A tab-clearing Friday show, with a nice sampling of headlines. So here's one gigantic run-on sentence about what they were: that
Politico list; Snowden; the nuclear option

right in front of the White House; Robert Reich on
"Why We Should Stop Subsidizing Sky-High CEO Pay"; ACLU on
license plate tracking, and how cheap data storage might mean we need to rethink what privacy actually entails; the latest on
