The "Threatened" Society

The courage of celebrities knows no bounds.

Susan Sarandon wants the U.S. presidential elections to be monitored by outside interests. The "Bull Durham" star says that the 2004 vote was so fraudulent that we need international oversight — like troubled third-world countries do.
Her assessment of President Bush’s administration isn’t upbeat either. "I think we’ve never been as close to George Orwell's '1984' as before," she said. "We live in a society where individual rights and legality are definitely threatened and that’s scary."
She obviously has not received her latest update of Newspeak. "Threatened", "scary", "rights", "legality" - she's commiting thought crimes all over the place. And that's double plus ungood.

No doubt the thought police will be along to question her any minute. Good that we all just move along.
