blog log “I support the guy, but let’s be realistic — he really caused a lot of intelligence damage. He is going to have to pay for it by exile or jail. No other choice.” BROBO, a commenter at nymag.com, reacts to Edward Snowden’s revelation that he has requested a plea deal with the Department of Justice. He shared that he is willing to go to jail if it means returning to the U.S., but he has heard nothing from the agency. Snowden is under asylum in Russia after leaking troves of classified government information — including the National Security Agency’s spying programs.
“You knew pizza rat would become a Halloween costume but did you imagine it’d be sexified?” @WISESOPH isn’t very surprised to see a Pizza Rat Halloween costume. Pizza Rat took the Internet by storm last month after someone uploaded a video online of a rat dragging a whole slice of pizza down stairs in the New York City subway. What is surprising is the sexy, body-hugging take from lingerie company Yandy.com. The sassy rat costume can be yours for $90.

“Thank goodness Bernanke wrote an account with some honesty in it, while events are still semi-fresh in people’s minds.” R. LAW, a commenter at nytimes.com, appreciates the candor from Ben Bernanke, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, in his upcoming memoir. In “The Courage to Act,” Bernanke writes that he and the treasury secretary were “deliberately quite vague when discussing whether we could have saved Lehman,” concerned that acknowledging that inability would have “hurt market confidence.”
“Won’t be buying this magazine ever again. Such disrespect to the actual first family. Shame on you Cosmo” @STHJRSYGRL is outraged that Cosmopolitan magazine referred to the Kardashians as “American’s First Family” for its 50th birthday edition. Twitter was up in arms over the cover, pointing out the obvious fact that, actually, the Obamas are America’s first family.
“The vice president is mourning. He’s also calculating.” EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE , at politico.com, reveals that Joe Biden himself was the one to leak the story about his dying son Beau asking him to run for president. According to Dovere, Biden called New York Times columnist and renowned Hillary Clinton-critic Maureen Dowd with the details, which boosted calls for him to run for president.
