President Bush applauded both major parties on Wednesday. "This vital intelligence bill will allow our national security professionals to quickly and effectively monitor the plans of terrorists outside the United States," he said, "while respecting the liberties of the American people."

"This bill will help our intelligence professionals learn who the terrorists are talking to, what they're saying, and what they're planning," he went on. "It will ensure that those companies whose assistance is necessary to protect the country will, themselves, be protected from lawsuits for past or future cooperation with the government."

1. As they say in Holland:
"Lach als je gekist wor!"

(Laugh as you are laid in your coffin!")

All those people with immunity can now testify against him.

3. K&R Americans can be proud of their leaders. They passed this vital intel bill over the votes of
a majority of the Democratic members of congress.

Good for you, America! And good for your leaders!
