Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s response to the Hamas-Fatah deal in Cairo was both swift and predictable. “The Palestinian Authority must choose either peace with Israel or peace with Hamas. There is no possibility for peace with both,” he said, in a televised speech shortly after the Palestinian political rivals reached a reconciliation agreement under Egyptian sponsorship on April 27.

“Any time three Washington DC politicians get into a cab with the President of the United States and without an argument between them, the public treasury has just been robbed.” (A slight modification of a Phyllis Diller quote)

Banks and the human species are about is inseparable as bees and honey. There have always been bankers, hated and loved, and there have always been banks where we are lulled into the belief that when we deposit our money therein, it is safe. Although today the term “safe” does mean relatively safe, it wasn’t always that way and may not be again. 

“Joe Biden Steps into Debt Ceiling void!”

“Biden hosts budget talks as DEBT limit nears!”

“Biden’s DEBT talks open with parties split on NEW TAXES!”

These are just a few of the headlines floating around concerning raising the debt limit.

Welcome to Heaven, Osama. The Americans finally got you, I see. Now don’t get anxious. We’ll discuss your ruby palace, 72 virgins, and 80,000 servants after we’ve reviewed your life. I know, a martyr like you shouldn’t have to justify his past life, but let’s talk a bit. You went to Afghanistan to fight the Soviet infidels, and we’re grateful, but you don’t skate free with one or two good deeds. What did you do after that?

Even Pakistanis do not believe that their political and military leaders did not know bin Laden was living, as one columnist put it, “wrapped in the bosom of the Pakistani security establishment.”

Cyril Almeida, writing in the Pakistani newspaper, Dawn, a few days after the killing of bin Laden noted that, when the question is asked privately, “No one will say anything but, yes, they knew he was there.”

Pretend for a moment you are witnessing a fancy ball where all the women are wearing exquisite black dresses. Then in the middle of all these people your eye falls upon a single women wearing a bright yellow dress. She would stand out like a sore thumb, her yellow dress a glaring inconsistency among the black dressed women.

That is similar to the way my brain functions when I read, or hear people say things; inconsistencies stand up and scream at me for their attention. I call it my bullshit meter and the more inconsistent the statement, the higher my meter reads.

U.S. Ignores bin Laden Death Reports, Continues Search

WASHINGTON – Osama bin Laden continues to be the target of an upcoming search by U.S. Marines in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan though a Pakistani newspaper reported Tuesday that the suspected terrorist mastermind is dead. CNN quoted officials as saying Marines would move into the Tora Bora mountains of eastern Afghanistan to search for bin Laden. The U.S. bombing of the area had subsided, they said. Special Forces troops familiar with the area were to accompany the Marines, CNN said. The comments came as the Pakistan Observer newspaper reported that bin Laden died of a serious lung disease in the Tora Bora Mountains earlier this month.

The brutality of Libyan leader Moammar Ghaddafi, and his refusal to concede power, is costing Libya much more than innocent lives. The country is now also facing a possible loss of future independence and sovereignty. From its early days, the Libyan revolt seemed to take a difference course than those of other Arab countries. It represented a window of opportunity for the United States and its western allies to reposition themselves, slowly but surely, around a conflict that promised grueling and bloodier times ahead.

The four decade Progressive Palooka, acting as governor of Arkansas is on the threshold of implementing the first installment of Obama’s attack on American healthcare, known as Obamacare.

The mechanism for all practical purposes is in place and is known as “for episodes of high-quality care”, i.e. Medicaid. In typical bureaucratic doublespeak this can only be described as right out of “Atlas Shrugged” or “1984”. Does anyone really believe that Gov. Beebe created this entrance into full-blown Socialized medicine?
