32. I get that from the actual legislation that Frank Lautenberg keeps proposing, dear.

He wants to make all the "names" on the BushCo "Terrorism Watch List" ineligible to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer.

I put "names" in quotes, because the watch list doesn't actually contain actual people, just names- and sometimes not even complete names- "T.Kennedy" for example.

And the DHS has admitted that no actual terrorism suspects are on that list, because then they could find our they're under surveillance by simply trying to fly from Point A to Point B.

No, the real suspects' names are kept off the list. So who's left? Anti-war protesters, Quakers, environmental activists, and 65,000 other assorted names or parts of names.

What due process is involved in getting one's name removed from this list? There isn't any.

But go ahead, keep clapping for Bush the Moron's assault on our liberties. It can only help me.
