Something's rotten in the State of America! How come Obama is talking about Cheney rather than calling him up on criminal charges for torture among other things? Do we dialogue with criminals now instead of arresting them? Is this the result of having so many criminals in government that we now think it's normal? Let's get behind the ACLU, sign their petition, and pitch in to get some much needed action. Carlin thinks that Obama agreed not to prosecute Bush/Cheney in exchange for the $350B in unspent bailout funds.

It's been six years since the first reports of detainee abuse and nearly five years since Abu Ghraib. A recent report from the International Committee of the Red Cross provided undeniable documentation of torture at Guantánamo. Yet the Justice Department has failed to prosecute any civilians for crimes related to interrogation, except a single contractor in June 2004.

Last week, the ACLU sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder calling for the appointment of an independent prosecutor to investigate the interrogation of detainees in the war on terror. Help reach the goal of 25,000 citizens calling for a full and fair criminal investigation.  Sign a petition demanding the Justice Department appoint a Special Counsel to investigate the torture and abuse of detainees.

Every time I go thru the metal detector and set off the alarms with my titanium hip joints, I'm put in a plexi glass cage to wait for a "Female Assist" to come pat me down. I often joke with the security guards.

In San Diego, there was a sign that said something about "Securitiy is no laughing matter." While standing inside my plexi glass I see the guy pull my bag to look inside. I know it's my Hitachi Magic Wand he's going for so I wave and
make eye contact with him. Than I pantomime humping my vibrator while grinning from ear to ear. The guy can't help but break up laughing and my bag went thru without being searched.

I remember when flying used to be fun but did you know:

Border security can seize your laptop, cell phone or camera with no suspicion or explanation.

Many airports use scanners that conduct a virtual "strip search" of passengers.

There are over one million names on the terrorist watch list.

The TSA recently expressed interest in having every airline passenger wear "electro-muscular disruption" bracelets that could be used to shock passengers into submission.
