I beginning to see why George Carlin thinks the planet needs a collision with an asteroid!

I don't know if it's related but I caught a glimpse of them carting Cindy Sheehan off in hand cuffs today on the news.

Why can't i get anything i want here in America? Namely a Lady to ease my worried mind. But if i could, than i may not care about the stuff that causes WAR. Maybe Bush will send me a lady to keep me quiet.

With adg, you don't even have to be able to carry a tune do ya?
There is a real tough crowd to crack out there though.
Not many people i know, will listen to me because I'm not a success yet.
If they would just listen and think, it would be a peace of cake, just by words of mouth singing, "you should get anything you want..."

On a more careful read, it appears to be specifically targeting organizations such as the one recently taken to court in the Dallas area for funneling Muslim religious donations to terrorist groups. But it does say (bold added by me):

" any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense,

(i) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of:

(A) threatening the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq; or

(B) undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people;"

Given their propensity for using NewSpeak, I can see a march being defined as violence and the "peace or stability of Iraq," "economic reconstruction," and "political reform" as the American war effort.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think they could use this the way they could have even a year ago. The Dems have been spineless in too many ways this year, but I don't think a blatant use of this order in a purely free speech issue would go unchallenged. I hope.

The attorney general is poised to resign ! On Thursday there was an anti war protest on the Westboro, MA, green. Including members of the military and local law enforcement all holding up a multi colored "USA out of Iraq" banner. The Emporer truly has no clothes regardless of what meaningless executive orders he signs.

Leo! You're sending emails to Dubya! Yikes! Be very careful of what you say, man! Back in the early 70's a few of us Hippie-types found out that the "serial number" on the "One Hundred Dollar Bill" rolling papers was the White House phone number. A friend of mine gave it to his Dad (who was fed up with ol' Tricky Dick Nixon). His Dad then called the number and started ranting to whoever he got connected to and wound up being arrested for threatening Nixon, even though the guy was just venting his frustrations.
