This is so true. Business spying is rampant. There is some outrage when there is government spying. There is some outrage over international sovereign spying. But not enough about business/criminal spying. It has to be rampant on Wall street. It has to rampant in Wash DC. I can tell you it is rampant in the entertainment industry. I am not sure what can be done about. Most people don't see it, are not big victims of it yet, or don't know. So they don't care or don't believe it. That is part of the problem. Than what to do with the progressively advancing technology all the while more and more of everything is connected. Thirdly one would have to assume people who are enforcing it are honest and not corruptible. Good luck. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/15519811/ns/business-cnbc_tv/t/cnbc-special-report-big-brother-big-business/

Professor Vermes. Born Jewish in Hungary and became a priest to escape Nazism later studied the Dead Sea Scrolls has a fascinating view of Jesus. His scholarship in this area helped transform long held dogma about Jesus. OF course there will always be debate. And there will always be mystery. He puts more emphasis on the fact that Jesus was Jewish. That the Jews did not kill Jesus (though some of them may not have minded the Romans doing it). Most of all he admires Jesus for being a genius and closer to spiritual truth then anyone but nonetheless he was still a man: http://www.economist.com/news/obituary/21578017-geza-vermes-jew-ex-priest-and-translator-dead-sea-scrolls-died-may-8th-agedI recall being offended by Ann Coulter comment on Donny Deusch stating that Christianity is an improvement on Judaism. After reading this article I would prefer that both religions are great with wonderful teachings we can all learn and hope to live by.

Forgive me for questioning the network known for "fake but true" and the most transparent administration ever, but without evidence this isn't "Operation shiny object", I'll treat this story as the bull it most likely is.

Gov't reaps windfall profits on student loans When President Obama pushed his student loan legislation he said it would stop greedy banks from getting handouts, but in reality it led to the government takeover of student loans. Since Obama has taken office, student loan debt has risen 250% and the administration projects windfall profits of $51 billion dollars, or nearly the same amount the major banks earn combined.

Well, I'm not seeing anything about it anywhere else, maybe BD's source got it wrong? What say you BD?
Unsure. There are plenty of outlets covering the story, but all that I find lead back to the CBS report.

Did or did not the Reps modify the actual language?
Hard to say. What's the provenance of the various emails?
