Kissing freedom of speech buh-bye
Outrage level (scale of 1-10): 14 (but not because of the dude being arrested, read on.......)
Listening to the Young Turks on Air America today, they had this little gem of a story: Freedom is on the march (Freedom of speech, not so fast)
Why isn't this splashed all over Fox and CNN and MSNBC? Do citizens need to know that if they dare to speak out against their leadership in a very civilized manner, they will be arrested in front of their 7 year old son on his way to piano lessons? This is why I am level 14 outraged.
Do citizens need to know that they government can arrest them, hold them indefinitely, and never need to tell them what they are being charged with, who is bringing these charges against them, not allow legal counsel, and what evidence is being used against them?
The answer is NO! Instead, Sean Hannity needs to bring up the name of Monica when talking about Foley saying she was 19 when she gave the bj. Hey Sean.....she was 22, but I guess there is no difference between consensual bjs and pedophilia. Slap on the wrists for Foley when Clinton was impeached. God Bless America and Sean Hannity. I hope that the GOP will take good care of the media attention stealing Foley. They owe it to him.
Today is a day where you are supposed to leave your job, school, not buy anything, and participate in protesting this regime.

I applaud their efforts but I doubt it will do any good.
On a more personal note, today marks 3 years since my Uncle John passed away and we all still miss him dearly. 3 Queens!
