Does this mean that it&#039;s only legal to watch a televised speech by Obama if you&#039;re a Republican?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RE: Carlos Miller

How many unsolved violent crimes does Miami-Dade currently have on the books?  If the number is &quot;zero&quot;, then there should be less police for cost-cutting reasons (I can think of one particular female major whose services aren&#039;t needed).  If the number is above &quot;zero&quot;, then the police should not be wasting time on people who didn&#039;t commit those violent crimes.  

Unless photography is a violent crime.  And it&#039;s not.

The police have become terrorists.  Lazy, dishonest, sadistic, self-serving terrorists.

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;Do you think Obama issued this order with a straight face?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Actually, I&#039;d guess that there is such a disconnect in the mind of ANY senior government officer that the irony of such an order would not even occur to them.

It&#039;s sort of like the famous incident where an official of the Nixon administration condemned the North Vietnamese for violating the Christmas Truce while standing in front of a copy of Washington Crossing the Delaware.]]></description>
