Yesterday my trip to the doctor showed me I\u2019m still not ready for prime time.  Just getting there and back, normally an easy trip was grueling.  I\u2019d like to do some visiting today, but I feel pretty weak and tired, so we\u2019ll see.  I am up to date on comments.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Salon<\/a>: <\/font>Here’s an update on the unfolding story of the trio of technology firms that hatched a plan to attack WikiLeaks and their supporters in the press — including Salon’s Glenn Greenwald.

This Republican financed fool needs to be defeated soundly.<\/font><\/p>\n
