More no-fly list worship

Did you know America has a state religion?

It's called the no-fly list. It's the Bushist Bible.

Criticism of the no-fly list is not tolerated by government officials or the blogosphere. They consider this criticism to be blasphemy.

So who should be surprised that there's now a bipartisan bill in Congress to make it illegal for anyone on the no-fly list to buy a gun?

Regardless of whether you think federal gun laws are tough enough (which they are), why does anyone even THINK the no-fly list might be a reliable guide to ANYTHING?

Innocent travelers have been barred from flying just because they have the same name as someone on the list. And how do we know the person on the list should even be on it in the first place?

The list contains 1,000,000 people. Does America really have 1,000,000 terrorists roaming about who the government won't even catch?

Here's a bill I'd like to introduce: Under my bill, whoever conceived the no-fly list would be required to eat all copies of it. Whoever came up with the idea of the no-fly list is barely human.
