A new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll of 1,003 adults found that 50 percent of those polled believe it’s OK to forgo warrants when ordering electronic surveillance.

50 percent.

I guaran-fucking-tee you that it “just happens” to work out regionally, with those 50 percent largely coming from Red states.

EDITED TO ADD: AP has a poll that skews the other way, with 56% saying that a warrant is required, but still—I can’t believe a clear issue of criminality like this is polling anywhere NEAR 50/50, no matter how it swings.

The Garfield Randomizer

Takes three random frames from Garfield strips, and places them in random order. Surreal, zen-like results.
