At the very least, it will allow law enforcement officials across the state to detain the individual or confiscate any recorded materials to further their investigation, according to state Sen. Fred Madden, D-4 of Turnersville, who is the bill's sponsor. [/p][/blockquote]  [a href="vny!://www.nj.com/news/sunbeam/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1147335696312460.xml&coll=9"]Link[/a]  
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

I just don't know what's wrong with me.....I almost never want to photograph a sewage plant.

Only almost never? For what reasons do you make exceptions?

Good, because they want to be able to put you in jail for it. It's beyond stupid- a law like this is  downright creepy.

And with that, the United States takes one step closer to the state of human rights in other great democracies like North Korea.

For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

Just like him.  The mouth runs constantly, but he's not saying anything.

A running mouth? Hmm, at that point dribble turns to drivel.

It's not that type of puppet tenkani.  It's the kind you shove your hand up the ass.

Well he can keep talking as far as I'm concerned because with his poll numbers below 30% now this means more donkeys in congress and less fat elephants.
