26. Funny, I don't feel embarrassed. Oh, that's because I've never said "nothing to see here."

Count me as a "something to be seen and has been long before Snowden's 'revelations' and as it turns out, what's happening is working well within the parameters of the Constitution (no thanks to David F. Addington et al.), but, sure, let's repeal the Patriot Act and the AUMF, too, I'm 100% behind that" person.

Kind of hard to fit that in a headline, I grant you.
