New to the blogroll are skippy the bush kangaroo and American Agenda.

I don't make additions to the roll lightly.  I stopped using Blogrolling.com a while back when it started hanging and slowed down operations at the DispLib subterranean headquarters.

Every blog you see on the left is hand rolled and not added until it's reached its peak of perfection.  So give these guys some love.

While you're clicking about, read this then explain to me how being put on blacklist by doing business with a company or person on the government's terrorist watchlist, knowingly or unknowingly, comports with the idea of due process.

Think about it.  You can be placed on this watchlist without any notion of judicial review, notice, a right to redress any error, completely at the whim of a government official.  Once on the list you can't even get a job because your name is on the wrong list.

How many stories do we hear every other week or so about someone unable to board a plane because they are on the terrorist watchlist?  Senator Ted Kennedy was on the list, and until he was removed, every bartender who poured him a Fuzzy Navel was violating the law.

Now tell me again how the ACLU, who are so pure in their stand on civil liberties, can in good conscious support this.  Last I looked, due process, some kind of legal procedure to redress mistakes or excesses ot the bureaucracy, was a civil liberty.

it's one thing to buy off the occasional journalist, or give them the rubber hose treatment, but when you can get the ACLU to take 30 (or half a million) pieces of silver, we are in deep shit.
