REPORT: US could destroy Iran military in 3 weeks…
=======================================
Former Israeli security chief slams handling of Iran.
Israel’s former security chief is slamming the country’s prime minister and defense minister for their handling of Iran, saying neither one inspires confidence.
Seems like we’ve already located the anti-Christ, and there’s two of them. Hahaha.
@DB
“suiko school of “the sky is falling” issues like muffins.”
ahahaha. Talk about broken record! Also bringing something that never happened up again for the 3rd time. This is hilarious.
Bin laden is dead general motors is alive, the dow was at 6000, now its at 13,000, equal pay for women, the economy is turning around, repeal dont ask dont tell, passed healthcare bill (like it or not) and 4,000,000 jobs created. This president has done more in 4 years, than most presidents do in 8. Right wingers better come up with somthing better than name calling, or your gonna be looking at obama for 4 more years!
“Israeli general: ‘Rational’ Iranian leaders not pushing nuclear bomb.”

Did you know that dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish?

Anybody can type those letters and hit the submit button. That’s the magic of the internet. It doesn’t become true just because it is a submitted TVBN comment. Where are all my capitalist friends? Where’s the vermin Ratboy, the man who consistently brags about simultaneously launching a thousand ongoing capitalist projects but yet still finds the time to comment at regular two minute intervals 365 days of the year? Where’s the Kirk Lazarus character from Tropic Thunder?
TO THOSE WHO SAY FOX IS BIASED !
Yeah, Fox is so biased to the right that it has libs Shep Smith, Greta and Geraldo hosting programs. It has Juan Williams, Mara Liasson, Bob Beckel, Kirsten Powers, Judi Muller, Lamont Hill, Tamara Holder, and many other libs on as “regulars”.
Yeah, that’s it: biased to the right.
Whereas CNN has conservatives such as……………….
(crickets)
Hey, I heard a good joke…… MSNBC….. ha, ha, ha, good one…

@Hillbilly
so why is she set to serve 20 years in jail?
Where is Al? Where is NOW?
—————–
Good questions. I can’t really comment on why she is getting 20 years. The only info i know is from the article. Not enough to go on based on the article. Al & NOW both should be checking into this. Heck all who reported on Trayvon/Zimmerman should be checking into it. Hopefully she gets her retrial.
Erin Burnett barely scratched in the demo at 7pm. She went from a powerhouse to an outhouse.
Sorry couldn’t resist.
Shep’s numbers have been sliding lately. Folks must be __________ put your Fan Excuse Bingo in the blank.

EVERYBODY IS DOWN!! Matthews gets almost the same numbers as Schultz!! Not a good sign for Shultz.

Fridays & Mondays have been lower lately. I have no idea why. I blame GW & Applestinx.
SEARCY, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas woman who cashed a $1 million lottery ticket may have to give up the winnings to a woman who threw away the ticket after she bought it, according to a judge’s ruling Tuesday.
Interesting case. She threw it in the trash, now wants it back. Read more here.

(Reuters) – Wal-Mart Stores Inc agreed to pay $4.8 million in back wages and damages to thousands of employees for unpaid overtime after a probe by the U.S. Department of Labor found that the retailer had violated a federal law governing overtime pay.
Twitter is breaking news.
The first to tweet was the Afghanistan news site TOLOnews which reported: “United States President Barack Obama has arrived in Kabul to meet Afghan President Hamid Karzai.”
A political reporter for BuzzFeed, a website that combines original reporting with trend spotting on the internet, picked up the TOLOnews report, tweeted it and noted that no other U.S. media was reporting it. Shortly, the New York Post placed the TOLOnews report on its website.

SP With Bret Baier didn’t have no coverage. It musta been a fire cracker instead of a grenade.
The Occupy movement targeted May Day as the day “the people of the planet will take to the streets.” Crowds formed in many major cities, joining protesters worldwide on International Workers Day to demand economic equality. But the day remained mostly peaceful. Promised stoppages of mass transportation and commerce by the Occupy movement largely fizzled across the country.
For some pictures & stories of folks being ornery go here.
But does she have a birth certificate?
Since kindergarten, 17-year-old high-school senior Ciara Cetraro hasn’t missed a day of school. That’s more than 2,000 days of showing up for every day of school. And perhaps most impressive of all: She did it living in Hawaii, which is known for its “epidemic” of chronic absenteeism.
Good Morning Everyone
@Hillbilly
Shep’s numbers have been sliding lately. Folks must be
Sheps numbers have dropped since the first day of the Martin-Zimmerman story, Shep from day one Shep started the Zimmerman is guilty stuff and with his lawyer buddies on the show it’s not a good show to watch anymore.
No one wants to sit around with 2 lawyers yacking. I think it’s time John Roberts took over.
Speaking of John Roberts who used to be on CNN, we all should have known something about CNN when they allowed people like Roberts and Ed Henry & others to skip out. That, to me, shows CNN at some point made a decsion to either give up or move left. Roberts and Henry both are left leaning, but they never leaned to far left.
Unless CNN wakes up, they will never regain their stature.
The Media has Failed
*Blogger offers $10,000 bounty for Obama college transcripts
The owner of a website that promised on Tuesday to pay $10,000 to anyone who can provide an authentic copy of President Barack Obama’s course transcripts from his days at Occidental College, Harvard University or Columbia University.
Although its one-page website is presented anonymously, conservative blogger Brooks Bayne is the blogger in question.
A group of 8 people are coordinating the effort to make Obama’s college transcripts public
“We are doing this because we are tired of the media not doing their job,” he said. ”We are tired of the PR propaganda coming out of places like Media Matters, and we are tired of this administration stonewalling over things like Fast and Furious.”
The $10,000 reward, he explained, is “absolutely” real and will be paid to anyone who can provide any verifiable college transcripts belonging to Obama.
“No one has ever seen a real document from this part of his life, yet with other past Presidents of both parties we have seen the media report items such as their first dogs names to their grades and courses, why haven’t we seen his?”
Good morning all
