The Stasi Is on the Job

The Stasi, er "Department of Homeland Security" is deploying a web of spies and informants to keep tabs on the goings-on at the Democratic Convention next month.

If you take photos, speak in a foreign language, change direction while you are walking, commit the crime of "walking while brown," or write things down in a notebook, the Stasi's spies are going to be watching for you.

The guidelines for visiting East Germany are becoming more and more applicable to life in this country: Keep your mouth shut and trust nobody.
