Seen on the bus
Two men, dressed somewhere between "local farmer"[1] and "factory worker", avidly discussing the contents of a large, thickly book-marked cook-book one of them was carrying with him.
1: Not that there's local farmland you can get to on the 1.
I wonder where people buy those particular styles of clothes? I never see them in stores but they look durable. Ah, well, I guess it's like "where do Mennonites buy their hats?"

Many Americans still burdened with constitutional rights
Using data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, the ACLU has determined that nearly 2/3 of the entire US population (197.4 million people) live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders.
The government is assuming extraordinary powers to stop and search individuals within this zone. This is not just about the border: This " Constitution-Free Zone" includes most of the nation's largest metropolitan areas.
Is the claim that "nearly 2/3 of the entire US population (197.4 million people) live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders" correct? That would seem to require that the rest of the country contains slightly over 1/3rd of the population and since my incredibly untrustworthy eye thinks the first area is much smaller than the second, it implies even lower population densities than I expected for the interior regions.

What fraction of the US population actually lives in "these wonderful little pockets of what [Palin calls] the real America"?
