From Facebook - Alan Grayson: "I stand with Glenn Greenwald. Do you?"

113. No, I stand with the constitution.

I say thanks to GG for breaking the story and now tune out the subsequent drama.

I have never taken GG seriously as a journalist, he writes opinion pieces. This Snowden thing is to him what Monica Lewinsky was to Drudge, a claim to fame and a way to really nail a President he's hated all along.

On the upside the citizenry has been reminded that there are things in place that can pretty much track everything you do. Good to know. So sad to see a big chunk of the few who gave it more than a passing yawn are mostly squandering time on forums like this fighting for GG's "honor" and taunting the multitudes (who I have not yet seen) that defend the NSA spying program. Oh, and accusing those who aren't willing to canonize GG of being, wait for it...homophobes.

Yep, that's what the "informed" among us are choosing to do (in large part) while the rest (the uninformed or those who don't care) just turn up their TVs and open a fresh bag of chips.

Yes, and the bourgeois are quaking in their boots.
