Aside from the fact no one appointed Eddie to be interpreter of the constitution, he is seeking asylum in a country that not only surveils dissenters (as opposed to terrorists who are surveilled by the US), it is quite open about it and even proud, since they broadcast the recording of Maria Corina on state TV. <br /><br />ConsDemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312125878554292999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-84221847754381289392013-07-08T14:09:14.608+02:002013-07-08T14:09:14.608+02:00Daniel,

The result of the opposition having seen things too late, and having taken only cowardly steps have led us to intolerable situation of tolerating the intolerable.<br /><br />But hope is always a possibility if we chose it.My hope is that new tactics,new emotions, and new leaders will emerge from the depths of this recent despair.firepigettefirepighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158275219887987252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-8785702396686326342013-07-08T03:22:15.805+02:002013-07-08T03:22:15.805+02:00Barnum is in town.

A real whistle blower faces the consequences of his actions and do not run to the enemy."<br /><br />Precisely. I very much enjoyed reading that post. Interesting stuff. Well done.<br /><br />This absurd situation with Snowden cannot last that much longer. There are all kinds of grumblings coming from the political folk in Russia. The 'jerk' has clearly overdone his stay. As a last resort, Putin himself may show-up at the Moscow hotel, rip his shirt off for the foreign press, grab the little whiny creep/punk by the gonads and fling him onto the next outgoing aircraft.

According to thefreedictionary.com, the definition is: past·y 1 (pst) adj. past·i·er, past·i·est<br />1. Resembling paste in consistency.<br />2. Having a pale lifeless appearance; pallid: an unhealthy, pasty complexion.<br /><br />I believe the word you want is patsy (n. pl. pat·sies Slang; A person easily taken advantage of, cheated, blamed, or ridiculed. Also: 1. a person who is easily cheated, victimized, etc.<br />2. a scapegoat)<br /><br />I'm pretty sure that this was just a typo. Please delete if you like.<br /><br />Saludos!nicacat56https://www.blogger.com/profile/15873568282772090398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-65385151947449659452013-07-07T22:08:28.817+02:002013-07-07T22:08:28.817+02:00Would love to see Snowden picking coca leave for l...Would love to see Snowden picking coca leave for living in Bolivia.1979 Boat Peoplenoreply@blogger.com
