When Jeffersons Ghost came to be
Edited on Thu Jun-03-10 02:48 PM by Jeffersons Ghost
Within weeks of 9/11, the USA PATRIOT ACT went into effect. It was a 126 page document that no one in congress "took the time to read" except Russ Feingold. It destroyed the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution. After adopting the alias Jeffersons Ghost (without proper punctuation) in a chat room I sent that patriot my very first email to an elected official but not the last, I swear by god. They likely count for something in DC.

On edit: One Congressperson to another, "I got 23,000 emails about prosecuting Big Oil Bosses for the Gulf Catastrophe, so what we've got Diebold?"

2. Damned those days sucked. :(
One obscenity after another from that administration. :mad:

Hell Hayh No Fury arose from the stolen election of 2000 -- Hell Hath No Fury like a Voter Scorned.

Sadly, there are a few too many reasons for the Fury these days, even with a "D" in office.

3. First, thanks for your nod to Russ...
...best damned Congressperson in America.

Secondly, is there a source for the "we've got Diebold" statement? I'd live to have that.

8. but he might be a spy....
He's made lots of other quotes associated with CIA drones and such...

Some say he's a Postal Worker. Others say he's a Census Taker. I think that Mr. US Official is is spy but feel free to use his name. Everyone else does. BBC, NYT, the Post you name um.'
