In case you missed the reveal on May 21..
Now what I'm going to say next is my opinion and entirely my opinion, you can agree with me completely, or you can disagree claiming I don't know what I'm talking about, that's what's great about an opinion. Now let's get started..
First, the controller. If you haven't seen it, here it is:
A good article in the NYT on various things regarding the drone strike policy. Pres. Obama plans to lay out new architecture of usage in speech today, drone strikes have decreased from 2010 on, and quotes from high-ranking critics are also included in the piece. Must read.
In May 1898 the British Prime Minister, the third marquis of Salisbury, made a speech which caused great offence to some European Powers. In it he referred to declining and the rising Powers, stating that the world belonged to the latter. The ambassadors of Portugal and Spain were on his door-step the next morning asking if he had meant them? No one was in any doubt about that.
When you are about to have your ass handed to you, what's the best strategy? Diversion. And apparently this is exactly what the Democrats are attempting to do after getting their hands caught with their own IRS scandal, as the Wall Street Journal posts:
You almost have to admire Carl Levin's timing. Amid a furor over politicized IRS tax enforcement, the Michigan Democrat on Tuesday tried to change the subject to a hardy Washington perennial—corporate tax loopholes.
Last week, the people of the United States dodged a bullet by re-electing Barack Obama to the Presidency rather than accept a hypocritical plutocrat as his successor. Also, some of the strongest advocates for social Conservatism among Republicans went down to defeat in many races. At least two states legalized gay marriage by popular vote, something unheard of until this year, and also marijuana for medicinal and/or recreational purposes was legalized in several states.
