House of Representatives to add another 500 pages to your phone bill

President Bush, seen here talking on the only phone in the U.S. that's not tapped.

Inexplicably, the Democratically controlled House has passed FISA (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, not FISA the international rowing federation); they capitulated to President Bush and have given immunity to myriad telecommunications companies who've been spying on us for the past few years. That wouldn't be so bad if our phone bills were 40% less and weren't 26 pages long, single spaced with entire lines of billing details that read "$0.00."

Now that the House has let these telephone giants off the hook, what other ridiculous charges will you be seeing on your next 600-page phone bill? We have an idea.
