Friday Night Thoughts

Our President has had a tough week or two, concerning the badly botched rollout of Obamacare. Considering the ACA is his sole domestic policy "achievement," you'd think he'd have made sure it was smooth as glass. However, he did not.

A new Wall Street Journal - NBC News poll finds both the President and the Congress at historic lows in popularity. This is no surprise, to me anyway.

On another topic, props to Barry O for not getting the U.S. militarily involved in Syria. As we noted several months ago, the U.S. has no dog in that fight. Leaving well enough alone in Egypt has suited me too.

About the phone surveillance bugging our European allies, they need to understand there is no such thing as electronic privacy. Whatever we phone, text, tweet, blog, email, or post on Facebook, we must consider none of it secure, none of it private. We should put nothing into electronic media which we'd be embarrassed to have become immediate public knowledge.
