Watching the watchers, and other followups

An easy way to prevent abuses at the Information Awareness Office would be this: have 1 million employees spy on the 300 million or so people in America. Then, have 10,000 trusted employees spy on the 1 million "first tier" spyers. 100 extra trusted employees would spy on the 10,000. And, at the very tippy top of the be-eyed pyramid, convicted felon John Poindexter would spy on those 100. The buck would stop right there.

Regarding lower tuition for illegal aliens than for out-of-state U.S. citizens, I haven't had a reply to my email, nor has it been printed on their letters page or in their Pulse section.

Those who think this is a good thing should read this article:

"A shrinking state economy is putting the squeeze on the University of California's budget and threatens to bring the first fee increase for in-state students in nine years... "It looks scary," said Larry Hershman, UC vice president for budget. "I think you've got to recognize in the face of what looks like a disastrous financial situation that there are going to be some cuts."

Whatever you do, Larry, don't cut out that special discount for citizens of another country.

On a local note, former Hollywood City Councilman Mike Woo has a new job.

The English are putting up more flyers, but these are quite different from the ones I previously blogged.
