Congress approves $4 billion for bread, circuses, debates sending
additional legions to quell trouble in distant Kosovo
In today's "they want to do WHAT?!" department, the Clinton administration
apparently desires to make it possible to more easily grant warrants to
surreptitiously enter people's homes and futz about on their computers, with
the goal of getting around whatever encryption they might be using so that
investigation of their files is possible. Now, were this most other
administrations, one could grant some measure of the benefit of the doubt,
but these are the same people who brought us the Clipper Chip proposal,
so it's abundantly clear what they're really after. Control freak scum.
And to think we'll probably get four more years of this if Al Gore gets
the thumbs-up from the electorate. Hrmf. At least he's no George W. Bush...
In other news... um, there is no other news. Carry on.
