I went onto my stock account to enter a couple of trades and afterwards went onto the message board to catch up on things.  One of my companies (Expedia Inc.) was needing my shareholder votes, so I opened it up and started voting 'yes' on the proposed list of board members.  (I only vote yes if the company has increased in value beyond what I paid into it.)  Imagine my surprise when I saw the following name come up on the list; ELECTION OF DIRECTOR: CHELSEA CLINTON   Well, to be fair, she wasn't the only lib on the list.  Barry Diller's name was on it too.   
That is what rich folks do, put each other on boards, but it is still a bit worrying. What has she really done to be on the board of directors of companies? Help run a Foundation into the ground (the Clinton Foundation is laying off people and losing foreign donations?)

Note to the left, you really don't want to get us angry.  You wouldn't like us when we're angry.

Wonderful article by Senator Mike Lee from Politico magazine.  I am as guilty as the next person for seeking out history that confirms my pre-existing beliefs.

How the ‘Hamilton Effect’ Distorts the Founders

Too often, we look to history not to understand it, but to seek out confirmation for our pre-existing beliefs. That’s a problem.

Yep. Same. One has to try not to do so.
If we only get the already parsed and edited "Federalist Papers" and "Anti-Federalsist Papers"  down to a twitter, short-attention span audience. I'm working on Gibbon but it is hard, what with this text limit and hard typing on phones and pads.
Actually Paine and Franklin might have anticipated this stuff with some of their works! Style of short tweets and social media.

I'd love to see an army of drones descending on that house.  It's legal for the government to kill Americans in America now.  ;)

Interesting article.  I don't agree with the author on everything but he is reasonable and I agree with the main point of his  article.
