shannon_aYou know that our President is really trying to terrify the country with ridiculous levels of hyperbole about terrorists and the need for security when even the big 3 television networks are impacted.
Survivor is still a top-10 show in its 9th 'season', but even Mark Burnett can't budge George Bush's stubborn stance on counterterrorism secrecy. You see, Brady, a member of the Survivor 9 cast, is also an FBI agent. Since he was on the show he's been reassigned from SWAT to the Counterterrorism squad in LA. And, as a result, he's no longer allowed to give any interviews or appear on any live shows.
Because, you know, we wouldn't want him to slip up and tell those terrorists who are hiding in every corner something really important ... like rainfall levels in the South Pacific.
The slide toward facism started almost exactly 4 years ago; it might not be too late to stop it.
