Birthers and beers? The "news" is fucking boring!
God what I wouldn't do for a highly controversial Congressional investigation of some kind.

Any ideas?

7. Do they contain real US-grown ingredients or were the ingredients half-American and half-German?

10. some interesting new outrage, on cnn..
cnn reported on the ALLEGED 7 American "terrorist-plotters" in N.C., arrested by fbi Monday..
they interviewed the Muslim wife & Mom, who said she was "tricked by the fbi".. This Woman who had lost a son in a car accident,some time before, said a neighbor & fbi informant(?) came to her door, covered in blood, & told her there was "another accident" & her husband & 2 sons were at the hospital.. she went to the hospital, was taken into custody, & interogated for hours. Hours she didn't know the status of her "injured" Family...allowing the fbi to search their Home, "unimpeded".
I am SOOO angry at this outrageous abuse...this is so wrong, on so many levels.
I've seen the interview twice, but don't know how to link it here..
& they are giving waay too much airtime to palin, & gates, imo.

13. I haven't heard much about this one yet.
Be it seems that every time they find American Muslims plotting against the state, it takes a lot of state plotting to "get" them.

16. exactly right! MY tho't, too!
I do find it particularly shocking, that they *knew* this Woman's son died in a car wreck, & then went to all the effort to show up at her door, "covered in blood", telling her her husband & 2 other sons were "in another accident" ... this is bad medicine...

11. or how 'bout this, from democracyNow?
Yesterday & today, reports on uncle sam infiltrating & 'spying' on individuals, in the US;
TALON & other resources used to 'investigate' & track the Quakers, Unitarian Universalists Churches..some of this we knew years ago, but Iraq Veterans Against War mentioned in these reports..
A few congress people looking into it, Barbara Lee, Conyers.

Ck out the article/transcripts at www.democracynow.org

Hmmm, wonder if those 7 accused in NC(in my prev. post) were set up by these 'infiltrators/instigators'? We know it's happened before.

17. & don't WE ALL feel so much SAFER..
& we are confident they put this much effort into infiltrating & finding osama, as well as investigating those who defiled OUR Constitution!
Please forgive my sarcasm..
I'm really feeling sad & angry about this stuff today.

15. I'm watching Martha Stewart on FOX...
