"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Probably a bash about NSA wiretapping? thats my guess...

Hmmm, maybe you're right. He looks pretty trim too, I didn't know they had bowflex back then!

That seems to be their latest obsession. I believe Newsweek had an issue about presidential power with Bush and Cheney looking ominous on the cover.

I was just reading his autobiography and found his perceptions of weather patterns amazing.
He gathered reports about a fourth of July celebration in different cities and used the information about delays in the celebrations to follow the movement of the Jet Stream.

Is it an essential liberty to have pure privacy on overseas phone calls? ehh... not to me.
