Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0 1556
jeffkjo1 writes "The U.S. Senate has passed the $82 billion Iraq Supplemental Spending Bill (approved by the House last week), which includes the Real ID act driver's license reform (previously reported here.) The National Governors Association has indicated at the possibility of a lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of the Real ID provisions, which would create national driver's license standards, and a federal database of information from all 50 states."

Oh, that must be why it got included in a completely unrelated bill. The republicans being so humble didn't want to take credit for such a great bill, so they tried to keep it quiet...

That's not true! The Romans fell because their people were so distracted by entertainment that they didn't keep an eye on their leaders. BTW, American Idol should be good tonight.

SINISTER TERRORIST GROUP "SLASHDOT" DECLARES WAR ON CONGRESS
Claims To Possess Menacing "Hot Grits" Weapon
Enraged by the recent passage of the RealID legislation, the internet-based terrorist organization "Slashdot"-- known for targeting websites with denial-of-service attacks-- called for action against the legislators who approved the bill. In his internet-published manifesto, their shadowy leader, known only as "ZosX", declares, "I, for one, do NOT welcome our new national ID overlords!" and conjures the terrifying image of "a beowulf cluter of Slashdotters". In an exclusive interview, granted only on condition of anonymity, one former "Slashdotter" exclaimed, "In Soviet Russia, THE PEOPLE pass repressive laws on THE GOVERNMENT!" He then seemed to become very confused.
Natalie Portman denies any affiliation with the organization.
