  Thank God that Internet-records part was struck down. If the government ever found out that I bought Bring It On from Amazon, I'd die of embarrassment.

  The Patriot Act never made sense to me. Aren't the Republicans proponents of small government? Hey! Where are you taking me?

  That's the way these things happen. First, they overturn one little clause, then they whittle away at the rest. Before you know it, our civil liberties will be totally restored.
