Good Morning Friends.... In the wake of a couple of questionless days and the dawn of the vote by the senate to allow warrantless wire tapping.... Let's take a look at what the top google searches provide about this topic.
Here are some interesting articles I happened across on this topic.

All really good stuff.... Now my opinion.
I have no problem with phone tapping... per se. Probably because I haven't done anything wrong... or perhaps because I trust the fact that the things that I do wrong of no national, regional or local consequence. By the same token... I think the problem with phone tapping is NOT that someone is listening... it's WHO is listening.
My experience with government employees is... they are small minded stupid people with a little power that they like to wield like a samurai sword ready to chop off your head. So, I can't imagine that the people with the real power are much different. Probably a little more educated, perhaps a little more worldly... still drunk with the power over other people. (not unlike our King Bush.... sigh.... oh my dear republicans, what have you become)
Anyway, here's what I think. If we are going to be instituting wire taps, cell phone taps, aerial surveillance... and no one is left "unwatched", then what the heck... Put it on the reality network. I would LOVE to see what the guys on top are doing, and what they discuss on the phone. I'd LOVE to just go to a website and listen in on Bush's conversations today.
I'd love LOVE LOVE to be privy to what the leaders of my country are doing with my tax dollars. I would have paid good money for a listen in on McGreevy's conversations... or Spitzer... oh that would be great!
Like I said, I have nothing to hide. Nothing... and they... as our leaders... should be even MORE over board with NOTHING TO HIDE, right?
Whatta ya say? If they can listen to us... why can't we listen to them? Matters of national security? PPAAAALLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE I think it's a matter of the PR guy oh, I'm sorry, it's not considered PR, it's the Press Agent... right? The Spin Jockey. I think it would be a PR nightmare for Bush.. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA He might have to just stop talking all together.
I would be interested in hearing and .. oh yeah... reading the emails from ALL of the whitehouse staff.
Let's set some parameters. OK. I have no problem not having access to the information about agents in the field. But honestly... SHAME ON YOU CIA, if I can even tell what you are talking about. I MEAN REALLY... If I an listen in to a CIA operative conversation and actually glean any details... you need to go back to Spy School!
Well... I am pretty confident that after this blog entry I there may be a slight delay in future entries and my emails as they are rerouted and placed in the "orange" folder! HA HA yeah, it's all laughs and giggles today... and tomorrow when we all receive our government issue clothes and a nice Abercrombie pull-over becomes a sight of the past....
SOYLENT GREEN.... IT'S MADE OUT OF PEOPLE!
