The NSA is living proof that military intelligence is an oxymoron.

LMAO! But maybe we can go the simple route and just use a cattle prod on 'em.

During my early years here I was invited to Spook City to explain a new telecom network type to them.

When I showed up at the appointed time they found that I was still a Canadian and were not going to let me in.

I said Fine, you invited me, I did not come here on my own.

It could be worse I guess. We could follow France down the shitter by raising the tax rate to 75% for the rich. I can't believe they are serious.

I guess the devil would be in the details but when I first heard about that 75% tax rate, I asked myself why the hell would anyone with any money to speak of want to call France home? Je ne comprends pas.
