Bush has intuitively signed laws granting rights to read peoples’ emails without a court order. How exceptionally insightful and clever (feel the sarcasm). A Digg user noted that it really didn’t matter because Bush couldn’t read.

But wait, there’s more: any recent cell phone sold in the USA has a built in tracking device which (a) allow the cellphones’ microphones to be remotely turned on and used as an eevesdropping device, and (b) pinpoint the users location. The phone does not have to be switched on for this to work, battery removal is the only countermeasure. The FBI recently used this phone feature in a case against a crime family.

I think it’s almost surreal how America has changed since Bush assumed power. I’ve caught myself comparing the Oxxford suit of Bush to the Hugo Boss outfit of Hitler. This is a sticky situation for the world, there’s no doubt about that — terrorists aren’t official forces. They’re civilians with an attitude and delusions of a higher purpose. How do you find civilians in a stack of civilians? Hardly without partially sacrificing the freedom of the rest of us it seems.

But then of course, Bush himself has an attitude and delusions of a higher purpose. Let’s just ask Bush himself: Mr. Bush, how can you do your job so well?

“I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.” — to a group of Amish he met with privately, July 9, 2004

But Mr. Bush (or am I addressing god? I get confused), why would you want to sacrifice the freedom of your own country to kill the people in an unfree one?

“I’m the commander — see, I don’t need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being president.” — quoted in Bob Woodward’s Bush at War

Fascinating. So that must mean that you have very good, top secret reasons for what you do?

“I’m also not very analytical. You know I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things.” — aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003

That must be very … enlightening. Definitely explains how you can get through the day, doing what you do.
