The state slowly raises the temperature on the pot of water...

...hoping that we citizen frogs will not notice until it's too late. Yet another example of the fascistic tendencies of government leeching into our everyday lives is provided in the strange story of Aaron Heuser and his nightmarish trip aboard Amtrak.

It's as though these fascists want a civil war.

JeffS, I've been operating on the theory that they do for a while.

While it might just be happenstance, it's better to assume it's so.

It is the 21st century koan after all, is Obama malicious or stupid?


Paco, I really wish you would put a warning on the top of posts like this.
Something like, "Warning, this post may be hazardous to Veeshir's dog."

He doesn't understand why I keep kicking him.

How about...both?

I don't have a dog. Could I borrow yours?

Veeshir said...

rinardman, I left that out.

Malicioius, stupid or both?
It's much better than, If Obama shreds the Constitution and the media doesn't cover it, am I still screwed?


You'll have to get your own dog. I'd suggest something big and fluffy.

Related: why would the FBI be pursuing FIFA? Are we all to be subject to US law now? If so, what the hell is 'wire fraud'? Selling substandard metal?

Us rubes begin to understand why we haven't seen much of PACO enterprises' security division lately.
Their business model has been taken over by the Feds.

Bruce, here is "wire fraud" defined. Think of it as upgraded mail fraud.
