Now we're all Charlie Brown

Some days it feels like I wasn't born with enough capacity for outrage. 'Cuz this one's a doozy. A federal appeals court has ruled that those suing the NSA for its illegal eavesdropping do not have sufficient legal standing to bring the almighty NSA to justice.

Now, unless I'm woefully under-informed, to prove damages, you have to provide evidence that you were being illegally wiretapped.

Seriously now, what do you think the odds are that any-old-one can obtain the evidence in the first place? Yep--you guessed it. About the same as the likelihood of Osama bin Laden dropping by Oktoberfest for a brat and a Leinie's.

Forget the football, Charlie Browns: It's time to aim for Lucy. Remember this next November. Tattoo it on the insides of your eyelids if necessary. But do not, Not, NOT let the b@$+@rd$ who confirmed these police state sympathizers stay in office.
