#30 Mike : Terrific work. I love it when someone takes the time to dig up a fair and balanced news story. There’s nothing like good, non-agenda driven reporting. And “The Exiled” certainly is nothing like good, non-agenda-driven reporting.
To those who support the TSA. Please, take a car. I do not want to share a plane with cowards. You have the right to free travel. Go anywhere you wish. You do not have the right to interfere with my constitutional liberty/privacy. You actually don’t have any “right” to fly without risk to your life but I do have a (legally-protected) right to not have my groin groped or viewed without permission. The TSA isn’t due any credit for stopping planes being hijacked. There is more chance of you killing, or being killed by someone by driving your car, so if you are also willing to accept the government preventing you driving your car, your arguments might have some validity. Alternatively, you can accept that there are always risks in life, and while we can do what we can to prevent many of them, we cannot prevent them all and no risks are worth sacrificing liberty and the personal privacy/dignity that these TSA policies take away. If you do not want to get on a plane where people have not been groped or had their body scanned with radiation and had naked images of themselves viewed by strangers, please find other transportation. It is not your right to fly to your destination while insisting other people’s dignity and fundamental human rights are taken away.
No one is forcing you on that plane; however, I suggest you get over your fear. Nothing is ever totally safe and without risk but some things are worth taking risks and preserving liberty is the most noble risk of all.
It’s amusing to watch how the powers that be game the people. All’s well in the US where they may muster a coulpe hundred protestors to carry signs somewhere. Interesting in the UK that since the citizens are starting to demonstrate and push back with vigor, the IRA magically re-appears.

There’s no competition between these two stories, Milo. In fact, no connection whatsoever.
One is pretty young skull full of mush relating her experience in a dramatic way.
The other is a group of communists who were so left wing even the Russians couldn’t stand them supporting unionization of the TSA – also skulls full of mush just not so pretty.
#53–BJacobite==Sadly nothing changed except for half assed healthcare. No, Obama’s failure is that he became Bush Light–continuing all the failed programs/initiatives thereof. So, what we are facing in 2012 is a right of center Dumbocrat acting as a centrist Republican of 8 years ago, or a pandering to the nutjob right Party Puke like Mitt.
Heh, heh. Sadly there are no liberal vs conservative contests anymore where honest thinking people can reasonably disagree. Instead we have too ready to cave Dumbo’s vs Asshat Pukes in service to their SuperRich Corporate Clientele.
Surely, if we all voted our own self interests, the worst Dumbo would be far better than the “best (COUGH)” PUKE.
I challenge anyone to set forth the argument that the Super Rich need more tax cuts while the poor, working, and middle classes need service cuts. Go ahead: make that argument.
If not, Wake Up Fools. The Republicans want to Kill America but they can’t do it without your vote.
The truth is Obama did give us change. The problem remained the Republican’s filibuster in the Senate. So much legislation had to be watered down in order to squeak through the Senate. Many people aren’t happy with the amount or with the degree, but they are a vast change from the lassai faire, let the country die attitude of Bush.
I’m pretty satisfied with Obama’s performance. He got the nation focussed on domestic issues, got our allies to respect us again, exited Iraq and restarted the economy. Not too shabby for a rookie.
On the negative side, he tried too hard at bipartisanship. He should have mowed down those republican motherfuckers while he had the “political capital” that Bush crowed about and then used to start his holy war.
#58 You didn’t need to make that bandwidth waste of a post to let us know that you’re an obedient sheep with very low self esteem & standards to match. We all know that.
Unless your masters are watching and you’re going “see? I made that statement myself. Do you like me now?”. So sad.

You and alfie share a treehouse somewhere?

Does pedro know he has to be penetrated for them to touch his vagina? So THAT’S why he likes the pat-up line.
#43 You’re having too much homo thoughts. You better get in touch with Dallas fast.
Come out of the closet, it’s not shame. Besides, you’re progressive.
Here is a great solution for her. Don’t fly!

#44 Pedro, Apple coming out with iPhone 5. You might be interested in this one unless you’re still holding out for a Black Fat one.

These people are so delicate that if you don’t put them all, they get offended.
The truth is Obama was elected because we’d hoped that he would change it. Unfortunately everything changed for the worst.

A nice young lady should not have to face an impromptu gynaecological examination before air travel.

Here’s is how a conFused Bobbo’s post looks like:
Puke, wingnuts, lie, puke, puke, lies, wingnuts.

#47 No. I’m waiting for the #HumancentiPad. I can’t wait to see you as the middle part of the device.
