Excuse me, is that a metadata in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

   So, the NSA is only gathering 'metadata', huh?  I know you are all already informed about the xkeyscore program by now.  You know, that little program they have that lets them sneaky assed pervs at the NSA to actually read your emails and chats, requiring no authorization above or beyond the ability to type a keyword in a dropdown search bar.  Of course, the gubburmint has stated, repeatedly, that they aint reading anything, just gathering a lot of metadata (a phrase that means jack shit to most people, hence the clueless, careless attitude about it).  Well, please allow the Beanburner to introduce you to Michele Catalano.

A few google searches, and BAM...a knock on the door from Andy and Barney.

This planet is spinnin way too fast anymore.

  1. Funny...frightening...all at the same time. Wonder what they have to say about me checking out backpacking gear at Cabelas and air rifles at Academy? Plus a bunch of pro-gun blogs, two online cartoons, and the latest offerings at Redbox?

    Best comment ever? "Hey! That might work faster than calling 9-1-1!"

    1. You should see what happens when you google "Twinkies", "cheetos", "leather furniture", and "miniature farm animals". You get a visit from Mooch, Pelosi, and Carlos Danger all dressed in camaflouge from the Perez Hilton Collection.
