Papierien, bitte.

Arbeit macht frei is next, I suppose.


Anyone who uses "workers" with a straight face is, for all practical  
purposes, a communist.

But that's okay, Chuckie's only gonna put the *head* in, you see.  
You'll still be a virgin, he promises.


Cheers,
RAH

Bulletin: Democrats in Congress Want Biometic National ID Card for All  
Workers

Washington Post: http://bit.ly/iQ11z

"Reassuring" words from Chuck Schumer:

    "I'm sure the civil libertarians will object to some kind of
     biometric card -- although ... there'll be all kinds of
     protections -- but we're going to have to do it.
     It's the only way."

it comes to Congress, it's:

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!
