●● The U.S. ambassador in Kabul sent two classified cables to Washington in the last week expressing deep concerns about sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.  Yet, Obama is reportedly set to send at least 40,000 more troops there.  Change I can’t believe in.

●● How Credit Raters Fended Off Oversight from Congress and the SEC.  I prefer the title: How A Bought Off Congress Played Dumb and Looked the Other Way.

●● Texas Governor Rick Perry is insane:
