8. You know what's frightening? I bet Russia could "shut down everything."

They apparently can hack our electrical grids and government. The night before last when the NYT treason story broke our Directv signal started to break up just on MSNBC and CNN. Every other channel was fine. It lasted for quite some time so we couldn't get the full story until the next day. For all I know it was spider's mating in the satellite dish, but I'm getting downright paranoid about what's happening in this country. Is it time to learn Russian??
