Glen Beck on it:

OMG... how creepy.  Where's the ACLU on this one?

The government is never there to help you.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Hey, sometimes the government makes an honest mistake, and then fixes it, quickly and quietly, no fuss.

Sometimes...

I thought this was a pretty standard type of disclaimer for .gov type systems.  If somebody hacks your machine while it's connected to it they can be charged with a more serious crime.  It doesn't make much sense when you're talking about a web browser, but there are other areas.

Like, say, Turbo Tax's system that sends in information to the IRS when you e-file.  It's not owned by the feds, but it's considered part of their network while connected.

Or they sometimes just make the problem quietly disappear...   :O

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Actually most of the popular ones seem to have been born here, therefore they are citizens. Almost all of them speak perfect english too.

I'm just fighting the urge to format my old laptop, install some really insecure OS and browser, load up the rest of the drive with high-res photos of my hairy butt, and spend a lot of time browsing .gov sites.  Let 'em look all they want.

He's a high school student, remember?  He's not allowed to look at porn.
