During the first 5 minutes: Your gold may be safe, your pension/IRA, not so much.

Where have you heard that before?

By no means exhaustive, but plenty of context, pretext, & cui bono.

Unless you're a history buff, some of these will be new to you.

For some, you'll remember the spin (to put it nicely) you were fed.

Nurse Nayirah was left off this list.

It's an election year; Paul Craig Roberts thinks someone might be getting ready to add to the list.

If the Wolf ever really does show up ...

A segment of Malcolm X's "The Ballot or the Bullet" speech, from 1964.

Ain't nothing changed but the year (and the numbers).

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against. I'm a human being first and foremost, and as such I am for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.

I was pleased with the retirement package received by bureaucraps Gaikathu & Muzaffar.

The courts in this country have ruled that the police have no legal obligation to protect anyone. Why do Law Enforcement Officials always tell civilians not to resist a criminal, while they tell their Officers to always resist and never surrender? Police administrators fear being sued by a civilian victim who gets hurt resisting. Furthermore, the police, like all government agencies derive their power by fostering dependence.

Two British tourists were barred from entering America after joking on Twitter that they were going to 'destroy America' and 'dig up Marilyn Monroe'.

Leigh Van Bryan, 26, was handcuffed and kept under armed guard in a cell with Mexican drug dealers for 12 hours after landing in Los Angeles with pal Emily Bunting.

The Department of Homeland Security flagged him as a potential threat when he posted an excited tweet to his pals about his forthcoming trip to Hollywood which read: 'Free this week, for quick gossip/prep before I go and destroy America?'

The pair's luggage was searched for spades (shovels).

While I don't know how Marilyn is doing, but I can say Congress has beaten them to the other objective, by a decade.

Ghost of America's future?

Argentines are some of the best dressed rioters ever.

Pay attention to the wide streets and buildings, this wasn't some 3rd world Crapistan, Argentina was a major power in the early 20th century ...

A little diversion from the usual ...

One of these pics reminds me of the boathouse scenes in Godfather 2 ... when Fredo goes fishin'.

Six Americans working for publicly funded U.S. organizations promoting democracy in Egypt have been barred from leaving the country, provoking angry demands in Washington that Cairo's new military rulers stop "endangering American lives".

Among those hit by travel bans - one of those targeted called it "de facto detention" - is a son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, as well as other foreign staffers of the International Republican Institute and National Democratic Institute, officials at the two organizations said on Thursday.

The United States said Egypt should reverse them: "We are urging the government of Egypt to lift these restrictions immediately and allow these folks to come home as soon as possible," [where they should have stayed] State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.


If 6 foreigners were in America promoting Sharia Law, we'd ...  at the first available chance.

Been reading a lot (for months) about these ex-dollar bilateral trade deals being formed.

Anyone watch enough tell-lie-vision to know if it's being put on broadcast?

The rail option, though costlier, would lessen the environmental impact, such as a loss of wetlands and agricultural productivity, compared to the pipeline, according to the State Department analysis. Greenhouse gas emissions, however, would be worse.

Guess who it's going to be "costlier" to. But, at least no insects and spotted owls will be inconvenienced.

I'm not convinced, but I am amused.
