(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

SECRET ARRESTS COME TO AMERICA
The last thing I want to do right now is push down another great Grady post, but the following news item needs immediate and widespread attention: Plans for Patriot Act II Leaked. Although in some ways this startling (?) piece of news features some correlations with Grady's post: ironic that the warbloggers have targeted the permit-permissioners of at least several peace rallies in Washington D.C. for being "Stalinists," and by association, everyone who participated in those rallies and every peace protest across the country and world. (I, myself, was surprised to learn that anyone today respects Stalin, because everyone knows that communists aren't necessarily Bolsheviks, and vice versa . . . so if you are sympathetic to the original communist doctrines, choosing the brutal dictator Stalin as it's spokesperson who really in no way represented or encouraged actual communism is a bit of a mystery to me . . . ) Ah, but back to the irony: you see, because the warbloggers who recently so vociferously gave multiple hatchet jobs to the entire 'No War' contingent for their slight (and I do mean slight, as in Olive Oil slight) association to the 'Stalinists' by marching in a 'No War' demonstration that the 'Stalinists' happened to secure the permit to . . . also support a war being pushed by an administration who at this very moment is planning to turn America into a Stalinist state.
There's genetically-modified egg on your faces, killbloggers. Now us peacebloggers better make preparations for the police state that is no longer in question being planned for America. If you don't hear from me for a while--in addition to jumping for joy--you can also file my mysterious disappearance under 'American Secret Arrest.'
