Boston Globe: "Little Brother is Watching"

BRIAN MCGRORY
Somebody's watching

By Brian McGrory, Globe Columnist | March 31, 2006

This is a very bad sign.

Actually, check that. It's a funny sign: a mysterious billboard, sitting atop a parking garage
nestled between Fenway Park and the Massachusetts Turnpike, showing nothing more than George Bush's
eyes and the phrase, "Little Brother is Watching."

The board advertises a website, www.littlebrotheriswatching.com, which in turn questions the legality
of Bush's domestic wiretapping program. The site also conducts a survey, provides links to various opinion
pieces about the domestic espionage, and offers T-shirts for sale.

And now the state government -- the Republican state government, it's worth noting -- wants
the billboard down.

11. holy MOLY are those idiots on that Globe discussion board STOOOOPID!
here's an example, based on a post regarding who was responsible for the imfamous Mission Accomplished sign, which anybody with half a brain KNOWS was done out of the WH:

this is just TOO funny

''Last time i checked Bush argued that the ship's crew was responisble for putting up that sign when the government got criticised for it. But that's probably another one of those so-called 'facts' from the liberal media.''

last time you checked was at Newsmax, you dumb turd. last time you checked was LONG before the real story came out. Last time you checked was before you started taking your double strenght MORAN pills. jackass
