GETTING OUR PATRIOT ACT TOGETHER
Want to know what the USA Patriot Act's really all about (other than the Bush Administration's talent for making George Orwell look like a piker, that is)? Sure you do.
It's an acronym for:
"Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism."
I learned this true fact (those are always the best kind, right?) from listening to Harry Shearer's weekly radio show.
The show's home base is a fine National Public Radio station in Santa Monica, California, a place I've never visited but someday will.
Harry is also known as Spinal Tap bassist and cucumber aficianado Derek Smalls, the voice of a wonderful cast of characters on The Simpsons, a Huffington Post blogger, a film director, and much more.
With all due respect to Jon Stewart, Al Franken, et al., Harry's Le Show is the funniest, smartest, and best cultural and political satire available in the US, and has been for 20 years.
