    With respect to the whole Israel spy issue: meh. It’s been known for a while they are extremely aggressive in intel collection. If you’re going to get agents in on everyone else, expect your mail to be read.

    One “Glee” star is dead from a drug overdose. Another is now arrested for child pornography. Can’t wait for the ten year “Where Are They Now?” cast reunion.

    Flooding in Missouri is bad, bad, bad. I live in STL and getting around even in the high and dry areas is a chore with all the shut down roads and bridges.
