#1 Why are people posting articles over two years old?

#2 It's pretty funny that the Sydney Morning Herald, Australia's version of al-Guardian (although Rupert Murdoch-owned), uses the Stasi in analogy. The fact is that the Stasi, like its predecessor the Gestapo - and the numerous ex-Gestapo operatives who staffed it, used to torture people to death and execute people who merely spoke out against the Honecker regime. SMH is out there in moonbatland.

#3 Sorry about the old date, should've checked first. Oh, well, a nice bit of paranoia anyway.

#5 It does make a good reality check, though. Here it is, two years later, and as anyone can see we're living in lockdown, with secret police on every corner...

#6 Actually, Fred, the Bush administration outsourced the work. I'm just waiting for my Green Card, then I'll be off to start loitering at my assigned street corner in downtown Fargo. I gather from my Operator that the White House was glad the Kerry Team didn't get wind of this project. You know how John Edwards gets into a flap about this sort of thing...

#10 In New York State, you can call the County Board of Health and report witnessing people in bars and taverns drinking beer and smoking cigarettes!

The bar can then be fined and/or shut down.

"First they came for the smokers..."

#13 ZF the SMH is owned by John Fairfax & Sons, not by News Ltd (Rupert Murdoch) You are right about them being moonbats tho...
An eg. When I was in Sydney last May, reading my fathers SMH, it had a breathless little gossip item about Condi Rice having a slip of the tongue and referring to GWB as "my husband" God knows where that came from.
