Wish all the other stories, including the other things I referenced, were also hoaxes. I retract my rant, but not my anger. Be nice if the FBI hadn't done the things it did to MLK, Jr., and the CIA hadn't kidnapped, subjected to torture, and then dumped in the woods in Albania, an innocent Canadian. Also be nice if Bush thought the President of the United States is bound by the Constitution of the United States. But then, I always was a dreamer.

The two agents were from Homeland Security. The FBI is pissed off about radical terrorist librarians. Homeland Security, dammit. The two agents were from Homeland Security.

Stop by for a marginally legal homebrew sometime. Deja vu all over again, what? I mean, George II running about like a mad monkey and standing armies behind every rock and shrub. Now that most of our carefully constructed checks and balances have fallen by the wayside (I keep forgetting when the President got the power to declare war...), seems like everyone's either a Tory or conspiring with the French (wink, wink). Remember when we used to get on the Canadians for being so stuffy and prone to flag waving? Now they're all growing hemp like GW (that's George Washington, not the mad monkey) and we treat THEM like a colony. Would write more but there seems to be an agent of the crown at the door. Wonder what the chap wants? Cheers, Sam [Adams] Pat, Ben,

Welcome to Georgvs Rex's Amerikkka. The sonofabitch should be required by Congress to offer a formal, public apology to that student, his parents, the college, and the interlibrary loan service, followed by a public castration of the supervisor who sent those agents to make that banana republic/Stasi visit. "Hi, we're from the FBI. Here's a little early Christmas message for you and your family from the Warrior-in-Chief of the GWOT. Remember, books contain ideas, the staphylococci of the mind. Have a nice, state-approved day." The interlibrary loan service, conveyor belt for collegiate subversion (good god, there’s a terrorist-sypm in every liberal arts closet).
