Guess what present our Dear Leader got two weeks ago! That’s right, easier power to declare martial law and seize control of National Guard troops over the objections of local and state authorities. Thus, one more important safeguard against abuse by the federal government goes by the wayside. So much for democracy and the rule of law. All hail The Decider, who is the Only One who can protect us from those evil terrists. Senator Patrick Leahy has summed up his objections to the bill. Read his protest for a good summary of how evil is truly done.

I suppose I should accept the fact that one day we will all be working for the Department of Defense. Or maybe we already are.
