In this week's animation, political cartoonist Mark Fiore takes a look at the new wiretap legislation that gives the Bushies more power to spy on you. After all, you may be talking to terrorists.

Check out Fiore's witty yet poignant look at the issue: "Aye, Spy!"

We need this kind of humor and sarcasm to help keep us sane under the circumstances, as our Constitutional rights keep flying down the proverbial drain.

God bless America.

"Humans have spent 99 percent of our developmental time in the wild kingdom, which tutored us in what Rob Kall calls bottom-up values?small, local, interdependent, respectful, egalitarian and decentralized -- and which the world desperately needs in order to balance out some of the darker impulses of top-down values. His faith that bottom-up values represent a critical re-balancing act for humanity, if not an outright better mousetrap, is compelling and hard-won, and I offer him a high-five for his courageous inquiry into the deep wisdom inherent in our age-old intimacy with natural rhythms, native intelligences, and interconnectedness."
