#1 The Proposal requests a bid covers allowing this project to last eight years.

#2 I suspect Barry O can be a mean SOB when he wants to. At least as mean as his fugly wife. Going to get ugly as things continue to go south for him.

#4 The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) has discovered a secret White House project to harvest personal date from social networking websites like facebook and twitter.

Critics of 'data mining' during the Bush years will be as vocal as their counterparts who were against the war are today, when it was Bush's war. It's about power, baby.

#5 Rather than analyzing comments and tag lines, they could get a clear picture by looking at the daily tracking poll to see their problem - most Americans do not like what they are doing. They could also turn on talk radio and find out why they have a problem.

Except that this data mining is not about terrorism, nor is it being done by an intelligence agency of any kind. This was commissioned by the Office of the White House and the information being gathered is being Classified. This is a blatant attempt at developing a database of individuals who dislike the current administration, most likely for later use in 'trials' or justifications of actions taken against them.

This type of thing encourages me to never use Facebook, Myspace, etc. Since my job depends on .gov money I may stop posting at the few sites I participate in.

#8 Another good reason for people to keep their internet footprint to a minimum.

Perhaps it's time to start exchanging ideas via privately owned shipping companies.
