  Attack on Bin Laden Used Special Radar-Evading Helicopter

  “A look at the stealth helicopters US used to get #Bin_Laden: http://nyti.ms/ist64q”
  Just a report with a few tidbits. 
  What it tells me is the Pakistanis are definitely suspect.  With the hard drives it is evident that the situation is not as reported.

The dog is not much of a surprise.  I am definitely open to a dog in the group.  I want a few days of discussion as to the specific one, both breed and individual.
A standard poodle or a pitbull pup or a small hound?  I really don't know.

Op-Ed: Thinking Through Assassination

There are moral and practical considerations to the targeted killings our government undertakes.

It looks easy but the "can of worms" is daunting.  This was the shrub's excuse for Iraq when all was said. "They tried to kill my dad."

Jerry Brown’s Last Stand

By ADAM NAGOURNEY

Back at his old job, he’s trying to teach Californians that they need government more than they think they do.

"Although Brown did not put it this way, this idea is the reverse of a Republican strategy known as “starve the beast,” in which politically popular tax cuts are intended to force subsequent reductions in government spending. The notion is most identified with Grover Norquist, the antitax advocate (and a powerful foe of Brown’s bid to extend California’s tax increases), who has said he wants to shrink government so that you could “drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.” What Brown is proposing is to demonstrate just how disruptive a radically smaller government would be. Government might become so diminished that Californians demand to rescue it from Norquist’s bathtub.
If Brown can’t win his battle over taxes, this line of thinking goes, the next best thing would be for him to lose his battle over taxes. California would once again become a great national laboratory. “It will be wrenching,” Brown said."
Desperation.  Practical.      Vote.  Vote your interests.
