We're from the government and we're here to spy on, errrr, help you


Bush Administration to Propose System for Monitoring Internet

If you thought Carnivore was a good idea, you'll love his big brother.

Has the government ever been granted more power than it needs and NOT abused it? Cases in point: interring Japanese-looking prisoners during WWII, using the FBI to spy on political enemies, McCarthism, etc.

Our nation should be ruled by law, not by men.

"It took three hacking programs less than a second -- 200 milliseconds to be exact -- to find the password to the school's computer, Reid said. It was the school secretary's name: Silvia."

Alanis in concert -- Toronto

It was a very good show. I'm amazed she was as dead-on as she was. Quite a talented young woman.

I didn't think she would attempt "Uninvited" live as it is such a difficult song, but the results were very impressive. I was hoping to hear "Flinch", but she had other ideas.

Had 7th row seats, great view, even if 4 annoying bitches behind us talked to one another through the entire show. Memo to you annoying whores in the 8th row, seats 38-41: it's a concert. Watch the fucking performance and shut your damn pie-holes. I came to listen to a show, not hear about how Marcus and Jane are going to elope on New Year's Eve. Fucking ingrates.

Also, Alanis...babe. You're a great singer, great song-writer, but you are *not* a guitar player. You have a very pretty, sparkley gold guitar, but I don't need to see or hear you strap it on and play 2 chords over and over. Don't pretend to be a guitarist. You're not.

Setlist:
