In regards to the telephone companies having to take some heat over kowtowing to White House Resident Bush's secret eavesdropping plans, it appears they've been spared by a government hat trick. First spared by the executive and judicial branches, now the legislative branch is going to absolve them of any wrongdoing. The Senate voted 69-29 today to broaden Big Brother's spying eye while giving telecoms complete protection for going along with Dubya's warrantless funny phone call program. Shrillary Clinton, by the way, didn't vote in today's debacle. I plan to protest the outcome by staging a boycott -- for the next 24 hours I will only receive calls and not make any. Except maybe to order pizza.
