The Typical Greenwald “Muddle”: Progressive Libertarian Oracle, Except when He’s Not
Glenn Greenwald has this marvelous ability to make declarative statements from his own frequently overwrought pre-suppositions, which he then feels the need to immediately hedge because he knows the reality is somewhat different from the false meme he presents.

According to a Gravis Marketing Ohio poll, Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson
Poetic Justice for the Internet Junkie Surfing the Net
Now it can be revealed. Jimmy Carter’s grandson first uncovered Romney’s ‘47%er’ video while doing amateur oppo research in defense of Papaw’s besmirched rep. “The hidden camera video — it was all blurred out at the beginning, and it was mysterious,” Carter said. “It piqued my interest.” Something told him
