This is one place where my interminable arguments with echo-chamber aficionados makes them come to hard, inescapable, truths.

Either the NSA will be got rid of, or it won't.

My bet is that it won't. Not only that, but my bet is that, aside from small tweaks to the law that Pelosi already put on the books five years ago to reign in the excesses of the Bush years, it will remain almost completely unchanged.

The U.S. has had signal intelligence since the Presidency of George Washington. In fact, Washington spent 13% of his budget on intelligence, while today the total federal budget spent on intelligence is less than 6%.

So do you agree, Mr. "Alternate Reality" that if you're still whining about this a year from now, that YOU are the one who is living it?

YES? Or in the alternative... NO?

By the way, my tag-line is meant as a slam against Karl Rove. That there are people on the left who also find themselves arguing with reality is too sad to be funny.
