Do you hear that music? Sure sounds beautiful. As the Left becomes more disenchanted with Zero, folks inside the Zero White House are leaking what's going on to leftie blogs. Here is a compilation of those leaks that is appearing all over the liberal-left blogosphere. Disturbing and mesmerizing whispering that the Oval Office is the scene of stormy and romantic melodrama between POTUS and his most senior and trusted advisers. Whispering that POTUS is sleeping poorly and is much aggrieved at slights, shortfalls, interruptions. Whispering that POTUS is vulnerable to jet lag. That POTUS has returned to chain-smoking. That POTUS...

The striking similarities in the title of the group to the name of our wonderful FR here. Will the militant militias of the daily-kos and others use it against us? Do you feel that coming?

Hi, I'm the public health insurance option. People have been saying all sorts of untrue things about me lately, so I decided it was time to stand up and set the record straight. First off: the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I'm happy and healthy. And I'm proud to play a starring role in four of the five health reform bills currently on the table. Second: I have a lot of friends. President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi support me—as do 77% of the American people.1 In fact, I'm feeling pretty popular. But there is one...

US President Barack Obama denied that "paranoid" objections from Russia influenced his decision to abandon plans by the former Bush administration to site a missile defence system in Eastern Europe. "Russia had always been paranoid about this, but George [W] Bush was right, this wasn't a threat to them," Mr Obama said in an interview on CBS show Face the Nation, days before he is set to meet Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the United Nations. "This program will not be a threat to them. So my task here was not to negotiate with the Russians," Mr Obama said, responding...

Who’s beefing with Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh this week? Hip-hop icon Jay-Z. In his newest song from his upcoming album, leaked today, “Off That” includes a line directed at the Fox News host and radio star. Here’s what Jay-Z says near the beginning of the second verse of “Off That“: This ain’t black vs. white, my n—a, we off that. Please tell Bill O’Reilly to fall back. Tell Rush Limbaugh to get off my balls. It’s 2010, not 1864. We come so far…How’s that for a mix? Got a black president, got green presidents.

The responding officers — eight teenage boys and girls, the youngest 14 — face tripwire, a thin cloud of poisonous gas and loud shots — BAM! BAM! — fired from behind a flimsy wall. They move quickly, pellet guns drawn and masks affixed.

G20 agrees to global economy under the IMF (International Monetary Fund) supervision. Our President and Treasury Secretary have given away our control over our own economical decisions. We were an independent nation, without need to give away any of our sovereignty. Dick Morris appeared on Greta Van Susteran and talked about the new Global Economy established by G20, and Obama's role. See Morris video at this link: http://www.foxnews.com/ontherecord/

Some are describing the insight of liberty purists as being paranoid. Is it? Gun owners are not in love with their precious guns, we are in love with our precious rights. Gun owners and non-gun owners have much more in common than media would have you believe. We all want to live in freedom. Some of us can see the clouds forming, others cannot. Do you believe that once this scandal is over, more Americans will have the same vision as liberty purists have? Will they be made paranoid, or will they have vision? It's easy to see how the...

Gaddafi, addressing a meeting on ways to expand cooperation between the United Nations and African Union, urged the Court to stop its proceedings against Bashir: "Why do we have to hold President Bashir or the Sudanese government responsible when the Darfur problem was caused by outside parties, and Tel Aviv [Israel], for example, is behind the Darfur crisis?"

Spies. They're "probably" in the room, she says ominously. Listening. Conspiring. Taking it all down. Cynthia McKinney thinks we're being watched, and she says so, leaning into the mike. The crowd of several hundred in this Atlanta public library auditorium -- graying Black Panthers gathered for a reunion, a pamphleteering Revolutionary Communist Party guy, Pan-African liberationists -- mostly nods in agreement. ........ She believes there are "credible reports" that the U.S. military dumped 5,000 prisoners -- each with "a single bullet wound to the head" -- in Louisiana swamps using Hurricane Katrina as cover. She believes that Jeb Bush --...

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said he will not leave Georgia because he fears Russia would prevent him from returning home, in an interview with a German newspaper. ''If I leave Georgia then the Russians will close our airspace and prevent me from returning home,'' Saakashvili was quoted as saying by the German daily Bild. For this reason the Georgian leader said he would not attend an emergency European Union summit in Brussels on Monday called to discuss the crisis in the Caucasus, according to the newspaper.

Over the last several hours I have responded to several treads with no response. I have even sent a response to myself. No response. Am I being paranoid or is there a problem? Mayhap I have been banned without being informed? Help! Yes, my computer is plugged in. Yes, I’m connected.
