Big Brother or Fat Daddy - you decide

Any of you folks old enough to remember an afterschool special called The Wave? Well, I got major flashbacks to it when I discovered this website early this morning for George II's new Citizen Corps. You too, can turn in your neighbors and have a BBQ block party to celebrate it! Yes folks, McCarthyism hasn't died, it just smells funny.

The auxillary brigade can be found here: USA on Watch

I feel safer already.

As an aside, The Wave was released in 1981 and has been a cherrished afterschool special for 20 years now. The only one worth watching. Ever. It won an Emmy for Outstanding Children's show.

To top off the news, it looks like my former congressman of the 17th district of Ohio is finally going to pay the piper. Jim Trafficant stands accused of accepting bribes, fraud and tax evasion. Way to go, Jimbo. I was close friends with his daughter, whom I still adore, and I STILL hope this guy goes to jail. He's a menace tot he community, even though they keep voting him back in office year after year. Tell them what they want to hear and they'll follow you off a cliff. He plans to run for the House again even if he's in prison. Sad thing is, he'll probably win.

I remember The Wave. We read it. Still creepy after all these years -- and one of the very few things I ever read in a textbook and still reference.
