Comic Transcript

PHIL: We've got a little problem.

VIKTOR SCHRECK: Did you get the telephone records?

PHIL: The phone company wants to know why we want them.

VIKTOR SCHRECK: Just tell them that the person's name came up on a Federal database and we're conducting an investigation.

PHIL: I already did that. They want some sort of proof that we're with the Federal Government before they give us any information without a warrant.

VIKTOR SCHRECK: Tell them we cannot legal admit that we're par tof the Federal Government and we cannot legally admit that we're investigating anything to do with suspected terrorist activity.

PHIL: Right.

(Pause.)

PHIL: We're in.

VIKTOR SCHRECK: The best part is that everything we told them is 100% true.

MARK: I really hate you guys.

Everything they said is true. They haven't lied once, it's not their fault that the phone company thinks they are a government agency because of that.

I blame Congress

For passing the infernal, and badly named, PATRIOT act. There are so many places that actually create this scenario I can't count them all (I still haven't finished reading the whole thing) How could our representatives passed this thing in a few days without bothering to read it?

puh-leeze

Congress members never read anything they vote for. They'd never have time for anything else if they did. The bills get so frickin' long that no one really ever reads them. Congressmen have advisors who skim over it and tell them basically what it is and whether or not they (their party) support it.

One way to shorten federal legislation...

IIRC, members of congress may request that a piece of legislation be read aloud for the benefit of the chamber, and the request has to be complied with. No one does, though.
