Carson ahead in Iowa.


This is the first time in a long, long time that I've liked either of the top 2 candidates. Prefer Trump over Carson though. Carson is very low-keyed but still a great conservative.

Be ironic if we suddenly have a string of Prezzies that aren't white and/or male. Not just one or two but like 44.

Well she was the head of the dept that employed Stevens, so yeah, she's going to be grilled. Especially since all she does is fight giving over info at every turn.

A decade ago, Charles Pugh was living the dream, making a six-figure salary as an anchorman at Fox 2 news in Detroit.

Political stardom came next, as Pugh would become the second-most powerful political figure in Detroit, only after the mayor, when he won the seat of City Council president in 2009 as the top vote-getter in the city.

Today, he's a waiter at a soul food restaurant in Harlem.

This looks like one of the better years to watch and laugh at our political process. Just a complete joke. Fun stuff.

This business with Hillary retroactively committing crimes of leaking classified data is getitng silly.

"The documents are being upgraded at the request of the intelligence community because they contain a category of top secret information,"

Translation: the documents weren't obviously classified at the time Hillary had them.

Even if Clinton didn't write or forward the messages, she still would have been required to report any classification slippages she recognized in emails she received. But without classification markings, that may have been difficult, especially if the information was publicly available.

Translation: we classify public information so you can't talk about it even when it's in the public domain, which is ridiculous and not a new problem (e.g. Wikileaks). When something isn't secret anymore, acting as it if were secret is stupid and defies common sense.

And I have Tahoe to thank for staring at this again -- calling Hillary "the criminal" made me look at the most recent news article that news.google.com presented about the situation, rather than ignoring it like I had for months.

Of course, Hillary's probably a crook for other reasons, but that's true of most politicians.

To think that Hillary never had any classified material sent to her as SOS by email is just plain ignoring common sense, imo.
