It is being said that a new app may soon be available for your phone that would indicate if whomever you were speaking to were speaking the truth.
If this does become available I certainly hope it is first marketed in Washington D.C. and supplied free to members of the working press. Assuming, of course that there are any members of the free press left that would want it.

* I wonder if this app will work on any news we pick up on our phones...might put the scalawags out of business.

It's beginning to look as though...
at least as far as Iowa is concerned that the voters will break the (nasty and self defeating) habit of decades, of supplying Massachusetts with a third Senator. It has not happened as yet, but I am hopeful
 and optimistic about it.

It is very interesting to note that it was not until the Democrats brought in an army of Democratic heavy weights to shore up Braley, that Ernst finally took off from a dead heat situation. (the Republicans are fresh out of heavy weights just now)

As for Myself...
I rely on Fox News and Public Television, some Cable News Network (mostly if I wish to be bored) and any and all BBC and Canadian News when I can get it. 
As the election approaches I'm sort of down to Public TV and Fox and I have to take both with a high dose of salt. It seems that ABC, CBS and NBC are rather trying to ignore what may be about to happen and it will be very interesting to see how they handle it if what I think (hope) is about to happen...does happen. I expect they will play it down as a sort of off year aberration, and that it may well be.
