From now on I am a "thinness-free person"

Eavesdropping on American citizens without a warrant is now a sign of FREEDOM, get it?

This reeks of classic Rove.

The AP — and therefore official mainstream media — wording for Bush/Cheney’s warrantless wiring taping program is suddenly the new and improved “warrant-free program” or alternatively, “warrant-free eavesdropping.”

Think about it. Warrantless wiring taping sounds as if what you did was without a warrant, which would make it illegal. Warrant-free just means you were unfettered by warrants. That sounds so much nicer, doesn’t it? Like sugar-free is superior to sugarless, or law-free is better than illegal.

And eavesdropping is what Lucy did to Ethel when she was trying to find out what Ricky was getting for her birthday. Wiring tapping…well, that makes makes you think of Watergate.

This is now the official lapdog media meme for the new police state -- it's not warrant-less, it's warrant-FREE! And FREE!! is good, right? After all, to phrase it the other way might make us think of Watergate, right? Good heavens, if we do that, then Barack Obama might have to find his balls and stop reaching across the aisle to the Bush Administration and insisting that going to war based on lies, announcing via signing statements that you have no intention of obeying laws, and conducting mass surveillance of American citizens aren't crimes because golly gosh gee whillikers, it might make the president MAD, and we are just too genteel for that.
