We have wars going on in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. The housing market is in shambles. Gas prices are soaring. Unemployment is breaking records.
You would think The United States Senators would be occupied fixing these problems, but, apparently, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D) of Minnesota, Sen. John Cornyn (R) of Texas and Sen. Christopher Coons (D) of Delaware have decided to address more pressing concerns. They are pushing Senate Bill 978, which targets people who lip-synch to copyrighted works and publish the videos online. Violators can go to prison for up to five years.
What is wrong with the priorities of our Senators? With all of the problems going on in America right now, how do they possibly have enough time to worry about people lip-synching on the Internet?
If you live in Minnesota, Texas, or Delaware, maybe you should reach out to Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. John Cornyn, or Sen. Christopher Coons and make them aware of the more serious problems we are facing as a nation.

TSA Causes Dangerous Police Situation with Bomb Drill
It never ends. On May 12, 2011, the bungling dolts at the Transportation Security Administration were conducting a drill at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport with a fake bomb to test the TSA screeners. For some reason, the TSA did not think it would be necessary to alert the police to this drill.
These fake bomb tests are fairly routine. Often, the fake bombs make it past the TSA screeners without incident. This is probably because the TSA screeners are generally just too busy hassling senior citizens who have artificial hips, feeling up little children, and gawking at the naked pictures their buddies are emailing from the full-body scanner observation center. Surprisingly, on this particular occasion, the normally inept TSA screeners were actually able to identify an object that looked like a bomb in an undercover agent's carry-on bag. The resulting TSA actions caused confusion and led to police drawing guns and evacuating the screening area.
Someone could have been killed during all of this confusion. The undercover agent with the fake bomb could have been shot by police or--even worse--a panicked bystander who could have been acting oddly due to the stressful situation could have been mistaken for an accomplice and shot.
This is another example of just how utterly incompetent the TSA is. This ridiculous agency of glorified mall cops cannot be trusted with the safety of the American people.
