If you've never listened to TSOL, or punk in general, now is as good a time as any. Don't forget to donate a little money to one of the charities they list if you like the album, or even if you just feel like it.

"This more or less legalizes the NSA program," said Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies in Washington, who has studied the new legislation."
I guess if enough people point out that this administration is breaking the law, they'll go back and change the law.
