"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
TSA Bars AK State Rep. Sharon Cissna From Flying
Everyone here knows how I feel about government officials. However, every now and then I have to give credit where credit is due. Well done, Ms. Cissna.

Right now, somewhere in America, a gang of jack-booted, ski-masked, heavily-armed police thugs are kicking in someone's door and sticking their hands in someone's private places. All across this great country, thousands, tens of thousands of us are being forced, at gunpoint, to urinate in front of strangers. For decades, the vast majority of Americans have not just tolerated, but supported, the raping of suspected drug users by government agents. To keep you safe from people who never, ever, posed any threat. Now YOUR bodies are being invaded. And I'm supposed to be outraged on your behalf? Why, because you're an elected official? I would laugh, but I'm way too angry.
