2. You mean THE Protect America Act? Oh, shit! I forgot
to wake up terrified this morning!

What are we going to do now that we're no longer safe from the imaginary terrists?

3. I had a terrorist come to the door last night
to inform me that my days of safety and security were over and I should blame my congressman. He said there may be an unfortunate incident with a silo east of town soon.

5. My ass exploded last night.
But I had put that on the bean with bacon soup. Didn't think to check for terrorists. I figured they'd be too big. And the worst of it is I'll never know. There's no way my wife will do THAT recon.

6. Yes, you're right--Thank you, Nancy.
I certainly haven't hesitated to complain when you didn't appear to be doing your job. Thanks for finally demonstrating some REAL leadership!

24. Neon red. For the current state of fear, a new, more ALERT color was needed.

13. Is that why it's s quiet around here?
Maybe everybody already ran into the hills. Pretty nice down here in the valley.

I hope the library left the doors unlocked. I've got a book waiting for me.

16. Let me get this straight...
Now, before the feds can wiretap our phone calls and snoop on our Internet traffic, they have to get a real warrant from a real judge, or they could go to prison?

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!

17. I'm going to miss you listening to my phone calls without a warrant, Agent Mike.
You always helped me get Pure Evil Manipulator off of the phone faster (a relative who shall go nameless); the phone would just go dead during the middle of one of her bizarre rants.

A toast to Agent Mike!

:toast:

19. One came to my door last night pretending to sell cookies.
But the boxes she showed me were empty. That was my first clue.

Then it started raining. She wanted to borrow my phone to call her handler.

She inadvertently mentioned her handler's code name "Brown Owl". That was another clue.

I didn't dare let her use my phone because I knew it wasn't being monitored anymore.

I told her to go away right now. She wouldn't. She tried to pretend to be fearful of the thunder. I knew straight away this was a lie, because terrarists like loud bangs.

I then risked my life by turning my back on her. But I had my family to think of too. I got my gun and she finally saw reason and fled into the darkness.

That was when I discovered it was worse than I thought. The phone rang, my wife answered and it only took them a few seconds to indoctrinate her. The terrarists had gotten to my wife and no one would ever know because of those pussies in Washington.

That's why I'm being forced to use my good friend Mahomet's computer to write this. Great fellow. Loves fishing. Doesn't care about them stupid regulations about dynamiting fish. Though he has to make his own these days.

I sure hope someone makes those pansies up in Washington see sense soon, or we'll be in real trouble.

20. And thanks to Chris Dodd for his tireless work in the Senate, which raised awareness even if
the rest of the Senate dropped the ball.

And thanks to KO, the EFF and others who have been actively engaged on this.

True patriots, all. :patriot:

22. well, the cat was rather fretful this morning
but his food dish was empty. Just like every other morning, come to think of it.

A hawk has moved into the neighborhood recently - I keep hearing it but haven't seen it. Other than that things seem to be pretty much the same here...wait, the paper has something about a bicycle race tomorrow with mebbe a bunch of furrners in it. Have to get more duct tape!

23. Terror, terror, terror, the psyche wards are overflowing with anxiety attack victims
Pharmaceutical companies are working overtime all week-end on the anti-anxiety meds.

Bush raised the national alert level to bright red, just in case massive hysteria incidents ensue.
