#1 Ahh...fine sausage is being made. It will be of excelent flavor, with just the rightr amount of spice, salt, sugar, and fat. I suggest that you avert the eyes while it's being made.

#2 The part I like the best about this whole fiasco is the standard anti-Bush anti-GOP line...the Patriot Act was Bad Law because none of the legislators read it before they passed it. And the intel reform bill is Bad Law because the legislators *did* read it before passing it, and decided it needed some tweaking. Bad Rethuglicans!

Hunter's doing the stand up thing, protecting the intel process priorities that saves US lives on the battlefield

#4 Clowns. The most obvious fixes-- tightening immigration and hiring real spies who can actually penetrate AQ et al-- are precisely the ones avoided. This is our democracy at its worst.

The only remedy here is strong leadership from Bush. Spend some of that capital, now.
