FISA, DOJ and Pigeons
Last comments on the FISA bill – this is putting a post it note on the bill of rights and adding the words “except if we get scared”. Appalling.
And of course it isn’t even about the terrorists – never has been – I still remember that prior to the Republican National Convention here in NYC the group Quakers for Peace was on the watch list.
It’s always about using the power of the government on your political enemies.
Speaking of which Department of Justice documents reveal that one of the creeps Mr. Gonzo brought along with him when he was made attorney general spent all her time screening applications like a political Commissar in the soviet union, the only difference being she was looking for signs of left wing leanings.
It’s a perfect example of a) the lunatic mindset of the W years and b) what kind of a mess the next president is going to have to deal with.
Now for one thing none of these applications were for permanent i.e. non political appointments so this is flagrantly illegal and two – not a lot of hippies are going to be applying to work at the department of Justice in the first place.
And long term it means that raving right wing fruitcakes are going to imbedded in the DOJ like ticks on a hound.
Meantime the Mets won a game last night – before the start of it one of the announcers who was clearly reaching for something to say said “it’s interesting that in the entire 46 year history of the Mets they have never been swept by the team with the worst record in baseball” Fortunately Keith pointed out that for many of those years the Mets were the ones with the worst record in baseball.
Also we are told that the managers of the Wimbledon Tennis Club will stop shooting pigeons that nest all about the club at the urging of the British arm of PETA. Actually I know lots of New Yorkers who would willing kill the damn things with rocks and sticks if they were asked. City pigeons have been described “Rats with wings” and are one of the reasons I wear a hat most of the time when I’m walking in my neighborhood (I live near an elevated – which aside from getting me into the city and back home serves as a Pigeon high rise.
Actually I don’t have quite the hatred some folk have towards them – and indeed the Male pigeon mating dance – puffed out chest – spinning about – is amusing if for no other reason than the Male isn’t very fussy – if one female rejects him he’s off again after another one saying “ hey Babeee! Hey Babeee! I have a Porsche! I have a Porsche!”( well not really but it sounds like that to me) and what really amuses me is that the males keep this up long long after the brief mating season is over.
Well enough about Pigeon sex.
Hope to see you tonight at the gig.
Peace Love Hey Babee!
