Across the country, we are install machines capable of taking high-resolution 3-dimensional nudge images of children.

We do not live in this world.
Obama will not push through reforms that would end political favoritism.
He’s too busy bailing out failing companies.

The anger may be enough to seriously harm the Democrats ability to govern from the left, which would be a good thing, but I fear actually dismantling the monster that’s been created over the past 15 years will not happen anytime soon…

it seems that the dems don’t care about their continued ability to govern from the left, for whatever reason.
the republicans would do well to start planning on how to “pick up the pieces.”
