Neil asked me to do it

Because censorship is a hot-button issue with me, and Neil Gaiman asked me personally to tell people about this: The U.S. Department of Education is declaring about 200 television programs inappropriate for closed-captioning.

Excuse me while I indulge in a whatthefuck moment. This is yet another example of how the current presidential administration is insidiously tap-tap-tapping away at our constitutional rights and precious few people are noticing. How many more examples will surface before we wake up and think "when did we move to a police state?" I swear the Bush administration is teflon-coated or something. Liberal press my freaking fat ass. Almost a month ago, mckitterick posted about Republican staff members of the US Senate Judiciary Commitee who infiltrated opposition computer files. I said then that the issue would get no press and who was right? Again? Augh!!! What is it going to take? I'm afraid to answer that question.

I've quite got my dander up today. I think I need to go lie down before I hurt myself.

The Shrub Reich...it's why I have to pace myself, especially considering my father's side has the Incredible Exploding Heart gene.
