Let it snow!
My trusty Ranger is buried, but it got me to the store. A very impressive storm indeed.
Now I'm really getting pissed off.
From a loyal Obama supporter:
"Obama looked like he could’ve been something different. He ain’t.
So this is it, folks.
Change you can believe in?
More like bullshit you can take a bath in, if you ask me."
I'm not quite that annoyed, but maybe I should be.
Obama seems to cave on every issue we elected him to change. Where's the courage?

Predator drones use less encryption than your TV, DVDs
From the people who brought you Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan:
"What three-letter Internet acronym best fits the bizarre news out of Iraq and Afghanistan that militants there have been intercepting US Predator drone video feeds using laptops and a $30 piece of Russian software: LOL, WTF, or OMG?
Actually, all three are appropriate for something this farcical, horrible, and brain-numbing. The reason that the transmissions could be picked up easily by a cheap satellite recording program? They were broadcast in the clear between the drone and ground control. That's right—no encryption was used.
Perhaps, you might be thinking to yourself in a mental bid to make the military seem competent here, no one could have suspected this would happen. But they did suspect it, because it had been happening for a decade already. The Wall Street Journal, which broke the story, included this tidbit in its report: "The potential drone vulnerability lies in an unencrypted downlink between the unmanned craft and ground control. The US government has known about the flaw since the US campaign in Bosnia in the 1990s, current and former officials said. But the Pentagon assumed local adversaries wouldn't know how to exploit it, the officials said."
The article goes on to point out that TV shows are more protected than drone broadcasts.
What arrogance and incompetence!
