Ozzie the terrorist? Tomorrow night, 60 Minutes will report that the Transportation Security Administration has a No-Fly list of 44,000 names of people who must undergo "intense scrutiny" before being allowed to fly:

A former FBI agent tells Kroft that the list was basically a "data dump" that ensured any name ever remotely connected to terrorism would be on it.

Oh great. Just having a blacklisted name like David Nelson is enough to get you detained, questioned, and searched, even if your middle name is Ozzie and you're the son of the all-American Ozzie and Harriet Nelson. So if you have a common name like Gary Smith, John Williams, or Robert Jobhson, better make sure you're wearing clean underwear before heading to the airport.

With blunt comments like this...

The president doesn’t just hear what he wants. He hears things that only he can hear.

...Keith Olbermann is shining a spotlight on the 800-pound gorilla that most of the rest of the MSM is afraid to talk about — that President Bush is "a leader crumbling under the weight of his own lies." Olbermann is making a name for himself, sounding like Edward R. Murrow battling Joe McCarthy.

If you're headed to Bellport, NY to exercise your right to participate in peaceful protest, you're going to have to buy protest insurance first. Seems the village of Bellport has mandated that protesters carry two million dollars in liability insurance. The ACLU is suing.
