The debates
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Dear Women: there are four MEN on NATIONAL TV talking about how you aren't to be trusted with your own bodies. You've basically lost already</p>— Rudy Gardea (@Rudiology) February 23, 2012</blockquote>

I wrote this yesterday, and the ghost of religion hangs its ugly head. But women, luckily men know whats best for you. Thanks for allowing us to still run your lives.
Atheism 2.0?
Alain de Botton: Atheism 2.0
http://is.gd/RaTI47 (link to a TED Talk)
basically this guy is saying, take the best parts of religion and co-opt them to a secular. I think he's just playing with symantecs, a moderate view will never get things done.
Privacy
Oddly, despite the recent rise of the libertarian-leaning Tea Party faction of the Republican Party, no Republican has decided publicly that privacy protection of Americans’ online communications is a winning issue. However, whether the bill would ultimately pass even with GOP support is unclear, and the White House maintains that warrants for such data are not required.

So freedom is free, and is across the board. But Somehow repulicans want it for stuff they care about.
Money
A coincidence, I imagine, but it sure is poetic. In mid-June, just before the Occupy Wall Street movement took shape, JPMorgan Chase donated what the financial organization itself described as "an unprecedented" $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation, part of which will be used to expand and fortify surveillance systems.
So you can buy a politician, but it also looks like you can buy NYPD.
HB 56

Everyone wants the easy answer, but this is just a way to maginalize a group of people. This is the same type of "answer" but its been done before and it never works.
More occupation

For some reason the local media isn't covering this, I guess there are more highschool football games to cover.
Iraq Lies
Panetta appears to link al-Qaeda presence with Iraq invasion
“The reason you guys are here is because on 9/11 the United States got attacked,” Panetta told the troops. “And 3,000 Americans — 3,000 not just Americans, 3,000 human beings, innocent human beings — got killed because of al-Qaeda. And we’ve been fighting as a result of that.”
Lets get this straight again, Iraq had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with 9/11. The fact that that lie can still be slung around and no one bats an eye is a testament to the apathy in our country now.
Osama
So almost ten years after he made himself a house hold name, he's dead. Where it all goes from here is anyones guess, but there is a brief moment that everyone celebrated a death.Idiot
Perry: Pray For Rain To End Texas Drought http://www.click2houston.com/news/27626652/detail.html We have an absolute idiot for governor. I'll get a bucket of water, you pray, and we'll see who gets more done.genetically modified
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/punctuated-equilibrium/2011/mar/22/2?CMP=twt_fd It's another way to scare people into a corner of not making food better. I guess people just don't like technology.
