This is Elizabeth Warren’s moment



CNN has this opinion piece This is Elizabeth Warren’s moment.

Warren has been a huge attraction on the campaign trail during the past few months, speaking about these very issues and promising to devote her time to this cause.

Ever since Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy died, Democrats have not been able to find a new liberal lion to champion the progressive economic traditions that been so integral to the party since the New Deal.

President Obama, who many Democrats thought would be that person, has failed to live up to expectations. He surrounded himself with economic advisors who were comfortable with the status quo and whose pragmatism pushed him away from the bolder policies that the Democratic base hoped for.

Now, with the disclosure of these tapes, Warren has a very real chance to prove to Democrats that she is the new voice.

This is what I have been saying.   Go Elizabeth!!

I found the link to this CNN article in the Ready for Warren Facebook post.


Don’t Get Robbed by a Banking Trojan

PC Magazine has the article Don’t Get Robbed by a Banking Trojan.

These last few strategic approaches take a considerable amount of effort—they’re probably beyond what most people are willing to do to protect themselves. And, the fact is, even if you change your banking strategy, an online bank robber who specifically targets you will probably get your money.

Fortunately, that’s not how they operate. They cast a wide net and go for the easy targets, and the easy targets keep them plenty busy. By keeping up with online security best practices, you can avoid being one of those easy marks, and most cybercrooks will turn their attention elsewhere.

I have quoted the last two paragraphs of the article to show you why you should at least try to protect your online banking.  You’ll have to read the article to see the easier steps that they recommend.  I am not even going to talk about what approaches I do or do not use.  The less info about my practices that I make public, the better.
