Blah, blah, blah

as we were coming home a few minutes ago, i flicked off the capitol building as an acknowledgment of the state of the union address.

and now i wonder if i should hesitate before expressing myself in the future. haven’t we all been known to grumble obscenities at the president under our breath? apparently, it’s an arrestable offense:

today at 2pm a man was arrested on penn. ave for “uttering threats against the president.” supposedly, he also had a suspicious package with him, but that was later deemed not dangerous. It kind of looks like his suitcase to me:

28-year old Aleksandar Aleksov from Guttenberg, NJ, is charged with making threats against the president.

the penalty: a fine or imprisonment for up to five years, or both.

also, did you know that MySpace is owned by News Corp., which is the parent company of FOXNews.com? all in the family. foxnews must love to cover myspace stories (sex offenders on myspace–what are your kids doing? etc) to give it more press, amp it up.
