FeeBee folds only look like that in Hollyweird. If someone tries to pass one of those off on you to get you to do something, call the cops/feds and report an impostor. Under no circumstances let them "write their own search warrant, confiscate anything, access confidential records, or anything of that order.

Matter of fact, if any authority figure approaches you, refuse to talk to them until you have verified their identity - and not with a number they gave you! Then remember your right to stay silent.

But the truth is ...

It wasn't a joke.

For all those wackjob birthers captured on film wearing frilly lady blouses and triangle hats, there were thousands of ordinary people just living their lives, being regular, and not liking how their Republican Party had turned out. And even though Tea Party members tend to skew toward older, middle-class white guys, their overall demographics aren't that far from the rest of the country. Of course, regular people are about as riveting as dry toast, so they didn't get much screen time. Which is why it came as such a shock to everyone when 32 percent of Tea Party-affiliated candidates won their elections.


By focusing in on the assclowns the media painted a picture that not only wasn't accurate, but pretty much made constructive political discourse impossible. They didn't just fail to do their job -- they did the opposite of their job, and they've been doing it for years.




Well said.

Wow, that story about the elementary school girl is grim. Makes Anonymous seem rather star chamberish, doesn't it? Vigilantes need to be very very careful to be on the right side. Poor kid. Which is why due process is in the Constitution, of course....
