The lefties were right, yet again!

They told me if I voted for McCain the president would want "illegal" wiretapping privileges! And they were right!

So they're taping my mom's calls?

When she calls me in Europe from the US?

Mom: "Are you getting enough to eat?"

Me: "Yes, mom, I live Western Europe, not the Western Sahara."

Mom: "How's the weather over there?"

Me: "It's fine, mom."

Mom: "Are you getting enough to eat?"

Me: "You already asked me that, mom."

The scene switches to the NSA headquarters, Fort George G. Meade, Maryland.

NSA Chief Analyst: "There must be some kind of code there. She keeps asking him, "Are you getting enough to eat?" What does that mean? Assign a team to crack this code. And the reference to the Western Sahara? Call the CIA and get their agents in the Western Sahara to snoop around, there must be something going on there . . .

Yesterday.
