Update: With my laptop now working I am thinking of something to write a blog about for, today, Tuesday. No ideas yet but then again I've only been awake for 15 minutes and I'm rev iewing the news of the day.
Update:
I finally managed to log on to my account on my iPad so may yet get around to writing a real blog. Please check later
I hadn't thought of anything to blog about today although I considered writing about this story:

This is the comment I put on:
The premise is that somehow Adam Kinzinger has inside information proving that federal agents are engaging in a false flag operation aimed at ginning up fears that the Neo-Nazi movement is dangerous when it isn't. This opens a number of questions besides why he of all people knows about this. Primarily, why would the feds bother? I can see a few agents having infiltrated some groups to thwart terrorist acts but this is something entirely different. Just as law enforcement has an uncover officer infiltrate a drug gang I would want them to do the same with neo-NAZI and extremist militia groups. One officer isn't the same as a dozen or more pretending to be a Neo-NAZI group.
Why would they devote significant resources, numerous agents, to stage protests where all or most of the participants are agents? Perhaps we're supposed to believe this is all a move by Homeland Security to make sure it gets all the funding it wants. After all domestic terrorism has been named as a greater threat than international terrorism. Maybe it's no threat at all.
With no US Maddox destroyer to send into the Gulf of Tonkin maybe they have to stage incidents to achieve a poltical outcome. Maybe our takepayer dollars are being used to pay FBI agents $74,000 a year to dress up as Neo-Nazi protesters.
This is from the conservative website Red State where the furor about this seems to have originated.
My laptop power port is broken and isn't charging. I am running on 33% battery power. I don't have time to write an entire blog about this.
After talking to an Apple tech advisor on the phone and have her take me through several steps to see if the problem could be fixed I have an appointment late this afternoon at the Apple Genuis Bar to hopefully have the problem resolved.
