What is it

with Texas governors that they have such a penchant for invading other people's privacy?

Rick Perry, the Governor of Texas, is asking the Texas Legislature for the ok to expand the wiretapping authority for Texas lawmen.

They already have that authority for murder and drug trafficking, but He'd like to expand that.

Now, I'm not all that excited about people involved in kidnapping being given an advantage. But, this starts out as being a good idea for one thing, so how about this or this or...maybe this? Pretty soon, all of our phones are being tapped for whatever political reason at any time. Think not? Remember Richard Nixon? He had the FBI tapping the phones of Peace Activist's. And now we know that Bush is doing the very same thing. There was the report of the folks (Quaker's) being infiltrated, and everyone knows what a militant group they are. And now there is a report that several groups in the Seattle area are being wiretapped. The story is in the Seattle P-I. One of those groups is called the "Raging Grannies." WTF? These mature women dress up in outlandish dress and sing funny protest songs. Can anyone give me any reason in the world why these women would be the target of the FBI? Or, any other spy outfit? Your McCarthyism is showing George.

So, maybe there is something in the Governor water down there in Texas that has this effect. And after a certain amount of it, you start to get paranoid and begin wiretapping all of the phones of everyone you can get to. That still leaves Nixon doesn't it. Shit, it migrated from California to Texas. Someone needs to start monitoring Arnold. Or, maybe it's just Republicans.



Dear Wingnuts;
