Didn't Barbara Berlusconi give Balotelli a gag order?

Not sure, but it ain't at all what was painted Thursday. I have no love for Facebook and the like, which is an understatement. But I'm starting to give credible denial to all the corps that are saying that they have no knowledge nor record of any authorized taps by the gubernment. Makes me...

Actually, it would be one thing if Mark Zuckerberg said "We're not involved in this" and a bunch of others did not. But since so many are now saying they aren't involved in it, in what I know of the Valley here, something smells very fishy in the whole Guardian piece to begin with. Just sayin'...

Nobody wants to cure shit anymore. That would be like making an iPhone you'd never have to replace or upgrade for life. Saddling your population with subscription costs for chronic care instead of a cure represents a massive public drain on any country's GNP. That's wasted money no matter what...

Most people who cry and loosely throw around the suggestion that they live under a dictatorship, a socialist state, a facist state, a gulag state, etc., really ought to be sent to a real one for a year to give them a little perspective and shut them up.

More than you, dude. You can go back to reading about Jack, Jill, and the pail of water now.

So much for "most socialist president evah". :lol:
