Several of you have e-mailed me copies of this column by William Safire which seeks to alert the world to the clear and present danger presented by the Bush Administration's snooping on the citizenry. I've got to admit I've come to disbelieve anything Mr. Safire writes. This is the man who was dead certain that Hillary Clinton (and maybe Bill, too) would be indicted in Whitewater, Filegate and Travelgate. This is also the man who claimed that our government had proof of an "Iraqi connection" to 9/11 conspirator Mohammed Atta. Perhaps he's right this time, but I sure hope not.
I flipped through a copy of the new MAD at the newsstand. The parody of The Onion was written by Scott Maiko.
