oh, my god! i just saw a "homeland security" commerical which ended with tom ridge saying, "it's simple: we can be free," in a voice just barely tinged with scorn, "or we can be ready."
"free!" i shrieked at the television. "free! i choose to be free!" i can't even believe this is our only choice. i certainly can't believe this is our only public choice: i could see how he might think this, and mutter it to himself in his sleep, but i can't believe he actually thinks it's a good thing to publicize! and the worst part is the "freedom fries" contigent will adopt it as a slogan and start bleating it like sheep: "four legs good! two legs bad!"
