Going for the gold

(Via No Quarters)

Remember those National Security Letters I wrote about? Well, it seems that the Bush administration has decided tto go for a new record, and perhaps a new record for silliness as well.

Just how widespread, and uncontrolled, this latest government assault has become hit close to home last week when one of the FBI’s National Security Letters arrived at the company that hosts the servers for this web site,Capitol Hill Blue.

The letter demanded traffic data, payment records and other information about the web site along with information on me, the publisher.

Now that’s a problem. I own the company that hosts Capitol Hill Blue. So, in effect, the feds want me to turn over information on myself and not tell myself that I’m doing it. You’d think they’d know better.

His reply is classic, on the level of General McAullife’s “Nuts!”.

I’m really starting to regret my work to get him reelected. but I console myself that Kerry would have been even worse, and the AWB didn’t get reenacted.
