Thanks to BON the Magi, and Jonathan Wilson and Lindsay Morrison, who sent along their response to being dubbed “Gralien Newshounds” yesterday:
I am amazed by the Yale study on face recognition. They didn’t mention it in the article, but I believe I would be safe in saying police sketch artist’s days are numbered. Simply astounding!
The one about Obama proposing to end NSA spying… “President Barack Obama plans to ask Congress to end the bulk collection and storage of phone records by the National Security Agency but allow the government to access the “metadata” when needed, a senior administration official said on Monday.”
He didn’t need Congress when he amped the NSA up on steroids. Why does he need Congress now? Worst president ever.
