A good Attorney General and Secretary of Defense are going to uncover a lot of things that weren’t supposed to be going on, but were.

It will be a while before that happens.

i was reading about the process you have to go through to get off the list, or at least to get some kind of official id that says you’re not the person on the list. sounded like a real mess, the government gets you into one more of their databases, along with all kinds of identifying information about you, and still you’re not guaranteed a hassle-free life thereafter.

A recent case is when Catherine Stevens, the wife of Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska was pulled out because the male British singer, formerly know as Cat Stevens, is on the list. They apparently don’t even have sex or age indicated on the list.

And finally, the pathetic No Fly List. It turns out that even the blatantly partisan Washington Times finds the No Fly List worthy of ridicule, not just because of the 9,000 false positives that occur daily, but especially with the news that several flights have gone out without the promised Federal Air Marshalls because these same FAMs have found their names (along with everyone who goes by Mohammed or Ali) on the list and have been refused entry onto the planes they’ve been charged to protect.

You heard me. Because of this always-growing, all-consuming terrorist no-fly list, some of the people that are supposed to be on the plane to stop the terrorists on the plane are getting mistaken for suspected terrorists and being kept from getting on the plane.

Republicans vote down Mother’s Day. No, really!

I’m sure that will be known as *doing a Kerry*! LOL Since they actually voted for motherhood before they voted against it.

*shaking head*

Ermm… but since I’m NOT American… Happy Mothers Day to Mom’s everywhere! 😀

Does this mean I’ll be on the “No Fly List”… again? 😉 LOL
