Liberty's Demise? National Defense Authorization Act
2011 has been a sickening year in U.S. politics, and I believe my use of "sickening" to be a gross understatement.

Re: That's Impossible
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that this may be all I'm able to post about in regards to the "That's Impossible" series. Certain issues - namely with my car - have left me without cable and Internet access, at least for the rest of this month. If anyone else wishes to continue for me, they should be my g...
