The Irony of Life in the US

This came through today in the Consumerist newsletter. http://consumerist.com/5296940/applying-for-a-job-great-give-us-your-google-and-facebook-passwords Also, this morning, a friend sent this article from one of his news groups. I am not sure if the links will work here, but each did indeed link to a real news story in various publications, though some dating back years. I suppose there could be a Democrat list, an Independent Party list also, but this is all I have access to, so the others are not here for that reason only. I am only posting this to show the irony of the application above and the elected officials below.
