It has become quite difficult to determine if Hillary Clinton wants to stake her electability claims upon the popular/primary vote -- as she claimed gave her the victory in Texas -- or go with the Electoral College votes argument in her appeals for super delegate endorsements. Well, now the two have come together, sort of like a crash, in the comments of Clinton supporter, Evan Bayh as reported at International Herald Tribune.

Clinton backer points to Electoral College votes as new measure

It's a bit of a maze to navigate, tormented logic and such. But hell, why not. Ready? Get set. Go.

We have been hearing reports of how our military seems to be sliding into the abyss, overtaxed, over-deployed, insufficiently armored, personnel leaving the military, inadequate training, and enlistments down.

At the same time, we are reading how "security" contractors such as Blackwater -- otherwise known as "hired guns" -- we are learning what a growth industry this has become.

So here it is, side-by-side, a deteriorating military and an expanding market of hired mercenaries.

Is anyone else finding this troubling? And what is the difference between the Ruby Ridge militia and Blackwater contractors?
