ATTENTION ATTENTION

This is the Thought Police, we demand you all end this now. On the next bill approving expenditure of millions of YOUR tax dollars for the study of "what side of the mouth people chew gum on", we have added a "Dream Police(thank you guys at Pfizer, we love you, raise your drug prices 10% for this)" and a new "internet obscenity law" rider.

That's right once the bill passes you cannot ever in public or on the net talk about obsecene dreams, a dislike for anything dealing with this administration and you must at least once a week e-mail your mothers.

That is all.

Again I am sorry but for me attempted humor sometimes can say what I want better than I. Especially when this is truly BS. They let people like Ken Lay and Enron and Adelphia and Worldcom execs cook books and cost investors millions and pension plans just walk away (yes, they send a few to jail but they were the low end token people), with the millions and yet, they'll fine people like Stern and Viacom out of the business. Makes sense to me, real criminals get off scott free. While people, who can easily be switched on or off by the push of a button or turn of a knob, get fined out of existence for saying a "dirty word or action" (as determined by a NON ELECTED board that can change what is decent at any time and without notice, all they need is 1 complaint) in a free speech country. Makes sense to me.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
