As usual, Jon Stewart does a briliant take on both the NDAA and the Iran drone.

I don't see how he can veto something with 93:7 support.

Seven Senators of the people and for the people:

* Sen. Thomas Coburn (R, OK)
* Sen. Thomas Harkin (D, IA)
* Sen. Mike Lee (R, UT)
* Sen. Jeff Merkley (D, OR)
* Sen. Rand Paul (R, KY)
* Sen. Bernard Sanders (I, VT)
* Sen. Ron Wyden (D, OR)


That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Freedom is Important because People are Important



Hello,

Obama has cleverly absolved himself from vetoing a bill that has an un-vetoable majority.

I wonder which Monster will be the one to use all of these governmental powers to savage the population.

Anthony,

Well said.

I suspect the president that will try it first is this one. I'm dreading the circulation of the concept "Christian extremists" but I feel it's already circulating, allowed into the consciousness by the marriage of those who allowed the term "Muslim extremists" to filter in, and socialism.

I fear also the concept that by away food from christian communities is an acceptable means of disagreeing with them. I suspect the first victims will be the FLDS.

My overall nietzschian feeling is that the situation will persist until the military of the predator drone and related automated warfare is successfully challenged and that said pain reaches all the way back through the political nervous system to hit those who really pull the strings, which will be the only thing to make them afraid to continue pulling them.

I also can't escape the image that this parallels where all of us are Sarah Connor.
