There just has to be a way to blame this Bush blunder on Hillary.

Nice poem.

I didn't think this administration could shock me, but $164 million for incompetent contractors eyeballing passports out of curiosity?

They really should have better things to do, like make sure people don't lose three grand on a trip because they can't get the passports to the traveler on time, eh?

Ameirca should adopt the court jester system to keep our politicians in line. The job title would be: Court Jester of the United States. I nominate Mr. Hip to the first CJOTUSA.

[SUNZU7]

Hey Paul - get hip. It wasn't a vast right wing conspiracy - it was the same kind of idiots who snoop in celebrities passport files. Grow up and get a real job - quit feeding on all the idiots who eat this kind of nonsense up.

And of course you know this how? Because there was no investigation. We have no names of the people who did it or whether they have any political affiliations. So you're basing this on what? Trust? Because there isn't plenty of evidence of this kind of thing happening in government for the wrong reason under the Bush administration. From Plame-gate, to the US Attorney's Office scandal, to the prosecution of Governor Seigelman in Alabama, to the routing of all information passing through telecoms straight into a room where the NSA could record them. Nothing like that ever happens for the wrong reasons so we can just be sure it was nothing because you say so. Thanks, I might be concerned otherwise.

Thank you! Another Paul Hipp masterpiece.

On the subject of Barack Obama's privacy rights regarding the passport snooping of State Department contractors and staff, how about giving the, non-elitist, non-political candidate, average citizen some help.
Who is going to fire the law enforcement staff and judge who okayed the arrest warrant on Christina FourHorn, from Sterling, Colorado, who was mistakenly arrested while taking a shower at home and detained for 5 days in jail because her name was similar to someone wanted by the police. Who is being arrested for violating her civil rights? Who is being kicked off the force for not conducting a thorough investigation before turning this poor women's life upside down.
She never had any other trouble with the law. Her name came up on the "police database" which holds all our drivers license info, and because her last name looked like the actual offender, local law enforcement thought it best to run right over and take her into custody. Oops, sorry-you have no rights!

[arevolutionofone]

There's an article about her in the Denver Post. It looks like she'll get her day in court, which she well deserves. The detective in the case should be fired. The name was spelled differently, wrong state, wrong weight, wrong age. Sherlock Holmes he was not.

AGREED

[cordier]

Thanks Paul. That had a Dr. Seuss quality of wonderment about it.

[arevolutionofone]

I always thought Dr. Suess would have been better if he had a little bit of an edge.

[nastyvirus]

Hipp confuses the Pentagon with a few political administration hacks. This was just stupid snooping around, not some plot to deny Obama's right to privacy.

[arevolutionofone]

How do you know before we know who they are and what their affiliations are? And what about the fact that a contractor, not a government employee can do this to a candidate for president 3 times and it has to come out in the press before upper management has a clue? If there was wrongful intent, and we don't know yet there wasn't,. how would a system as poorly designed as this stop it?

[sunshineejc]

Paul....Right on....How can you trust a liar.

Notice their attempt to marginalize this by spreading the breach to all three candidates. This serves to divert the focus away from Obama and relegate the breach to a more unimportant status. This type of manipulation and lying is typical of this Administration when they seek to gloss over embarrassing misbehaviour such as this.

[dreamgypsy]

Brilliant!!!! and should be aired on every TV station in these United States of America!

If there IS NO PRIVACY...

how *exactly* do you think REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT will take place?

The Thieves of Virtue: legislating morality undermines representative government.
http://thiscanadian.typepad.com/this_canadian/2008/03/the-thieves-of.html

really, VICE is contextual:
* gender
* ethnicity
* age
* race...

all pay a part in morals. but VICE, should never be *criminalized*, especially in a nation where PRIVACY has been abolished.

Who is PERFECT ENOUGH to represent THE PEOPLE or a populist reform when there is neither privacy nor the Will to preserve privacy in society?
Who stands *for the People* when Money & Power exert corrosive controls to extend their oppression & corruption?

Nobody is immune to *vice* as VICE is about how ONE PERSON privately & personally determines *how to enjoy their own body*... Naked Truth: Civil Rights & CNN coverage of "F.B.I. biometric database - 'Server in the Sky'"
http://thiscanadian.typepad.com/this_canadian/2008/02/cnn-coverage-fb.html

...& THAT is how THE MORAL MAJORITY ensured Money & Power will kill representative government for The Peoples who seek JUSTICE, Freedom & Human Rights.

That is how the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & corruption... ensure that YOU have no REPRESENTATIVE Gov't.

There is no WE in Corruption

[wrabbitt]

I was wondering when the next diversion away from the issues would come along. well looks like its here. The war, the economy, crumbling education system, taxes 100% more than the houses are worth, unless you have lots of money then you don't pay anything. Lets see Hillarys tax forms from 2005,2006,2007. I don't care what Obamas minister thinks or says he ain't running for any office. Again America gets the short end of the stick the youth vote is wasted McCain came over on the Mayflower. Government is for the old and feeble minded, oh wait thats congresses requirements for permanent jobs.

[IDIOTA]

Great poem.

[k8k9]
