Thank you Fuzzy. I must tell you that Dog Bytes and I waited up last night to enjoy a very special fireworks display as Deep Impact smashed into Tempel1 right on time and right on target; generating a spectacular debris cone. Congratulations to NASA and JPL on a job well done. THE MOTHER OF FOOLS IS ALWAYS PREGNANT I'M TROLLING FOR FOOLS. THIS MUST BE THE PLACE! |

I'm disappointed that NASA didn't have the foresight for the fly-by section to squirt the snow cone with cherry syrup. Oh well, maybe next time... Account frozen... |

Now Let's Go Celebrate a Government 4th of July As we go out to celebrate our freedom this 4th of July, let's go over a few things to make your celebration a success. Before leaving home make sure you check the color coded Homeland Security alert status. Be especially careful if it is orange or red. Don't worry about yellow. If it's not orange or red it's always yellow. Don't use any illegal fireworks in your 4th Celebration. It is for your own safety. The founding father's implemented a government to protect you from yourselves. Didn't they? Besides, fireworks are explosive devices and you might be considered a terrorist with weapons of mass destruction. And although the government can't find any in Iraq, you can rest assured they will find them in your car trunk. But don't worry, getting arrested, imprisoned indefinitely without formal charges, and a 5 year wait before the secret tribunal trial per the Patriot Act is a breeze. It's that secret summary execution that should make you nervous. Make sure you are buckled up in your seat belts, there will be roadblocks and checkpoints to make sure you comply. Remember, It's for the children. If you are an airline employee, lighten up for the holiday, you can always look for a job tomorrow. Maybe you could transfer over to a Federal Airport Security Screener job. There's a big demand for those jobs and you don't even have to be smart. If you are a Haliburton employee, then celebrate, you probably have a raise coming from the Iraqi contract windfall. If celebrating on any public property, make no mention of religious ideas. Government is God there. You will be aprehended. Have your papers ready as you approach the holiday police checkpoints. Don't criticize the President, or any other government officials, you might be in violation of the Patriot Act and may be considered a possible terrorist. Don't mention the Constitution in any court, or you could be held in contempt. If your children get out of line this holiday, do not discipline them, or they may be kidnapped by the Dept. of Social Services and held hostage until you receive approved psychological therapy and are deemed acceptable. Show compassion this Independence Day by bringing an illegal immigrant to your holiday celebration, or go hug a tree. If an election is occurring in your locality within the next 90 days, do not talk about or publicly support any candidate, as that is no longer lawful. Keep your mouth shut. If an officer asks to search your vehicle at the "seat belt" checkpoint, do not be belligerent and demand a search warrant. Standing up for your 4th amendment rights is anti-social and not in tune with the new American way. Are you with them "terrist folks" or something? Do not get upset when the searching officer will not help you pick up your belongings that he has strewn all over the highway as he searched your vehicle. It is not in his job description and complaining will get you charged with obstruction of justice. Keep your guns at home. You are not going hunting and besides, What on earth do guns have to do with American Independence? Better yet, turn your guns in to the authorities to let them know that you are a true patriotic American. Better yet, just STAY at home. BUT do not assume that you are safe, because you are at home. If some government bureaucrat shows up at your home, he will probably be flashing a badge at you. This makes him look like a constitutional law enforcement officer. He may even be armed. DO NOT ask to see a warrant, and then tell him to leave if he does not have one. They will put a siege up around your house. If you do not come out soon enough, they may invade, with guns drawn, or even set your house on fire. If you are counting on your congressman to protect you, understand that the average congressman is ALSO afraid to resist. For more information, do a Google search using keywords like "George Hanson" , "James Trafficant" or "Larry McDonald". If celebrating at the Mall in Washington DC. you are probably safe as the Mall is now monitored by hundreds of surveillance cameras, watched by federal security forces. Don't do anything that you wouldn't want them to see. Bring lots of cash with you, there will be many taxes, fines, and fees to pay as you "Celebrate your Freedoms" this day. Do not leave home without your driver's license, social security card, birth certificate, medicare card, medical records, W-2 Form, and two others forms of ID. You may be asked for them at the police checkpoints. Better yet, get RFID micro-chipped, and avoid the hassle of carrying around your papers. Oh yeah, bring your library card, the FBI may ask you for it. Do not put any "anti-government" bumper stickers on your car. Especially not anything about the "Right to Keep and Bear Arms". Police have been trained by the FBI in "bumper sticker profiling". This attracts their attention at the checkpoints, and makes you look like a terrorist. With regard to "bumper sticker profiling" you should be especially aware of the fact that "They will get my gun, when they pry it from my cold dead fingers" is no longer mere semantics. Google RUBY RIDGE, we learned that they WILL kill you to take your guns. ALSO, be careful not to have any unauthorized THOUGHTS. There are now serious penalties for "thought crime". Be aware that "civil forfeiture" laws make it possible to take anything that you own, by alledging that it was "intended" to be used for the commission of a crime. This could include transporting, or storing, a gun. If "civil forfeiture" proceedings are initiated against you, then you will have the burden of proof to show that your thoughts were in compliance with government standards. If traveling by air, this Independence Day, do not give the airport screeners a hard time. They are feeling you up, and molesting your wife and daughter for the security of America. If you complain you could be arrested. You don't support those darn "terrist folks", Do you? Keep an eye on your fellow Americans as you celebrate this 4th of July. If you see anything supicious, take notes so that when you get home you can call and report them to the Homeland Security Office. And remember you are not a "nosey snitch", you are a great "American Patriot". Do not mention the signers of the Declaration of Independence this 4th of July. Just mentioning these white subversive terrorists is not popular and could get you in big trouble. Besides what do these guys have to do with the 4th of July anyway? Do not leave home without one or more little plastic American flags made by political slaves in those sweatshops in Communist China. We haven't made those in th USA in years. Make sure you have one flying from the antenna of your vehicle. You don't want to seem un-American do you? Do not have a copy of the Declaration of Independence with you as it advocates the overthrow of a tyrannical government. It is a terrorist document and will be confiscated at the holiday police checkpoint. Same advice for the Constitution. And remember, as you leave home for your 4th of July outing, that the second you stepped out of your door that you probably broke hundreds of federal, state, and local laws that you are probably totally unaware of, but if you toe the line, you will not be charged. Don't even think about taxes on this great day. That 50% that the various governments from federal down to local confiscate of your income at the threat of imprisonment, loss of property or at the point of a gun should not even cross your mind as you revel in your freedom. After all, April 15th is a long way off. And whatever you do, do not let on that you really know that true freedom died a long time ago in America, just have fun for the day and then go home and stick your head back in the sand and pretend America is not becoming a socialist police state. Now go out there and celebrate your freedom, and liberty, and have a great sanitized, politically correct, and government approved and authorized Independence Day! I hope this message gets past the Department of Homeland security approved internet filter. How else can they protect us from unauthorized thought? Now go out and celebrate your freedom, and have a great Independence Day! |

Absolutely hilarious post. Like most Americans, I'm either too numb or stupid to care anymore; myself being both the former and the latter. The current party in power always campaigns about wanting less government in peoples lives, states rights, individual responsibility, property rights, etc. is riding us American's harder than any (blue) donkey in a Tijuana side street show. The real joke is that we are actually trying to export this form of "Freedom & Democracy!" Account frozen... |

HAHAHAHAHA Waaaahhhh I dont know wether to laugh or cry but welcome to australia guys, we have never had any rights but the masses thought they did (because of american tv i might add) that you are innocent till proven guilty but under the wesminster legal system we have, the burden of proof is on the defendant. Our gun laws prohibit the defence of liberty in fact they even say it in the handout package. And we dont pick who we vote for, the current government dose. And our government sent us to war even tho a national poll said over 80% of the population were against it. But hey at least you get a BBQ on the 4th of july australia day isnt even a public holiday any more and our government is about to abolish industrial relations laws so there will soon be no public holidays at all.. |

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Happy Birthday America. |

What happened to PZ, some male walrus took amourous attachment to him? Spam swamped dialup. You should really attend the staff meetings. Or perhaps he attached himself to an unwilling male walrus. We may never know. me@rescam.org |
