    i completely agree… i feel myself having hope for the first time in a long time because something is happening. i see it in the populist posters generated from the #OWS movement and this… very well could become a defining moment. it has that kind of power.

    ThumbnailAnthony Weiner, it turns out, is just another in a long line of liars. Why should this surprise me? It seems standard issue, this lowly caliber of politician. So I have to ask: is this as good as it gets? And I want to know: why did he lie? Was it out of shame, survival, or [...]
