Bradblog.
