Opinions/Editorials Title: Politics As Total War Politics As Total War When Andrew Breitbart offers $100,000 for a private email list-serv archive, essentially all bets are off. Every blogger or writer who has ever offered an opinion is now on warning: your opponents will not just argue against you, they will do all they can to ransack your private life, cull your email in-tray, and use whatever material they have to unleash the moronic hounds of today's right-wing base. Yes, the Economist was right. This is not about transparency, or hypocrisy. It's about power. And when you are Andrew Breitbart, power is all that matters. There is not a whit of thoughtfulness about this, not an iota of pretense that it might actually advance the conversation about how to deal with, say, a world still perilously close to a second Great Depression, a government that is bankrupt, two wars that have been or are being lost, an energy crisis that is also threatening our planet's ecosystem, and a media increasingly incapable of holding the powerful accountable. Meanwhile, the GOP leaders, having done all they can to destroy a presidency by obstructing everything and anything he might do or have done to address the crippling problems bequeathed him by his predecessor, are now also waging a scorched earth battle to prevent the working poor from having any real access to affordable health insurance. This is what the right now is: no solutions, just anger, paranoia, insecurity and partisan hatred.

I was essentially advised of this by an agent from my ISP about 30 minutes ago. He also warned that the average private website has acquired data mining features for pay.

#16. To: Skip Intro (#15) That's today. Yesterday it was " Hit my website, your reverse address becomes my property, kookie. " Don't understand the term 'data miner/mining' huh skippy? Ask somebody to explain it too you. As for the assertion about if you hit my company website, yep, the information YOU LEAVE does belong to me and the corporation. Got a problem with that? Tough shit.
