* How sad is it that the junior members of the right wing cabal have become so jaded by the last 8 years of action vs. words they can't recognize genuine honesty when they encounter it? What are they going to do when they find out their choice and their single agent for change and integrity might not be the straight-talkin' maverick they thought he was. Imagine how jaded they'll become if they find that he planted the article (after calling the media his base) just to rally the late-comers to his aid?
* Nader = irrelevant. Rather than being a true agent for change or contributing to a cause, he'd prefer to play the role of a spoiler and whining on the periphery. Someone who really cared about the nation and about change would contribute in a manner in which his input and insight would be acted upon rather than dismissed. Wanker.
* Northern Iraqi Kurdistan, the only region in Iraq where progress has been made and mostly instituted by locals is now under attack by Turkey. Is this an extension of our coalition of the willing?
* Hillarycare, Obamacaid... call the candidates' plans whatever you want. Until we can counter the arguments that *anything* is an improvement over what we have today in the "greatest nation in the world", we cannot ultimately provide quality healthcare for all.
* If we're all being tapped, monitored, tracked... the signal to noise ratio has to be close to impossible to parse effectively. Even if 10% of the populace is being filtered, that level of data-mining would take an entire army of monitors... given the degree of outsourcing instituted by this administration, we can be confident this isn't being done by direct governmental employees. So, private entities (in China, India, Pakistan, etc) are probably in some way monitoring us in an ad hoc manner looking for information needles in a data haystack while having all the same level of commitment to safety and accuracy as the KBR contractors we use in Iraq.
