I thought it was more recent. And Game Change got an HBO movie and won an Emmy? I really, really, do not like Mark Helprin. He called PBO a dick on Mornin Joe. Suspended for a week. A whole week. Grrrr.

The other 77 voted to support the war – which proves a modification to the old saying to get – you can fool some of the congress most of the time. How many of that 77 have publicly admitted their error?

Like opposing gun control, it seems supporting war is a prerequisite to re-election and that always seems to be of more concern to congress members than anything else in their political life.

But from the documentary there were also people in the administration who listened in shock – knowing what they were hearing was untrue. It is still impossible to be a whistle blower. Does the media have any interest in such people from republican administrations?

And for an outsider – are there really FIFTEEN organizations related to security/safety/spying or whatever in the US? I’ve always assumed the FBI and the CIA – that’s TWO.

The paper also reported that aside from the weapon used to kill Steenkamp, Pistorius had pending licence applications for seven other guns, including .223 semi-automatic — the same type of weapon used to kill 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the United States in December.”

Sheesh, Sprint, what are your people drinking!
