Yes, it’s true that the Obama administration has been intruding more and more into the private lives of our citizens, with electronic surveillance and the like, but don’t blame them. They are just picking up where George W. Bush left off. They don’t really want to impinge on the civil liberties of Americans, but because…
Before we get to the main topic, I first want to take this opportunity to apologize to my neighbors, as well as the other people on my block, residents of the other blocks in my neighborhood, and the Marines at the Miramar air base. That deafening ruckus you recently had to put up with for…
