Can someone bail me out of my parents' house so I can stay there too?
No incredibly subtle biting satire intended - I'd just like a break in a 10 bedroomed house in Norfolk to watch the snow come down.

A charming English cottage would do. The rates per week seem reasonable.

I'll tell you what Sky - you rent a cottage any time you like, and I'll be your free driver, housekeeper and tourguide. Well, when I say anytime, that will mean outside of term-time fairly quickly. Get in soon for a real bargain! Come now and we might even give you some snow Ah soddit - come next week and have Christmas right here. We're not charming - at least our house isn't - but we're definitely English. I've checked the freezer - we have enought to feed at least ten people. Twenty your size!

geez, I will take you up on that during my retirement years. Except, you'll be married with babies by then and I'll be an old lady. I promise. I won't be a biddie or wear attends. I just need a tour guide lively enough to keep both of us entertained. You'll do.
It can't be any draftier than where I live. |

A drone strike on SG? Because you didn't get a piece of the cake?

WikiLeaks needs to target B of A anyway so action was just a matter of time. I'm not keen on the wholesale dumping of information but WikiLeaks does have a positive role to play in our increasingly closed corporate and government cultures.

I would say that there is value which may be gained from whistleblowers in closed corporate and government circles when it does not deal with stolen and classified data being dumped wholesale onto the world stage. Wikileaks is a criminal organization and should be treated as a form of internet terrorists.

I would suggest that way too much content is classified as shown by the hum drum nature of the bulk of the leaks.

I would agree. But it is not the job of the these criminals to make such determinations. Often the most innocuous bits of information pieced together gives the clear picture. By leaving out various bits your enemy can never get a clear picture about what you know or what you think. This is not the role of some fools who think they know better. So we are stuck with what we have at this point. If we need to make changes from this point forward, so be it. We can make changes.

I just realized Assange looks like Neil Patrick Harris. I keep expecting him to say: these leaks, they will be LEGEND....wait for it...ARY.
