Back in the USSR

To many of us, the political state of this country has started resembling the old Soviet Union. Everything is rigged for cronies. Markets are rigged by the big, connected players. The military calls the shots. Party loyalty matters more than the public good.

Putin and Bush are soul brothers, after all.

And, of course, our government now runs gulags.

Now we find (via Boing Boing) that commuter trains running between DC and Baltimore have these Stalin-era designs urging citizens to turn each other in for "thoughtcrimes" and other suspicious actions.
