    Dear Klobuchar

    One of Minnesota’s senators voted for the hack surveillance bill. I was pissed.

    How dare you capitulate to Bush in his demands that the 1978 FISA laws be rewritten to legalize the current administrations illegal unrestricted spying programs. The 4th amendment? Have you ever fucking read the thing?

    There you go.

    There comes a time when giving in to the demolition of constitutional protections can no longer be considered a matter of being weak or unthinking. Rather it must be considered complicity. Enough Already

    By making the crimes of Bush legal at his own behest, under his threats – to refuse your summer recess, and to ‘hold you responsible for whatever terrorist attacks may take place in the future – you’ve done little better than incriminate yourself. I’m pretty sure that at his inauguration he swore to uphold the constitution of the united states of america, and you the same. I don’t see how you can sleep at night, much less how you can sit in the chambers of the senate and pretend to be doing your job.

    But hey, maybe it’s a good thing. Who knows how many catastrophic bridge collapses this administration will be able to prevent through their unadvised and unsupervised surveillance programs. Who knows how many structural engineers they’ll be able to send to Azkaban\d\d\d I mean Guantanamo.

    The Azkaban reference is a bit much, but I thought it was funny.

    Book of photos taken one-a-day for a 90 day period from autumn to the winter solstice. The images themselves are online, but for want of things to put on my christmas list I went for the book. It was worth it.

    Google Maps - from: minneapolis mn to: elmo mt

    My family seems to think this is vacation – Minneapolis to western Montana in the car. Up early tomorrow morning, and stay a week, then drive back. Glacier National park is just a hop north, I hope to get out there for a hike or two, it’s great. Otherwise sitting around, reading, swimming in the big lake should make up my activity, I’ll keep the powerbook in my backpack.
