Verbal extremism in defense of civil liberties is no vice
posted by Jennifer Abel at 6:02 PM
Jennifer Abel is an American writer who began her career in print media three minutes before the Internet killed the industry. After starting at a small Connecticut daily she moved to the Hartford Advocate, an alt-weekly where her journalistic coups included infiltrating a Furries convention and working on a phone sex line (which fired her six hours later). Since then she’s written for, or been reprinted in, dozens of print and web outlets, including Playboy, the Guardian, Salon, AlterNet, Mashable, the Daily Dot and pretty much every website with the words "cannabis" or "legalize it" in the title. Once, when she was young and naïve and needed the money, she unwittingly edited SEO copy for a spammer. However, in light of the spambot comments she’s deleted from her own blogs since then, she figures she’s more than repaid that particular karmic debt. Jennifer is currently looking for professional, non-spam writing jobs; interested editors are enthusiastically invited to e-mail her.

They hate us for our freedoms! Wait -- are "they" Al Qaeda or Homeland Security?
No need to mention freedom, Kevin; where DHS is concerned, the answer is simply "They hate us." It takes serious hatred, topped with an unhealthy dollop of control-freakism, to make dictates such as "You can't travel within your own freaking country unless you let somebody feel you up."
