personal trolling

* jane:

"Chris Matthews just said on Hardball that the "CIA leak grand jury meets tomorrow, Friday." According to Christy, grand jury members are given a phone number to call in that will let them know if they’re going to be meeting the next day, so it’s entirely possible that someone would know.
Matthews says that they’ll be covering it tomorrow at 5 and 7 pm. We will, of course, be all ears first thing in the morning. Could it be Fitzo-de-Mayo?

* it strikes me that everyone is missing the key dodge in Preznit Blinky's statement:

"We are not mining or trolling through the personal lives of innocent Americans."

note he didn't say that they weren't trolling through phone calls and emails and medical records and financial records etc - but people "lives." It scarcely matters any more because noone believes a word he says anyway. Of course, once you combine the phone/email spying with the Matrix which can "take the scrap of a license plate, a gender, skin color, hair color - and you could place those things in, with maybe a zipcode - and you could find a list of people who fit exactly that qualification" - then the distinction between that and "trolling personal lives" becomes kinda moot.
