Today might be a good day to look at your dwindling freedoms under George W. Bush, Barack Obama, the NSA, the FBI, PRISM, and the Patriot Act. Seriously, are you just going to give away your RIGHT to not be spied on with dubious warrant claims? Are you just going to give away your FREEDOM to not have your phone calls listened or your internet searches cataloged? Are you going to let National Intelligence Director James Clapper lie to Congress and not go to jail over the depth and scope of the spying? Guaranteed if you lied to Congress you'd be in jail yesterday.
So while you watch the teevee specials today on great Americans who built this land and gave us our birthrights, and watch the shells bursting over the Hudson River tonight ask yourself if you're just willing to accept what you're told by the powers that be or if you're ready to hold them to account.
Again, Happy Independence Day and Restore the Fourth!

Tidbits from far and wide today
Tidbits, not to be confused with 'Timbits" the tasty little donut holes at Tim Horton's.
* A New Jersey principal is being shamed herself by the local parents after she tried "slut-shaming" young girls by telling them they were forbidden to wear *gasp* strapless dresses to an 8th grade event.
* Jersey City says they are working hard on clearing up the backlog and tearing down abandoned buildings throughout the city. If you're wondering when you last heard about such a plan it was 2009 a few weeks before they mayoral electi -- HEY, what a coincidence!
* You citizen will soon be able to pull out your smartphone and hail a cab in NYC. The temporary injunction has been lifted so this brave new world of cell phone e-hails is on the way.
* No Fleet Week this year. And we all has a sad.
* Finally today the worst President in American history dedicates his presidential libarry in Texas. No word on if one of the two books will be My Pet Goat.
