Sigma Hate Present

[sigma7]

Dammit. First The West Wing's Leo McGarry, John Spencer, dies (he was turning 59 next week). And then we get the choice piece of info that not only has the National Security Agency been freely snooping on American citizens (sans warrant) for the longest time, and not only is the administration perfectly fine with that, but (and here's where it gets actually surprising) the New York Times knew about it for a year and held the story at the administration's request.

Christ, why bother having a newspaper? If you're not printing this, then what else is more important, more worthy of putting ink to paper for? Appalling. Shameful.

That is horrifying. Just wrong on so many levels. Gah. It almost makes me want to go into public interest law so I can sue the crap out of these people. Almost.
