1. Thanks for the post--this is always worth looking at. Doubly so

for this year of lies, lies, and damn lies . . .

2. Thanks for posting this

Some excellent reporting. All the news stories the corporate media are scared of or wish would just go away.

Perhaps this would do better in Editorials, rather than the madhouse that is GD.
