You should plan ahead.

I live in Georgia where alcohol sales are prohibited on Sundays - unless you're in a restaurant located in a "wet" county. Meals today are consumed in-house, as are any adult beverages.

I planned ahead.

Plenty of broken windows.

Especially when those with smaller glass houses are clearing their yards and using yours as the receptacle.

But we make a damn good scapegoat for a world full of hypocrites.

Naw, the US is the Great Satan, remember?

It still seems really odd that Assange hasn't threatened to release a bunch of embarrassing Russian stuff. That tells me that 1) they are a lot better at keeping secrets than we are and 2) Assange is probably smart enough to know that were he to do so Putin and Co. would rub him out almost immediately. So he chose the US as a target since he can be assured all we will do is wring our hands and let attorneys argue while he points and says 'See how great I am? I embarrassed the biggest power on Earth and they can't do squat'.

Then the hackers and other fringe of society types send him money $10, $20, $50 at a pop so they can feel they have done their part for anarchy. Of course, Assange pisses the money away chasing Scandinavian women.

What an shiny happy person.
