Sure, it’s borderline sexual assault and a violation of the fourth amendment, but bear in mind what your other option is. The motive behind the “enhanced” pat-downs is IMO less to do with our security and a lot more to Read more…
Now that I’m done and I can spare a few hundred words for my blog, I’d thought I’d give a little recap on what I think this NaNoWriMo thing was good for, despite some asinine anal-retentive elitist asshat skeptics out Read more…
