I’ve already written this once but it bears repeating. It’s sad (SAD!) that it has come to this kind of an election, the lowest of the low, but there is silver lining: people taking sides. The mainstream American left being strongly anti-Putin is just great. So is seeing the likes of Greenwald, Snowden and Ass. either totally discredited or at least severely diminished in their eyes. The choices are clearer than never before.
