Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims...., Iran Eyes Badges For Jews, Chris Wattie, National Post (Canada).
Now there's something the imagined next Speaker of the House can lead on: badges for people in Red states. That way, when she or friends like Al Franken and Michael Moore parade into the House of Representatives, they can carefully avoid questions from (or contact with) "badged" reporters or constituents. Think of the convenience. It would be almost as powerful as "nationalizing" the Internet and censoring "unbalanced" reporting from blogs. Go for it, Nancy, Baby! It's a program you can run on, at least on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. What a nice fit for a successor to that other highlight of cowardice in the face of free choice and free speech, McCain-Feingold! Maybe you and the desk-smashing Senator from Arizona can campaign together on that! Wow, a unity ticket, perhaps with a campaign song with the following lyrics:
We don't need no Constitution;
We just need good thought control.
First we captured education;
Next we'll have a Red patrol.
Hey, citizen, be the best that you can be.
Hey, citizen, only fools are free.
(Additional lyrics are welcome)
Luther
