Transparency

Some politicians have more important things
 to deal with than crushing leakers.

The Obama administration is laying the smackdown on whistleblowers in the most X-treme manner seen in 40 years. 

New York Times executive editor Bill Keller is patiently suggesting that the government do a better job of keeping its secrets so the NYT can stop bumming the gov't out by reporting on them. 

USAID suspended a giant international development contract, causing a multinational NGO to implode, with almost no explanation of why.

Is transparency a pipe dream?

Positively speaking, though, with the amount of TV I'm watching to distract myself from the above stated horrors, my brain should be devoid of nutrition in a matter of weeks, leaving me invulnerable to 2012's impending zombie apocalypse.
