Hey there Mr. Orwell, how ya doin???

Two more reasons why the "Patriot Act" is a gargantuan assbasket of pigshit.

Revised Patriot Act targets allergy, cold meds

Warning! Financial responsibility can lead to terrorism


By the time Chimpy Mcwunderboi is out of office, living in this country is going to be the equivalent of working in one of those stripper peepshows. Under surveillance by creepy control freaks who don't need to know about my shit 90% of the time. Who like to make life even more difficult just because they can.

WTF is up with that? OH NOES!!! I'm buying decongestants!!! Seriously, I'm an obvious threat to the Government who needs to register with the local authorities and report my location every 28 days. Because what? I might branch out into analgesics!!!... wait. Too late. I also "abuse" Excedrine migraine for the same reason. Oddly enough, I'm not such a big fan of sinus migraines. I know, weird huh?

"It's not such a big deal, all you have to do is present ID and sign something." That's entirely the point. Presumption of guilt right off the bat. Why do I have to present ID and sign for doing something LEGAL? "But it's to stop those evil meth guys. Don't you want to help with that? Don't you support the war on drugs?" Frankly, no. Not when it erodes even more of our privacy from the freaking government. There are enough hassles in life, without having to stand in line for 15 minutes and haul out ID to purchase a HARMLESS decongestant. The war on drugs is a joke, and last I checked, there is NO REASON to make psuedoephedrine Schedule One. And while we're at it, bring back ephedrine already. that's why an intelligent set of lawmakers created the concept of warning labels. Not only do they warn the dumbasses, but they provide entertaining reading for the rest of us.

Let's talk about fiscal responsibility for a minute. You'd think that those in the governemnt, those who write our laws would think that this is a goo-- shit, I can't even type that with a straight face. Seeing as how our Treasury Secretary is petitioning to raise the $8.2 trillion national debt limit, I guess reducing debt isn't high on their list of "things we give out gold stars for" is it? So getting dinged by the govt for paying off your credit cards should come as no surprise. Am I senile, or wasn't the National Debt nearing about zero under Clinton? Thank YOU, Chimpy Mcwunderboi!!!! Excuse the hell out of us not-rich-enough-to-shit-gold-bricks if we wish to reduce our interest payments to your buddies. BTW, your war? You pay for it. kthanxbye!

gah.

Decongestants leave large clear sinuses, which can become hiding grounds and spiderholes the sundry enemies of the states. Remember: blowing your nose gives aid and comfort to terrorists.

Left out a preposition from my comment: spiderholes for the sundry enemies.
