essayelThis has jolted me out of my recent silence because i find this so unbelievable that it has to be worth mentioning:

One would think that the US secret service have more important things to do than to doorstep people who make a few jokes at the governments expense - it must cost a lot too. Haven't they got better things to spend their money on?
Of course, in the UK it's still techinically treason to disparage the Royal Family but I've never heard of anyone getting a knock on the door in the night over it - otherwise half the country's comedians would be perpetually banged up.
Anyway, since this is a country with NO constitution and NO rights to free speech and so forth, if anyone would care to email me their opinions of George Dubyah I will post them here for them - anonymously of course.
If the opinions are just yikky I can't promise not to edit - I'm like that. You'll just have to take the chance that they fall within the bounds of what I consider to be good taste.
