US House Hates Bush

In a move that will hopefully be seen as a harbinger of hostility to come, the House of Representatives today voted to strike down a part of the PATRIOT Act that allowed investigators access to library records of suspected enemies of the people. While it never bothered me that some government official could know that I've had The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants on loan since mid-November, this does explain why Vehicle-Borne Explosive Devices for Dummies has been gathering so much dust lately.
