Thank you Pookie, enjoy the weekend
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
�More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.�-Woody Allen

Thanks, pookie!

One neat thing. The White House doesn't leak like it used to.

Or the NYT would have announced Trump's visit to the troops in time for the Iraqis and ISIS to set up SAM batteries....

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Remember that time when TOS had a fellow mistakenly let it slip that Bush was visiting... I think that was about the time the "Loose Lips Sink Ships" tagline was introduced. It only takes one, even if by mistake.

Yeah, and I watched Geraldo just before he became un-embedded draw a map in the sand showing what the Marine unit he was with was going to do to assault an Iraqi position. IIRC, that was the end of embedded journalists during the Gulf War. They got press briefings after that.

'Loose lips sink ships' originated with the U-boats cruising the eastern seaboard (WWI and WWII)--sailing times and routes/destinations were to be kept secret, and there were spies along the waterfront listening in at the bars and the like...
