Alright, everyone, that's it for me this week. See you next time.
Before we get to the links, let me leave you with a few lines from Pink Floyd's "Mother," which on his current tour of The Wall show Roger Waters, who wrote the song, turns into a powerful critique of the surveillance state:
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you.
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She won’t let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm.
So, my friends, do you feel all cozy and warm, safe from the Enemy, now that your privacy has been traded off for "security"?
All Things Democrat: It's Cory Booker's race to lose.
Perrspectives: It's red states that need Obamacare the most.
Take My Country Back: It's just mental issues, this gun violence.
And over at my place: Conservative goals and the NSA. They like government just fine when it suits them.
