Say Hello to...
[Ed. note: I originally misreported this blog's name as "Taking It Personally". It however was added to the blogroll by its correct name and I've amended it here. So much for "smart pills" - at least, I should never consume those that boast "President Bush couldn't work a day without these beauties!" ::cough::]
Take it Personally.
They seem to offer a lot of good stuff, including this from Raw Story about how the NSA is lobbying the Senate to repeat its own vetted, PR talking points (luffly):
<> we are SO far off the rails in the u.s...The National Security Agency has taken the unusual move of sending members of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee a list of "approved talking points" regarding its warrantless eavesdropping program, RAW STORY has learned.
No examples are given in the document.
Some of the talking points urge Senators to imply that they have personal knowledge of plots foiled by the wiretap program, or that the Senators--seven of whom responded by writing the NSA a letter blasting the move--had other personal knowledge that the program was legal or necessary.
"I have personally met the dedicated men and women of the NSA," one point reads.
"The country owes them an enormous debt of gratitude for their superb efforts to keep us all secure."
"It has detected plots," reads another, "that could have resulted in death or injury to Americans both at home and abroad."
it's hard to express outrage when your outrage meter looks like salvador dali's painting, the clock explosion...
