Israel is holding Egyptian prisoners? We thought they were at peace. "Israel's cabinet has approved the release of 25 Egyptian prisoners in exchange for a man with dual US-Israeli nationality who has been held in Egypt on espionage suspicions since June. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's special security cabinet approved the swap on Tuesday afternoon. Egyptian state television previously said the exchange would be carried out on Thursday. Ilan Grapel was arrested in Cairo on June 12 and has been held without charge since. Grapel, 27, was suspected by Egyptian officials of spying for Israel during the height of Egypt's uprising that ended Hosni Mubarak's presidency earlier this year."

House Republicans and Democrats on Tuesday managed to enjoy a rare moment of bipartisanship, but on a bill far less controversial that what usually gets them fighting — one that calls for a commemorative coin marking the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

The numbers are on her side:
Wow, this is going to be good: Occupy Wall Street is now officially an issue in what may be the highest-profile and most polarizing Senate race in the country. National Republicans are now attacking Elizabeth Warren for embracing the protests, seeking to make a liability out of the fact that Warren, a longtime critic of Wall Street excess, has now aligned herself with the movement's intellectual underpinnings. What this means: The conservative effort to turn blue collar whites and independents against the protesters and their broader populist message — exploiting a traditional cultural fault line in our politics — will now unfold in the context of a high profile political campaign.
Warren was asked by the Daily Beast for a comment on the protests. She said: "I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do. I support what they do."
Now the NRSC has opened fire on Warren for the comments, blasting out an email containing links to stories about protesters in Massachusetts battling with cops. Said NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh: "Warren's decision to not only embrace, but take credit for this movement is notable considering the Boston Police Department was recently forced to arrest at least 141 of her Occupy acolytes in Boston the other day after they threatened to tie up traffic downtown and refused to abide by their protest permit limits."
I can't wait for this woman to be a Senator.

Michele Bachmann is miffed that the Iraqis don't love us after over a million of them have died, a few million more were displaced, a civil war was sparked and the ever-living fuck was bombed out of their country over non-existent WMDs. "The Republicans' incoherence on foreign policy was on full display during yesterday's political talk shows. Trying to attack President Obama on Libya, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), on Fox News Sunday, actually ended up admitting that Muammar Qaddafi would still be in power today if she was president. ... On Face The Nation, Bachmann took a swing at Obama for announcing that the U.S. would withdrawal all troops from Iraq by the end of the year, as scheduled. But in this case, she also had some words for the Iraqis for wanting the Americans to leave: BACHMANN: And here the United States has expended forty-four hundred lives, over eight hundred billion dollars in toil and blood and treasure. And while we're on the way out, we're being kicked out by the very people that we liberated. ... And to think that we are so disrespected and they -- they have so little fear of the United States that there would be nothing that we would gain from this.""

Is this for creating jobs? For creating free trade? Nah...don't think so. It's more of a free trade tax haven creating scenario.
