This is South Carolina Governor NIkki Haley speaking at a Tea Party rally that was supposed to feature Donald Trump. Can we stop pretending this is a real political movement now?
At least 34 dead in Syria after authorities fire indiscriminately on pro-democracy protesters "Anti-government demonstrations broke out Friday in Syria after weekly Muslim prayers, with activists reporting at least 34 deaths amid clashes between security forces and protesters. ... The Syria Human Rights Information Link told CNN that at least 11 people died in the western industrial city of Homs when security forces fired at crowds. ... For two months, Syria has been torn by street protests against political repression and a fierce security crackdown against demonstrators. The government's tough and violent actions toward marchers and its thousands of mass arrests have drawn widespread criticism."
Goldman Sachs management expects to be served subpoenas soon from U.S. prosecutors looking for more data concerning the firm's mortgage unit, the WSJ reports, citing people familiar with the matter.And so it begins. The prosecutors will find someone to lean on, hard, and flip them. It should be pretty easy to do because, given that the prosecutors have this example to spread around to show the perils of trying to gut it out in court.
But I'll wait to break out the confetti until I see some of those big banksters being perp-walked on their way to a Federal rest home.
"NO OFFENSE TO OUR EVANGELICAL BASE, BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA' LET SOME TWO-BIT PREACHER, OR EVEN THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF, STEAL OUR THUNDER WHEN IT COMES TO INFLICTING PAIN AND MISERY."

TPM:
For years the top generals in the IDF have agreed that Israel can handle withdrawing to the 1967 borders in military terms. But PM Netanyahu says that's impossible because those borders are not defensible. It's an amazing level of denial, intransigence and self-destructiveness on display today -- something the pre-statehood and early statehood Zionist leadership was seldom so vulnerable to.
I agree with Gadi Taub who said recently that while peace is the ideal the highest priority for both peoples right now is partition. Netanyahu's position makes that impossible. The 1967 lines are the only practical and politically conceivable basis for such a division -- with mutually agreed upon swaps of territory along those lines. Netanyahu's plan is simply to withdraw from areas of dense population within the West Bank. In fact, I think that overstates the case. I don't think Netanyahu has a plan beyond holding his coalition together and himself in the prime ministership. The rejectionists' 'plan' is simply to hold on for as long as possible and play for time.
The man is a fool at so many levels. But there's no denying that he speaks for a very large chunk of the Israeli electorate.
Fox stooge: "Do you have that fire in the belly [to run for president], do you have it?"
Sarah Palin: "I think my problem is that I do have the fire in my belly. I am so adamantly supportive of the good traditional things about America and our free enterprise system and I want to make sure that America is put back on the right track and we only do that by defeating Obama in 2012. I have that fire in my belly."
"That's kind of my problem is that it's such a roaring fire in my belly to preserve and restore all that's good about America that I struggle with that every single day."
It would seem to me that Palin's concern should be less about a fire roaring away in her belly and more about finding that brain she must surely have misplaced at some point in her illustrious life. But hey, she's a Fox News Analyst. No prerequisite for a brain at that gig.
