‘A year ago, Homeland Security gave security clearances to nine New York City fire chiefs and began sharing intelligence with them. Even before that, fire department personnel were being taught “to identify material or behavior that may indicate terrorist activities” and were also “told to be alert for a person who is hostile, uncooperative or expressing hate or discontent with the United States.”‘

I just read Fahrenheit 451 a few months ago, and while the author didn’t elaborate on the long slow process between firemen who put out fires and firemen who were thought police, I imagine in his head the first baby step was exactly like this…

Inappropriate like the 10 commandments hanging in courthouses, or taxpayer funds going to quasi-religious organizations, or like governmental organizations releasing propaganda to the public (hello FEMA staged press conference), or like the president lying his ass off over and over and over, leading our nation into a war in Iraq which has cost over a million lives so far?

Inappropriate like that?

Mastering the Republican art of damage control, by spinning the facts of your own egregious behaviour and applying it to your opponents:

“Pope Benedict, in a new encyclical released on Friday, said atheism was responsible for some of the “greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice” in history.”

Excuse me for a second, I snorted chocolate milk out my nose. After I cleaned up the mess, I started crying for the people slowly and agonizingly tortured to death over the years by Christians in the name of god. I believe I have myself back together, finally…
