22. August, 2003 - back to it

It was a pretty good birthday on Wednesday. I didn’t make it to the museum during the day, choosing to nap instead. In the evening, I went out to Whitey’s World Famous Saloon with a couple friends and everything went pretty well except for the part where there were a few more birthday whiskeys bought for me than I really needed, leading to spending most of yesterday trying to feel human again.

Ashcroft Blasts Efforts to Weaken Terrorism Law, saying that to weaken the USA-PATRIOT Act would senselessly imperil American lives and American liberty, and it would ignore the lessons of Sept. 11. But to keep that law on the books ignores the lessons of 1773-1789.
Ashcroft Touts Patriot Act, saying it’s very useful and completely Constitutional. Schyeah, and I’ve got monkeys flying out of my butt. Maybe it’s time to consider some Bill of Rights Enforcement.
