Snowden is still on the lam, Issa and Cummings are on the outs, Lil' Wayne desecrated our flag, Obama is absent, and Joe Biden is still the Village Idiot. This is tonight's news--well, I added the Biden comment, but the rest is in the news.
I view Snowden as a traitor--maybe you see him as a hero. If you do, I understand why--he did what he thought was right by telling our enemies that the government is collecting our phone information. But going to China to do this, and to give away to our enemies some of the NSA tactics to monitor possible terrorist threats, is plain wrong as I see it. I also believe that he was more motivated by ego than by morals. Moreover, we have long ago given up so much of our privacy--walk down any city street and watch people talking on their cell phones via their Bluetooth device, making them look schizophrenic. You can hear every word, if you care. If by keeping phone records that can connect NSA to terrorists and prevent future attacks, I'm all for it--but I'm also aware of how little we did with the Tsarnaev's when we knew who they were. I just want to know about those 50 or so cases that were allegedly foiled by this program.
Darrell Issa and Elijah Cummings are heading up the IRS investigation where conservative organizations are allegedly being targeted for inordinate scrutiny for tax exemptions. Issa, a Republican, is only revealing select parts of transcripts from IRS interviews that shows involvement of the IRS's upper management. Cummings introduced an IRS manuscript that shows lower management involvement. Who knows? Both men were quite selective in what they revealed and they need to be totally open.
Lil' Wayne, not to be confused with John Wayne who was a much bigger individual in so many ways, did a music video that had the American flag fall to the ground behind him and he stepped all over it while he rapped his crap. I think he's an anus with a mouth attached to it, but that's just me. He has disrespected the country, the flag, and the people who fought for the right for this pissant to step on the flag. Ironic, eh.
Obama is in Northern Ireland at the G-8 conference and making threatening gestures at Putin who looks very scared. But seriously, wouldn't it have been nice if our president actually spoke directly to the American people and explained what his thinking is on Syria and why are we sending their al Qaeda fighters weapons? I mean, that's the least he could do. Then he can finish up with the conference and go to Africa where he will spend $60 to $100 million for vacation rather than spending it on opening up our house to the public.
I guess the president has different priorities.
