Watch both hands carefully...they are out to steal your rights

     Magicians do the seemingly impossible by getting you to watch one hand while the other conducts whatever "magic" they are undertaking, they get you to keep your eye on the wrong ball. The high drama of the Budget kabuki hid the passage from  House Judiciary Committee (voted 19-10) of H.R. 1981, a bill that requires internet providers to retain records of every website that you visit. Essentially they are going to make the people that you hire to provide you with internet service spy on you (this will doubtless increase your cost as the the ISP will have to establish huge data banks to track all of the contacts). I was following the debt-ceiling nonsense all weekend and saw none of this come up. The Media seem unintersted in it despite having D.C.swamped in reporters, another classic "Nothing to see here , move along, move along" scenario.
