    Stan Greene|Updated Oct 27, 2016

    'That's because you're fascinated with sex, Megyn," said the grey haired professor and republican strategist, to the beautiful blond TV personality.

    The Obama administration officially accused Russia of orchestrating hacking efforts to interfere with the election process on Friday. It cannot be doubted that the US administration will have to retaliate for this act of cyberwarfare. The retribution may take the form of a cyber counterattack--what the US did a few years ago to get back at the North Koreans for hacking Sony studios in Culver City, CA. We may never know what it is, or whether it's effective. "I love...
