Who will watch the watchers?



After a week of wall-to-wall TV coverage with the same meat puppets blathering on...and on...and on... the surviving Boston bombing suspect is in custody.

 

What became most apparent, in a week of crowd-sourcing, video cameras, photo analysis, heat-seeking helicopters, and a federal loophole that allows questioning before giving people their Miranda rights, is that privacy in America- the simple, basic ability to just come and go and mind one's business without government watching, is dead.

We live in a world where we are subject to being hunted down and detained on the whim of government. Senator Lindsey Graham is heading the lynch mob for the Boston suspect.

And if you live in South Carolina and mailed your tax returns in the past week, you doubtless wondered, as Governor Nikki Haley's simpering minions croaked "It's a great day in South Carolina!" into their phones, whom she'll let see your tax returns this year.
