What about George?

So, Prez Bush, the leader of arguably the most powerful country in the world thought kept secret records of communications of people thought to be involved in terrorist activity.
The New York Times sat on the story for a year before releasing it.
Of course, Bush defended the move, saying it only monitored activity within the US and that thanks to the Times, the government's cover is blown.
I guess nothing is beyond the scope of probing into the lives of citizen's in the interest of national security.
And his response? As long as junior is in power, he said the program will continue.
It's scary to think you can justify spying on people and begs the question, 'How many other covert operations are currently underway that only Bush and his cronies are privy to?'

I think I have Christmas pretty much under control this year, which is good, because loathe being at the mall. The people and vehicle traffic gets worse each year.

I watched a movie called Beijing Bicycle (2001) last night. It focuses on two teenage boys in the throes of love and independence; one is a bike carrier and the other is student. Minimal dialogues make it easier to watch for those who dislike sub-titles.
