#4 Squirrel!

This is degenerating like the folding of "man made global warming" with general climate change or 'illegal' immigration with regular immigration.

#6 I'd nominate this whole thread for snark of the day.

Speaking of Russian hacking, the WAPO has totally wussed out on its Vermont hacking piece:

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story ~~falsely, intentionally, and for obvious political purposes~~ incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. ~~But we have hopes.~~The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid.

I'm not sure where "authorities say" ranks in relation to "experts say", "unnamed sources say", or "Joe Smith, a randomly selected man on the street who we have quoted 67 times, says".

#7 Weird. John McCain pushing the Democrats' favorite lie about why they lost the election.

When will Arizona figure out he's not really a conservative?

#10 More un-necessary, idiotic, political games on taxpayer monies.

The investigation is over:
If you are too stupid to keep your malware in check on the server in your bathroom, you should not work for government.

#13 Had a front row seat as 4 RU diplomats were PNG's yesterday out of LAX. Pretty much a non-event with zero fanfare. The RU folks were cordial and professional and we maintained distance. No press no asshats asking questions other than "Can you tell me where the Swiss Air counter is??" The LAX ID card is a moron magnet.
