16. The comments on Dailykos are quite interesting...

Where is the "Squirrel Channel?" Where is it? Oh.. (2+ / 0-)
It's Fox News: "We Squirrel. You Go Nuts."
Also view its corporate journalmalistic partners: CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, etc.
(Pay no attention to Democracy Now, Link TV, McClatchy DC Bureau, etc. They not nearly squirrelly enough for mature Villager news consumers. Always follow David Gregory's lead.)

The Snowden discussion reminds me of this (8+ / 0-)
When the Pentagon Papers issue was heating up in the spring of 1971, my fraternity house at Cornell had a visit from two FBI agents. Unbeknownst to us, Daniel Ellsberg had been a member of said fraternity in the previous decade. They figured we'd know where he was, being fraternity brothers and all.
Well, no. We were not exactly the most traditional fraternity on campus and we particularly had no tradition of keeping in touch with alums. It didn't help that I and my two friends were, um, high at the time. But we finally convinced them that really we would liked to have helped them (not really true) and that we DIDN'T know anything (absolutely true), and they went away.

(I really like this one) The power of the Occupy movement is that it ....realizes a fundamental truth about American politics… there is no way to vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs.

Today I will be purchasing fertilizer. Although nitrogen-bearing, it's organic so you probably don't have to worry about what I'm going to do with it.
If you are worried, it's going in the garden which desperately needs a good feeding. The zinnia are slow this year, as you no doubt noticed on your satellite photos.
I'll also be purchasing gas for the car, and an additional gallon to run the machinery around here. The two events are not connected.
Have a great day and tell Harry I said hello!

...and many more
