— Gabriel Malor Eleven years, I can hardly believe it. As you go about your day, keep in mind not just the people who died on 9/11 but also our service members and allied service members who have died since then to ensure that 9/11 never happens again.
In news, I hereby officially declare the Obama Clinton convention bounce over.
A Democratic poll out of Minnesota has Rep. Bachmann up only 2 points over her challenger Jim Graves. I find it hard to believe, but it's something to keep an eye on.

I won't ever forget the events of those days. I also remember the exact time that the democrats decided that it was more important to destroy Bush than to support our country: Hillary Clinton standing in the well of the Senate waving that paper with the "Bush knew" headline.
And I see today that they are dragging out that canard again, just in case we might think that Bush did a pretty good job.
I cannot help but think that these are evil people. Just plain evil.

I saw the self identification question at the bottom of the poll, and it had D at 33, R at 23.
D+6 or D+10. Yeah, nice work.
Regardless, it was yet another crap sample, giving us yet another poll worthy of scofferation.

I'm assuming your students are at least old enough to remember the day? I've seen plenty of those commemorative slide shows, and many of them are quite well done, but there is something of an artificiality to them.
What I mean is, I already have my memories. They're in there, and some of them are difficult to face, so if I insert someone ELSE'S in, it in some ways allows me to experience it without having to really feel it.
Does that make sense? If so, consider doing some sort of meditation/mindfulness exercise with them, so they must recall their own feelings and thoughts and images of the event.
Just an suggestion.

The Democrat/Media Complex attempt at Republican voter demoralization seems to have only worked for 72 hours. Helluva job, fellas!
If you were one of those running about with your hair on fire screaming, "Doom! Doom!," I certainly hope you have worked off your sugar high by now.
It's OK, we won't point and laugh. Too much, anyway.
This race is now, and has been, despite all Dem efforts for 6 months, tied amongst registered voters. It will most likely remain tied amongst registered voters until about a week before election day.
Then we see who has the most motivated, most likely of those voters, and gets them out. Which I believe will be Romney.
Hence the Zen calm from Boston and the "settle the fuck down you ninnies" email from Romney HQ yesterday.
BTW, Ryan's statement on the Chicago teachers' union strike was well-played, indeed. Well played.

Truer words were never spoken.

Well, let's get on to a little bit of Hollywood today. On this date in 1920, the young star Olive Thomas died. A former Ziegfeld and Midnight Frolics girl, the lovely Thomas soon made it into motion pictures and married Jack Pickford, the brother of superstar Mary. Known as "Everybody's Sweetheart," by the time of her death, she was popular enough to be earning $3000 a week.
The Pickfords fought constantly, though by all accounts Olive and Jack loved each other deeply. In 1920, the two decided to take a second honeymoon in Paris. During the evening of September 5, the two made the rounds of all of the city's fashionable bistros, eating, drinking and dancing till the wee hours. Back in their suite at the Hotel Ritz, Jack either fell asleep or stepped outside for a snort of cocaine (no one has ever known). Olive, too, may have taken cocaine, but this has never been proven).
She picked up a bottle. The label was in French - which Thomas was unsure in - but she believed it to be either water or sleeping pills (the story varies). No matter what, she did drink it, only to scream in pain. The bottle contained mercury bichloride, which had been prescribed as a topical treatment for Jack's syphilis.
Jack rushed her to the hospital, but it was too late. She'd swallowed too much, and died in agony on September 11. For years, the rumor spread that Olive had actually committed suicide - either through alcoholic despair, hatred of her marriage or as a result of a syphilis infection - but most researchers believe hers was a tragically mistaken death.
Sorry for the depressing story, but today's a depressing day. Let's keep our eyes on the prize and do our best to ignore the shit-flinging monkeys of the left on this of all days.
Hope all you 'rons and 'ronettes have a wonderful day.

Los Angeles officials are considering a plan to turn the library card into a form of identification that the city's large illegal immigrant population could use to open bank accounts and access an array of city services.
The ID card would include a user's name, address and a photograph, and would be issued through the city's libraries. The city would partner with a private vendor to set up bank accounts for those who want to use the library ID as a debit card. Banks generally require official identification to open an account.
But anyone able to provide proof of L.A. residency would be eligible for the library card, Banking services would include direct deposit, international and domestic money transfers and the debiting.

Thought for the day:
Even in polls where Obama is reported as leading, Romney is generally ahead by sizeable margins among independents. Barring a collapse in base turnout, this lead among independents means Romney wins easily.
Think about that next time the Dems/Left/concern trolls desperately insist Romney's strategy of playing to independents and swing voters isn't working.......

I thought a big goal was to tighten easy identification. Wasn't Virginia one of those states that allowed for easy access to drivers licenses which the 9/11 terrorist took advantage of?

Applicants would pay a fee, around $15 to $20, for the card, and then would be able to deposit and withdraw money through a network of ATMs at local grocery stores and shopping malls. There could also be a monthly free of up to $2.99.

What most people do not know about That Day is that there were actually NINE transport planes that Air Traffic Control lost radio contact with, not just the four everyone knows about. You may recall the stories going around at the time that other cities besides NYC and DC had been targeted. Chicago, Houston, L.A., San Francisco were all mentioned. One may assume that is where these other planes were headed.
The Feds refused to say what happened on those other five planes, other than they all landed safely. Using Occam's Razor, one may assume that like on United 93, the passengers got wind of what was up and took steps, except they were able to do it before the Muzzie cockholsters were able to do what they did with Flight 93.
(BTW, my source for this was Aviation Week, where in an article on the FAA's command ATC, located outside of DC, and covering what took place there on 9/11, the other five planes were mentioned, albeit briefly.)

California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom accused the mortgage industry, Wall Street and a major federal regulator of colluding to pressure local governments into rejecting a controversial proposal to seize mortgages and restructure them.
Newsom on Monday sent a letter to the Department of Justice asking for an investigation into statements by some groups representing Wall Street investors and the mortgage industry that mortgage lending may become costlier in parts of the country where municipalities are weighing eminent domain proposals.
Newsom, in his letter to the Justice Department, framed the issue as one with civil rights overtones.
"San Bernardino County, which is furthest along in considering the use of eminent domain, has a predominantly minority population that suffered a disproportionate amount of subprime loan origination during the bubble," he wrote. "Limiting credit there because the local government acts to acquire and refinance these homeowners' loans is geographic redlining."
Newsom appears to be the highest-ranking California politician to speak out on the plan under consideration by the Southland communities. The former mayor of San Francisco has some ties to Mortgage Resolution Partners. One of that company's consultants, Peter Ragone, served as a spokesman for Newsom when the lieutenant governor was mayor.
How dare they try and stop our seizure of their property to directly benefit a major Democratic campaign contributer!
Also, racism.

So reads a sign outside a small roadside craft store in Utah. The message is clearly tongue-in-cheek. But if it hung next to the corporate offices of some of our nation's big financial institutions or auto makers, there would be no irony in the message at all.
It shouldn't surprise us that the role of American business is increasingly vilified or viewed with skepticism. In a Rasmussen poll conducted this year, 68% of voters said they "believe government and big business work together against the rest of us."

The gall of these SOBs is astounding. First they issue a report that says blacks have been "redlined" on home loans. The report is immediately discredited due to false sampling methods. But no matter, the CBC pushes a new CRA law through and balless Republicans go along so they will not be called "racist". They are called racist anyway.
Now because banks were forced to make "subprime loans" to people who could not afford them they are called racist because blacks were hardest hit when the loans went under.

Handel was hired by Komen as vice president for public policy in April 2011 after losing a Republican gubernatorial primary in Georgia, and was given the task of figuring out how to disengage Komen from Planned Parenthood. The grants from Komen were for breast-cancer education and screening, but the charity was under increasing pressure from anti-abortion groups and religious conservatives to cut all ties with Planned Parenthood because, in addition to its other services, it is the nationÂ’s leading provider of abortion.
Late in 2011, Komen made a final decision to halt the grants, which totaled $680,000 that year, and its president, Liz Thompson, informed Planned ParenthoodÂ’s president, Cecile Richards, of the decision in mid-December. However, the rift did not become public knowledge until Jan. 31, when the Associated Press broke the news.

My question is, where the hell was the Secret Service? A hug from a little old lady is one thing. A hug from a big, strapping guy like that is completely different.

Under this model, the probability that we will win outright control of the Senate is 54.4%

I suspect that Rahm would have bailed out of the O administration regardless of whether or not the Chicago mayoralty was up for grabs. He's smart enough to know a looming Hindenburg when he sees one.

Listening to the radio this morning I heard that Joe Biden will be delivering a 9/11 speech today at the site of the Flight 93 crash in Pennsylvania. What does it say about him --- let alone me -- that my first thought was, "Oh God, please, just for once, don't let him say something stupid and hurtful. Any other time is fine, but not today. Please."

I can remember 11 years ago when my 13 year old son said we needed to do something about this, that he needed to do something about this. He ended up enlisting after high school. I don't think he decided to enlist that day, but I could tell that he started changing his path back then. He eventually joined the Navy, became a Hospital Corpsman and ended up going to Afghanistan with the Marines.

Because this was a completely staged event, with the intent of making the spastic sociopath seem like something approximating a normal human being.
As mentioned above, it was a total failure due to the fact it made earflaps look even more like a spastic, with a heapin' helpin' of wussy thrown in for good measure.

At any given time day or night, the naked eye could view 6 to 10 planes taking off and landing, and ships entering port or anchored and awaiting escort in.
For several days after the attack all traffic was stopped save for the occasional high altitude screaming of interceptors and many sonic booms.
It served as a solemn and sobering reminder of where we then understood some of our previously taken for granted assets and freedoms could come under cowardly and deadly attack.
And our government's response to this atrocity was the TSA.

Dear Democrats,
I don't like seeing my elected officials -- even if I didn't elect them -- manhandled like ragdolls. It's embarrassing. To make up for this humiliating photo op, please set Bammy adrift in a dinghy in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and tell him he can't come home until he's wrestled a whale. And not some puny little baby whale either. No cutesie little inflatable Shamu swim toys. I'm talking a big frigging whale, preferably covered in barnacles. I want Bammy dwarfed by its baleen.
Oh, and pics or it didn't happen.

The direct warnings to Mr. Bush about the possibility of a Qaeda attack began in the spring of 2001. By May 1, the Central Intelligence Agency told the White House of a report that “a group presently in the United States” was planning a terrorist operation. Weeks later, on June 22, the daily brief reported that Qaeda strikes could be “imminent,” although intelligence suggested the time frame was flexible.
... if Bush had done anything that these bozos imply, they would have claimed he was merely seeking a war.

The testimony about the infamous massacre of Polish officers might have lessened the tragic fate that befell Poland under the Soviets, some scholars believe. Instead, it mysteriously vanished into the heart of American power. The long-held suspicion is that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt didn't want to anger Josef Stalin, an ally whom the Americans were counting on to defeat Germany and Japan during World War II.
Documents released Monday and seen in advance by The Associated Press lend weight to the belief that suppression within the highest levels of the U.S. government helped cover up Soviet guilt in the killing of some 22,000 Polish officers and other prisoners in the Katyn forest and other locations in 1940.

The suit — one of the last linked to the attacks 11 years ago today — could give the country its first courtroom airing of airport security blunders, and might end in a staggering jury award.
“This could be bigger than your wildest imagination,” said attorney Don Migliori, a partner in the Motley Rice law firm in Providence, and an expert on 9/11 litigation. “You don’t have any idea what will happen if this goes to a jury. Anything can happen.”

1. A heartbreaking story of a note discovered 11 years after it was written: http://tinyurl.com/9tqa68y
2. I keep seeing more and more "women of cover" as our boundlessly icky newspaper likes to call them, more and more in some form of hijab or another, sometimes even wearing the niqab. I don't know what to make of it. I do live within 2 miles of a fundie mosque, so maybe that's it, but it's still disturbing.
3. The worst sight I see is a father waiting with his daughter for her ride to school. Normally, that would be a sweet sight, but the girl is wearing Islamic style from central Africa, including a hijab. Who in hell considers a 7 or 8 year old girl a sex object? Oh, hey, Mohammed, didn't see you over there. Forget I brought it up.

Eleven years ago today I was in class at the University of New Hampshire when we started hearing about a plane flying into the WTC. We all thought it was some idiot who got tanked and flew his cesna into one of the towers. But then we got out of class and went to the Memorial Union Building and saw the crowds gathered around the big screen TV in one of the common areas, and we knew it was much, much worse than that.
I don't think I slept at all that night.
We had a vigil a few days later where people could get up and say a few words. One young man in the ROTC program got up on the podium and said, in tears, that he was willing and proud to go fight and defend this country to keep another 9/11 from happening.
I managed to get up on the stage before they brought the vigil to a close. "I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said, but I want to say this." Then I put my hand over my heart and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. It made me want to cry when the rest of the crowd -- a pretty big crowd -- did the same.
That was eleven years ago, when showing your love of country wasn't anathema on campuses across the country. If I tried to do that today, I'd probably be shot.

My old firm did pro bono work for the 9-11 victim's fund so when I think about today I think about holding in my hands the memory card that had the video of what turned out to be a couple's last dance that someone just happened to take when they went back to visit the husband's family in France right before 9-11. I think about the wife trying desperately not to weep when she told me about how anxious he was that they not miss a connecting flight in Heathrow because he had to be back because his company was rolling out on new product on 9-11 and he didn't want to let down his project team so he had to get back in time to help with the final roll out and about how happy he was when they made the flight and about how he kissed her goodbye that morning and said he'd try to meet her for dinner but he'd probably be too busy. It was the last thing he ever said to her.
I think about the four different first responders who, upon hearing what happened, loaded up the fire truck with every bit of equipment they could and who went to search for survivors and then for bodies. I think about how all four of them developed horrible, horrible respiratory diseases as a result of chemical exposure at the site. I think about how it took another two years for the terrorists to kill them and about the slow agony of those deaths.
I think about how there is not a hot enough part of Hell for those who caused this slaughter.
Someone came into our offices here last week and, more or less out of nowhere, began talking about 9-11 and it because very readily apparent he was a Truther. I had to basically lock myself in another room to keep from going out and screaming at him. Intellectually, I understand the need to claim some kind of conspiracy because that is easier than facing that there is pure evil in the world. Emotionally? I wanted to beat him until my hands shattered.

*RAGE*
Yeah, every time I hear that BS I get SO SO SO SO ANGRY. First off, for someone who claims to be a Catholic he clearly doesn't understand that "fallen angel" isn't some kind of heroic, poignant term. There's a reason the "fallen angel" motif is so popular among goth and death metal fans. He's equating those men and women with frigging LUCIFER.
And secondly, you know the reason he's doing it is because he thinks calling someone an angel is appropriate; and it can be in certain situations. But when he uses the term in such a cloying, infantalizing way -- as if he were talking about his grandkids, "Those little angels!" and just replacing "little" with "fallen" --- it's insulting. I want to punch him right in the mouth every time.
Dear Joe Biden,

Gateway Pundit (9/9/12) has a story of pizza guy (Scott Van Duzer) riding a bike through DC last summer, to help raise blood donations. The Surgeon General met him (July 11, 2012). The deputy Surgeon General was to ride bikes with him for 50 miles. Whether he actually met the President is unknown, but he was undoubtedly vetted by the Secret Service, he was known to this White House, and this was no random pizza stop.
Again, note the large space around the two for the video. No Secret Service men in sight for the bear-hug.

I managed to get up on the stage before they brought the vigil to a close. "I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said, but I want to say this." Then I put my hand over my heart and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. It made me want to cry when the rest of the crowd -- a pretty big crowd -- did the same.
That was eleven years ago, when showing your love of country wasn't anathema on campuses across the country. If I tried to do that today, I'd probably be shot.
If you tried that today, you'd be brought up in front of the university's Tolerance Tribunal under charges of saying offensive, and hateful words. Your accusers, of course will be allowed to remain anonymous, so as to avoid being further traumatized by your hatred.

Link in name to the other crap Biden said in the Green Bay speech.
Cuz you didn't think he only said one dumb thing, did you?
Well, I'm going with this line to accompany the SCOAMF line, unless/until someone tweeks it and makes it better:
Biden is a lecherous buffoon who can't tell the difference between a fallen angel and a hero.

That doesn't even make sense. And yes, I know -- don't look for sense from a regressive. But just WTF are they talking about? Since when did a school ever generate a profit? What does a school produce that would create a profit? You can't sell the children, no matter how much you might want to get rid of the little bastards.
I assume they're equating teacher layoffs and "pay cuts" (also known as, "not getting as big of a raise as we want") with private sector layoffs and "pay cuts" (also known as "pay cuts"). Which just proves teh kids are better off NOT in the classroom with these world class buffoons.

Ryan's statement re Chicago yesterday, from Hot Gas:
>>“We stand with the children and we stand with the families and the parents of Chicago because education reform, that’s a bipartisan issue. This does not have to divide the two parties. And so, we were going to ask, where does President Obama stand? Does he stand with his former Chief of Staff Mayor Rahm Emanuel, with the children and the parents, or does he stand with the union?
If Obama wanted to get involved, he sure as hell could have had a statement ready yesterday, but now he'll just look like he's reacting to this.
Heh.

The Pentagon is buying Chevrolet Volts to help “green up” the military—while propping up sales of the bailed-out automaker’s most politicized car.
The Department of Defense began purchasing the struggling luxury electric car, which retails at $40,000, this summer as part of its goal to purchase 1,500 such green vehicles. The Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar, Calif. purchased its first two Volts in July, and 18 more vehicles will come shortly to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where Air Force One is based, according to military magazine Stars and Stripes.
Up next Volt tanks and airplanes.

I understand that a lot of people are having reflective and somber emotions on this day but I'm still not over my initial anger emotion and still ascribe to the Toby Keith prescription of 'putting boot in their ass' more than we have already done.
I may have gotten over this initial emotion and gone to the next but for the fact that these motherfuckers are still out there and running their mouths and that our own country apparently dismissed this event by electing an incompentent enemy of America with the middle name, Hussein whose father and step father's were Muslim and was initially raised in a muslim country who subsequently made his circle of friends and mentors to be muslim.

Around 2000 I was visiting my Hatettes and had been catching some music in Tribeca; I was walking in the subway when a couple, obvious foreigners (it turned out from South Africa), stopped me for directions. I told them I probably wouldn't be much help and they asked me where the World Trade Center was. It was a starry night and I pointed to the south and said "You see where there are two things that are blotting out the stars? That's them."

This was brought up in the football thread last night.
1) The guy very likely visited the WH earlier this year.
2) The guy tipped the SS that he was going to do that.
3) So far, the only source for this claim of a boycott is from the, what looks to be increasingly politically motivated, pizzeria owner.
In short, par for the course for the Dems--phony from top to bottom.

I am thankful for the heroes of Flight 93. Thanks to them we will never see a highjacked plane in this country again. I know this because I have flown since planes were allowed back up into airspace. I had to fly often, and I had no choice. I flew on nearly empty jets for a couple of flights. I had no fear, honestly. Anytime there has been even a hint of weirdness by a passenger since 9/11, and there have been a couple of flights, you can meet the eyes of the businessman across the aisle and see resolve and the unspoken gaze of "are you paying attention?." Keeping that in mind, I am a woman who has a secret weapon: a very heavy travel purse. And I am ready and willing to get into the fight to take someone down who puts us in danger. I will never forget.

Like all things, it is up to parents to educate their children on important issues. The kids my son taught were amazed at how much they did not know.
It should be required for American children to watch the documentary made by the two French cameramen who were with the NYC firefighters (the Battalion Chief on the video, and his fire fighters brother who died, are distant cousins of my husband's).
So I doubt many, not just the Chicago children, know little about the events of eleven years ago. This, sadly, is public school today.

The Obamas walked somberly out of the residence of the White House and, flanked by hundreds of staff, bowed their heads at 8:46 a.m. — 11 years after American Airlines Flight 11 slammed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. The first couple placed their hands over their hearts as "Taps" played and a military color guard dipped its flags. Afterwards, they turned, clasped hands, and walked back into the presidential mansion.

On a less somber note (we all need some levity to get us through the day), this is an interesting headline from DRUDGE:
"Foul Smell Reported Across Southern California."
Link to MyFOXDC: http://tiny.cc/gw5gkw
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - A strong rotten egg smell had Southern Californians plugging their noses and crying foul Monday as air quality investigators scrambled to determine if the sulfurous scent was coming from the Salton Sea.

Good to know. My kids were in high school during 9/11, so there was always a tribute and they knew what was going on.
While I understand it was important, and I would have done the same, to shelter small children during the time it happened, when they were old enough to understand they should have had this as part of their history.
American children are receiving a horrible education, depending on individual teachers and where you live. I was lucky that the public schools here actually taught American and world history and the subject of war was not skipped over. However, quiz many high school kids on what is the significance of Pearl Harbor and they will have no idea.

On 9/11 I always think of a story our group CO told us when he visited us on deployment in Uzbekistan in 2003. He said he was running in a park once on a trail, and as he ran by a playground he could see a rattlesnake slithering through the grass nearby. He ran over to pick up a large rock to crush the snake with, and was trying to find the snake when someone asked him what the hell he was doing. He told the guy "There's a snake that needs killin'.", and said that the same thing was true for what we were doing on out deployment - helping kill the snakes that threaten us all.
All these years later, there are still a shitload of snakes that need killin'.

Dear Trolls,

More bad news for the "Party of Death" ...
TodayÂ’s Democrats are malleable on those moral issues where the Church is firm and they are rigid where the Church is open to debate.
It’s not news that Democrats began to lose their advantage in the Catholic vote about the same time they began embracing abortion. Despite high-profile Catholic defenders of the abortion license (Kathleen Sebelius, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden), millions of Catholics, especially observant Catholics, have left the Democratic party because of its willingness to compromise with what Pope John Paul II called the “culture of death.” One result of this is that the Catholic vote — once overwhelmingly Democratic — is now split fairly evenly between the two parties.

Our future VP Paul Ryan, last night, stepped up for the children and families impacted by the strike vs the union thugs and teachers already making $70k and refusing a 16% raise in salary.
Ryan said he stands with the children and families and Rahm Emmanuel on this issue, whereas Barry won't comment. I am sure Barry is in a snit over this unprecedented comment by our VP Ryan. It puts him between a rock and a hard place, and he does not do well with pressure or interruptions of his tee time. He may be a little wee-wee'd up (or weeded up) over this issue. Bravo, Paul Ryan!
It will be interesting to hear what Rush has to say today, as he thought Barry would be sweeping in like a super-hero to the union to negotiate peace.

Yes, because we should have just surrendered to the terrorists, sat in a fetal position and continued to take it up the squeakhole. That would have corrected it.
This is the type of idiotic magical unicorn thinking which led to September 11th in the first place. That we can simply leave people capable of perpetrating these acts alone and they will go away. They don't. They become more defiant until they show up on you porch and piss on your azaleas.
The message is clear. If you attack us, we will kill you. We will kill your friends, their friends and your neighbors. We will take over your country. And we will sacrifice all we have and all we are to ensure it doesn't happen again. Because if it does, we will be back to repeat the cycle.

Along with the photos of the tower jumpers. Like boards, they fell. Stiff and resigned, not flailing about.
And I also remember the phony "outpouring of sympathy" from the world. Which I later learned wasn't at our loss but was more a cover so they could gloat that the mighty America was brought low in private (at least among their ruling class). For example, look at France when we said, "it's time to remedy this" they said "no." None of them, no one in the world wanted us to fight back. That fact became very clear to me.
Remember the left's favorite refrain during the Bush years, "squandered the sympathy of the world after 9/11?" Oh, that makes me burn with rage.

The furious feeling that welled up with no real enemy to focus it on was unsettling. I was unsure that my homeland, the serene place that had always felt comfortable in, in the then suddenly distant past still existed, or had been my own invention.
Furious anger and confusion can be at once instructive and destructive.
I have not forgotten that lesson or feeling.

"The Path to 911" was outstanding because it laid out what a complacent fuck Slick and his whore Gorelick were on security matters and complicit as hell in what ultimately happened; which is why the red-nosed predator made a complete ass out of himself on FNS trying to extricate himself from the truth. Anybody that doesn't think Slick was part of the problem is too ignorant to take seriously.

On the plus side, Osama Bin Laden is a corpse.
On the minus side, that corpse is wrapped lovingly in a blanket after a Musim funeral in the ocean. Dragging his rotten bones around Manhattan would make commemorating 9/11 far more cathartic I think.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta made a striking admission today. In an interview with CBSÂ’ Norah OÂ’Donnell, Panetta threatened legal action against the Navy SEAL who wrote, under a pen name, about the raid that killed terrorist Osama bin Laden. Panetta said that any sanctions against the SEAL, who wrote No Easy Day under the name Mark Wood, would be intended to send a message that others entrusted with national security secrets that they should not divulge what they know.
O’Donnell then asked Panetta a direct question: What’s the difference between what the SEAL did and the leaks that have come from the administration to journalists and filmmakers? Panetta spun: “There’s a fundamental difference. The people that presented some of the details of the operations were authorized to do that by the president of the United States, who has that authority to do that, and inform the American people as to what happened,” Panetta said. “In this case, that was not the case. And that’s the difference.”
Among the information that Panetta now says the president authorized to be release, were the identities of the leaders of the SEAL team that killed bin Laden. Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers released that classified information to Hollywood producers who were working on the film Zero Dark Thirty, which was at that time intended for release just weeks before the 2012 presidential election. Vickers remains in his job. No one in the administration has come under any penalty for the numerous and damaging leaks of other operations, including President Obama’s “kill list,” US assistance to the rebellion in Syria, and the ongoing cyber war against Iran.
Now we know why: Despite the administrationÂ’s denials, President Obama himself authorized those leaks.

So Issa's had to delay the F&F hearing that was scheduled today until next Wednesday because the DOJ hasn't finished its report yet.
Link to The Hill: http://tiny.cc/kk7gkw
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has been forced to postpone a hearing on an inspector generalÂ’s investigation of "Operation Fast and Furious" until next week.
The Justice DepartmentÂ’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, told Issa in a recent letter that after 17 months of investigating the botched gun-tracking operation, the lengthy report would not be ready for public release until later this week, at the earliest.
That is complete and utter horseshit. If you can have the report done by the end of this week, you know what? That means you could have had it done by the deadline. Fuck you and your g-ddamned delay tactics. Fuck Eric Holder and his DOJ dipshits. May they roast in Hell.

lot of people hate obama, surely he knows that and he hugged obama all the same.
Here's the thing: when a business owner hosts a politician with whom I disagree, I don't care. I really don't. When that business proudly promotes its support of said candidate I get a little itchy but hey, it's a free country. I'll still stop there when I need to, though I'd probably stop going there unless I'm in a hurry if there's somewhere else nearby that sells what I'm looking for.
But when someone who claims to be a small business owner actually gives the traitorous Preezy a bear hug -- literally embraces him, and figuratively his policies -- then I say fuck him. Philanthropist or not; charitable or not. If he's too stupid to realize that Obama would love to see him and all other businesses ground to dust under the bootheel of government taxation, regulation and unionization, then he doesn't deserve my business. I won't subsidize stupid.

I think Obama could take [Paul Ryan in a fight],” Van Duzer said,
laughing. “Obama looked pretty fast and pretty quick on his feet.”
Everytime a liberal tries to make Obama into a athletic, tough guy it just confirms that they are either in denial or delusional. Probably both. They never acknowledge that he was a bench warmer and an uncoordianted goof who can't break 90 on a bowling lane and throws like a girl. The juxtaposed picture of Obama in his mom jeans and girl helmet riding a bike and Bush in his flightsuit must make their heads explode.

Maybe because the sight of people jumping to their deaths from the 86th floor of the WTC is forever embedded in my memory.
Those moments stay with you for a lifetime. A lifetime that was cut short for so many that day.

Then you're a fucking idiot who deserves what you get. If one of my brothers moved in with me because he'd quit a job because he "didn't want to be out there," I'd have let him stay for 3 months, tops, and then he'd be out on his ear.
You quit a job that paid your bills so you could mooch of your family? You slime. You fucking ungrateful bastard.

"A Democratic poll out of Minnesota has Rep. Bachmann up only 2 points over her challenger Jim Graves. I find it hard to believe"
Bachmann is my Rep. too. She won last time by 12%. Redistricting leaves her 6th District with 60,000 more Republican votes having surrendered 40,000 Dhimmis to the 4th Betty McCollum's.
Not gerrymandering, just the effect of growth to adjacent districts.

This proves:

2. White Hous speechwriters are ignoramuses who don't know the meaning, either, OR are deliberately twisting the knife in wounds. Take your choice.

I've been in combat (Vietnam), but NOTHING in my experiences on the battle field come close to the all-consuming, WHITE HOT RAGE this wife's/mother's/daughter's/sister's/ friend's last message to her loved ones re-generated.......
When my family emigrated from England we lived in NYC for close to 10 years.. I've since moved to Chicago, but every time I returned to NYC, I was still startled by the 'gap' in Lower Manhattan's skyline......and the WHITE HOT RAGE would be re-ignited
About that young woman's video posted at Legal Insurrection? Where I previously said "I shouldn't have played it?" Truth to tell, I couldn't live with myself if I hadn't.............It's called verifying one's priorities in life.

I saw his abandoned cart covered in ashes when the TV cameras passed my school later that week. I never saw a Tom or Thomas or a coffee vendor in the lists of the dead, so I assume he evacuated safely. Our school spent the rest of the year in exile, and when we finally returned there was no cart and no Tommy, but Mr Vang or Mr Tran (I can't remember which) was right across the street with more or less the same crappy coffee. He never seemed bothered by how fast us kids grew up, or at least he never blamed himself.
For me, Tommy and the towers both stood for exactly seven days.
I often wonder how he's doing.
