1. That's cute, but accurate. The first casualty of Snowden's leak is denial

that we are being spied on. That's a major victory, in itself.

2. Cheesus, get a friggin grip. So they are collecting the data. They say they dont really look at it.

Well unless they want to, and then they ask permission from the Kangeroo Court (FISA).

I really dont see the problem. If you are innocent and obey the powers in office, then you'll probably have no problem.

Can't let them get control of any of the levers of power. It would be cataclysmic. Armageddon even.

Cheesus. But I suppose you are right about the data. But it is a little unnerving when I am discussing maybe having pizza for dinner and get a call from Pappa John's saying they got my favorite in the oven. Yikes.

But's that's all small stuff. I just hope they dont find out about my affair with my best friends mom.

On edit: Oh shit!
