MOREGlenn Greenwald: U.S. Radically Changes Its Story Of The Boats In Iranian Waters To An Even More Suspicious One
Government's first instinct is to lie. When news first broke of the detention of two U.S. ships in Iranian territorial waters, the U.S. media — aside from depicting it as an act of Iranian aggression

happened. One of the boats, we were told, experienced “mechanical
failure” and thus ... MORECapitalism: The Worst System -- Except For All The Rest

MOREDavid Harsanyi: Obama's Legacy Is Executive Abuse
Governing without Congress. Over the winter break, I finally got around to binge-watching Parks and Recreation.
