   @Hillbilly
   Hold the fort on the Big Bang Theory, sometime later this year Scientist will put forth a new one, ya ready? Our Universe was formed in the middle of a Black Hole. It was originally put forth in Theory in 2009, but many in the community is about to say it’s true.

   They had trouble with the big bang because after all these Billions of years the expansion is still accelerating instead of slowing down.

   Here’s an old story on it from 2010, but at the lodge at Rough River where we eat sometimes I seen a story on this on a Science Channel. Interesting Theory to say the least.

   Some headlines

   *Lockerbie Bomber, Dead
   May Ten camels take a dump on his grave

   *David Axelrod Privately Calls Obama ‘Black Jesus’
   Maybe he can change water into “jobs”? Hehehe I like that one

   *Politico Covered Up Obama Campaign’s Alleged Attempt to Bribe Rev. Wright
   This is no big deal, I’d pay him to to SHUT up!

   Now a serious headline

   *Senator Lieberman White House Close to Using Force in Syria

   The Hill reports that Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), who chairs the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, believes that the White House has despaired of diplomatic options in Syria, and may be close to authorizing the use of force to protect opposition to the regime of Bashar al-Assad:

   @coffee Steve

   “Senator Lieberman White House Close to Using Force in Syria”

   This would not be good. The way US / Russia relations are would not work for the US.

   Russia will be providing Syria with their latest and greatest tec. The will be able to test what they have against what we have and not lose anything.

   @USN

   I agree it would not be good, Russia has ships, troops and Jets in the area as well, and Russia is serious about not using force there. While I hate what’s going on there (Syria) it’s not worth starting something which could escalate quickly into something major.

   Sadly though as History teaches us, common sense is not embedded into many Government’s thinking.

    53,000 Dead Voters Found in Florida

    I have learned that Florida election officials are set to announce that the secretary of state has discovered and purged up to 53,000 dead voters from the voter rolls in Florida.

    How could 53,000 dead voters have sat on the polls for so long? Simple. Because Florida hadn’t been using the best available data revealing which voters have died. Florida is now using the nationwide Social Security Death Index for determining which voters should be purged because they have died.

    China firm buys AMC to form world’s largest cinema chain

    (CNN) — China’s Dalian Wanda Group and AMC Entertainment announced Monday a $2.6 billion deal to take over the U.S. theater group, forming the world’s largest cinema chain, according to a new release on the deal.

    The move is the latest in a raft of deals between U.S. entertainment companies and Chinese firms, linking the world’s largest theater market with the world’s fastest growing.

    “This acquisition will help make Wanda a truly global cinema owner, with theatres and technology that enhance the movie-going experience for audiences in the world’s two largest movie markets,” said Wang Jianlin, chairman and president of Wanda.

    Following this forum for awhile I’ve not noticed the right leaning posters here are not blindly supporting rapacious capitalism,,as some left leaning posters like to insinuate,,nor do they foolishly believe that laissez-faire free market capitalism is without serious flaws…
    ================================

    I don’t know about that. Hillbilly and I spoke about cap gains a while ago, and he came to the same conclusion that I did after checking it out for himself. As far as I know, everybody else disagrees, with the financial analyst Ratboy and movie star Kirk Lazarus leading the charge, armed only with their usual silly platitudes and well-worn adages. Now, if you’re interested in having a customized fatwa issued against you for berating the economic system of Jesus Christ, then I’m sure that the arrangement could be made.

    *NATO activates missile shield despite Russian anger

    NATO leaders launched Sunday the first phase of a US-led missile shield for Europe, risking the wrath of Russia which has threatened to deploy rockets to EU borders in response.

    A NATO official told AFP that US President Barack Obama and his allies “just decided” at a Chicago summit to put a US warship armed with interceptors in the Mediterranean and a Turkey-based radar system under NATO command in a German base.

    The alliance insists the shield is not aimed at Russia and aims to knock out missiles that could be launched by enemies such as Iran, but Moscow fears that the system will also serve to neutralize its nuclear deterrent.

    @Ratboy and Coffee Steve

    Cancelling leave would not stop a thing. Now involuntary extensions are a different story. Which reminds me of two different sea stories.

    Story one is about when I was a DI (Drill Instructor) normal tour is 3 years. That is because it really burns you out. I had 2 involuntary extensions, where I ended up do it for almost 5 years.

    Story two involves the better half. She put in for retirement, this was during the Clinton days. He was on the kick to prove he can put women on any ship. She was already the first female to be station on a Nuke Carrier in a department with 500 males that had never worked with females. When her retirement request hit DC and they saw she was the most senior nuke female in the navy. They tried to extend her and send her to a nuke sub as Chief of the boat (COB). Since she did not have any green card time left (signed contract for enlistment) they had no way to hold her since we were not at war at the time. Her words were “Bite Me”.

    Actual AP Headline: ‘Is GOP Trying to Sabotage Economy to Hurt Obama?’

    With less than six months to go before Election Day, the Obama-loving media’s advocacy has passed shameful and is now approaching downright unimaginable.

    Christie Bashes Obama For ‘Posing And Preening’

    LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told Kentucky Republicans on Saturday that President Barack Obama was “posing and preening” instead of working to resolve pressing issues facing the country.

    “He is the most ill-prepared person to assume the presidency in my lifetime,” Christie told some 600 Kentucky Republicans at a Lexington hotel. “This is a guy who literally is walking around in a dark room trying to find the light switch of leadership.”

    Christie was in Kentucky to deliver a pep talk to state GOP leaders. The state’s presidential primary is Tuesday, though it will have no significant impact. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

    In his remarks, Christie focused entirely on the general election, drawing a standing ovation for his biting remarks about Obama.

    “He has sat in the Oval Office and cared more about posing and preening and making partisan politics the rule of the day in Washington D.C. than he’s cared about progress,” the New Jersey Republican, now in his third year in office, said of Obama
