What’s with the title, Cary?

This: Tweeting the word ‘drill’ could mean your Twitter account is read by U.S. government spies

Once again, the Government is here to help. The Department of Homeland Security (while taking a break from not providing any Homeland Security) has determined that certain “key words” warrant an investigative drill down by agents. In other words, if you Tweet, blog, or Facebook about things like the collapse of your sand castle when the tide came in, the dentist using a drill on your teeth, the concern you may have about illegal immigrants, or even the strain your mother-in-law puts on your relationship, the DHS may be breathing down your neck.

Personally, I’m not worried. I’ve been on Nappy’s watch list for some time, since I blog, am a veteran, male, white, believe in the Second Amendment, believe in limited government, believe in the Constitution, and also because I judge a person on their actions, not on the color of their skin *coughobamacough*.

If you are worried, then do this: On Facebook, restrict your posts to only friends and family. Then, make sure you only have friends and family on your list.

On your blog, be sure to liberally quote the First Amendment, and your support of the First by your support of the Second.

On Twitter, make sure you know who is following you. You can block people you aren’t sure of. You can report and block people who want to do illegal things with/to you, so you should also be able to block unknown (to you) people from following and trying to “determine your identity” – like the DHS will be doing if they think you are using key words.

Funny thing – the DHS shouldn’t have any problem determining my identity – since I don’t hide it.

Just for good measure: Collapse Drill Virus Immigrant Illegal

There, that should keep them busy for a while.

Yesterday, I pointed you to a quiz that would help you figure out if you were considered a Domestic Terrorist by the current administration. Today, I wish to point you to a nice guy named Joe. He has an article posted on his blog that gives us, the unrepentant Domestic Terrorists, the chance to proudly declare our status:

… As you know, we conservatives have been lumped together as right wing extremists by Janet Napolitano, Director of the Department of Homeland Security.

Interestingly, while she apologized for including veterans in our unseemly group, she has not apologized for lumping the rest of us together.

Now, the venerable Napolitano has provided a toll free number with which people can REPORT the Right Wing Extremist with whom you come in contact…even if it is you!

…

Imagine hundreds of phone calls flooding the DHS switchboard (do switchboards still exist?) with self described right wing extremists reporting in.

Well, if you want to get involved, and report yourself, here is the number:

202-282-8495

Yeah – just imagine. Most of us are already on watch lists, since we attended those “anti-American” TEA Parties the other day.

As long as I am on the subject of being an Extremist, let’s jump over to Ol’ Broad and read a love letter from Uncle Ted that she has posted.

Please, feel free to discuss in the comments what the switchboard’s reaction was when you reported yourself. I left a voice mail, since it is a voice mail box number. Let’s see what happens, shall we? Judging from the response time of other government offices, I am not expecting anything to happen except that they will lose my information. Again.

Chat ya later…
