I suspect they won't be getting an endorsement from Erin Edwards...

There are now two J Edgar Hoovers (DNI & DCIA) that have far more power and intel than the original ever fantasized about.

Nothing will happen. Nothing, nothing, nothing.

How many people support DUI checkpoints, free speech zones, unfettered border searches, constitution-free zones, the TSA, the NSA's mass surveillance, protest permits, stop-and-frisk-type policies, unwarranted surveillance in general, or assassination of citizens without trial?

They only way to combat Comcast would be the top ten institutional investors (public employee retirement accounts, etc.) threaten to drop Comcast from their portfolios due to their dickish behavior. This and only this (given that the FCC is already captured) would get the attention of the greed pigs at the top.

I fully expect the lads from Top Gear to seek them out for a little harassment - especially Clarkson.

Local Control can cut both ways, oh Sons of the Confederacy.

The cost of Prime will be going up. Again.

The main characters' name was Mingolla. He was in a war in the near future in Central America. The chopper pilots wore these helmets that they never took off; they claimed the helmets let them see the future, the helmets told them he would get wounded but in a good way - just enough to get sent home.

Can't recall the name of the story though.

'Fuck the wheat; I want the chaff.'

and suddenly there's child porn on your encrypted drive that obviously only you could ever have had access to.

At the bottom of the revealed Pandora's Box of NSA horrors is this: now, even a jury of Red-State yokels have pause for belief when the defense can say to them: planting such evidence is childs' play for the organs of state security - step out of line and you may be next.

I've been printing my memory on paper since I could hold a pencil...

Yes, but you've been cheating by using wide-ruled paper and double-spacing.
