Getting to know you, getting to know all about you

The "U.S" Senate will be voting tomorrow to approve the Bush criminal regime's legalization of spying on you and me. They would be voting today, but they will be attending the funeral of former senator Jesse Helms, who once wrote "Your tax dollars are being used to pay for grade school classes that teach our children that cannibalism, wife-swapping, and the murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior."

Barack Obama and John McCain will be voting for the bill

Glenn Greenwald has a great post about the vote in Salon. If you click on the image above, you can read the ad that is in the Washington Post today. There's a lot of buzz on the Web about this bill, and about the strange complicity of virtually the entire "U.S" Senate with the the Bush criminal regime. One of the few exceptions, I'm proud to say, is Russ Feingold of "Wisconsin." Among of the sites leading the charge to oppose this bill is Firedoglake.

Postscript: The law passed, 69-28. Obama voted for it. McCain didn't show up to vote. Read about it here and here. But the road goes on forever. Here's something we all can do. This too. Here's another.
