As Massachusetts Governor, Romney Was Often Away
BOSTON — When the ceiling collapsed in the Big Dig tunnel here, Gov. Mitt Romney was at his vacation home in New Hampshire. When the Bush administration warned that the nation was at high risk of a terror attack in December 2003, he was at his Utah retreat. And for much of the time the legislature was negotiating changes to his landmark health care bill, he was on the road.

A new poll found that only 47 percent of voters find Mitt Romney to be trustworthy. Then Romney was like, “Well, I hope it’s not the same 47 percent I don’t care about.” – Jimmy Fallon

The Real War Is Lurking Out There
Why didn’t anyone tell us? is the question everyone will be asking. Well, not everyone. A few of us, particularly Richard Clarke and more recently Leon Panetta, have been warning the nation. But too few have been listening. The threat, of course, is cyber warfare, the destructive use of computers to crash large-scale computer-based systems, what experts call the critical infrastructure.

Endeavour Arrives in LaLa Land
The Space Shuttle Endeavour is slowly moved down Martin Luther King Blvd. in Los Angeles . In thousands of Earth orbits, the space shuttle Endeavour traveled 123 million miles. But the last few miles of its final journey are proving hard to get through. Endeavour’s 12-mile crawl across Los Angeles to the California Science Museum hit repeated delays Saturday, leaving expectant crowds along city streets and at the destination slowly dwindling. The shuttle arrived Sunday night at it’s destination. Photo/Alex Gallardo
Peace.
