It gets creepier every day

Thanks to The Modulator for bringing this big scary thing to my attention: In North Carolina, some government entities, including the University of North Carolina (my shamed alma mater that tortured animals in their labs, got called on it, then tortured them again when the inspectors left), are pursuing authority to sue citizens who make public records requests. The state supreme court will take up the issue soon, and in the meatime, I doubt you will hear about it on all-Bush television.
