Palin Derangement Syndrome On Sunday's Talk Shows The press still shows that it is out of touch with the American people. As expected, the Sunday talk show circuit the discussion centered around Governor Palin's surprising resignation on Friday. But rather the talk center around whether it was a good or bad move for her political career, it was more of the usual Palin Derangement Syndrome. Take example ABC New's "This Democratic Party Week With the Guy Who has morning Conference Calls with Democratic Party Strategists, George Stephanopoulos" When the discussion got to the Palin resignation both the Democratic strategist/host Stephanopoulos...

A couple of years ago, I conditioned myself to bless George Bush every time I saw him on TV. I did this because I really felt hatred for him, which is not something I wanted to feel. So I focused on the fact that his time in office would be the tipping point for many to wake up and swing the other way. I’m comfortable that our ‘08 election proved to have that result. And my exercise of sending love to Bush’s image on TV was fairly positive to my overall well being in many ways. So, when Sarah Palin...

Twelve alleged Muslim radicals who were mostly arrested in Serbia's southern region of Sandzak have been jailed for plotting attacks on an imam and others. Their alleged leader, Senad Ramovic, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for terrorist offenses and illegal possession of arms and explosives.

Tissues in axolotl amputees regenerate themselves by “memory” Given a chance to regrow a limb, salamanders don’t change a thing. Since the 18th century, scientists have puzzled over how salamanders regenerate amputated limbs and have looked for clues to regrow human limbs. Researchers thought they knew part of the answer: Cells at the wound site would lose their identities as they turned back their developmental clocks to become pluripotent stem cells — capable of developing into many cell types in the body — and then recreate the lost limb. But a new study published July 2 in Nature and led...

Israel, Fighter Jets, Submarines, Satellites and Iran By Joel Leyden Israel News Agency Jerusalem, Israel ---- July 5, 2009 ...... As Israel receives explicit consent from Saudi Arabia to use their airspace to two defend both nations from a nuclear Iran, Israel maintains several other options to defend herself from an Iran nuclear threat. The Sunday Times of London reported today that Israel Mossad director Meir Dagan has held secret talks with Saudi officials to discuss the possibility of using Saudi Arabia airspace for a air strike to take out Iran's nuclear weapon manufacturing facilities. "The Saudis have tacitly agreed...

Eight days before the election, I spent 20 minutes alone with Sarah Palin on her campaign bus between rallies in Leesburg, Va., and Fredericksburg, George Washington's childhood home. Our encounter brought to mind a crusty Texas editor's description of politicians who didn't know what they didn't know: Delusions of adequacy. By then, John McCain's handlers were so spooked by the disastrous Katie Couric interview they'd hermetically sealed his running mate from media interrogators. But Tucker Eskew, the savvy Republican operative running her road show, graciously offered some "face time" - if our conversation was off the record. Reluctantly, I took...

As Gov. Sarah Palin blasted the media Saturday in a tough Facebook post, her attorney delivered a strong warning to news outlets that they should not report any stories that allege the Alaska governor is leaving office because she is under any kind of federal investigation. CNN has not reported these allegations were in any way connected to the governor's decision to leave office early. "To the extent several websites, most notably liberal Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore, are now claiming as 'fact' that Governor Palin resigned because she is 'under federal investigation' for embezzlement or other criminal wrongdoing, we will...

After losing tens of thousands of jobs since 2007 in construction, manufacturing, retail and other industries, with more losses expected, Los Angeles County could be years from recovering, economists say. Other California communities will recover faster from the deep national recession, but Los Angeles County won't be back at its 2007 employment level until after 2014, according to Massachusetts-based economic forecasting firm IHS Global Insight's "Recession Rebound" report. ... Nationally, IHS Global Insight says most states are not expected to recover their pre-recession employment levels until 2011-12, with California expected to regain its lost jobs by 2013. Bakersfield will be...

Have you ever wondered what the last change to the U.S. Constitution was, before the delegates at Philadelphia signed it? It was actually pretty momentous. The Constitution provides that in the lower house of Congress “the Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative.” The last change was from “one for every forty Thousand” to “one for every thirty Thousand.” Who made it? And why? Nathaniel Gorham of Massachusetts explained that “if it was not too late he could wish [this change], for the purpose of lessening objections...

Vice President Joseph Biden told ABC's George Stephanopoulos in an interview taped in Iraq on Saturday for "This Week" that the United States does not intend to slow its withdrawal plan in Iraq even if violence spikes after U.S. troops leave. Asked what happens "if the violence flares up again," the vice president replied, Well, that's going to be a tragic outcome for the Iraqi people. We made a commitment." Stephanopoulos then asked, "are we going to put our lives on the line again," if violence flares back up in Iraq, and Biden flatly said "no."

With all the wailing about Bush supposedly doing things his own way and not by the rule of law I wonder if those same people will have a problem with this: With the clock running out on a new US-Russian arms treaty before the previous Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, expires on December 5, a senior White House official said Sunday said that the difficulty of the task might mean temporarily bypassing the Senate’s constitutional role in ratifying treaties by enforcing certain aspects of a new deal on an executive levels and a “provisional basis” until the Senate ratifies...

Saudi Arabia would turn the other cheek and allow Israel to use its airspace to attack Iran, London’s Sunday Times reports. According to the report, Mossad chief Meir Dagan has told Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that Syria has hinted to the move. “The Saudis have tacitly agreed to the Israel air force flying through their airspace on a mission which is supposed to be in the common interests of both Israel and Saudi Arabia,” a diplomatic source stated.

If you've seen The Proposal, then you already know there's a nude scene between its two stars, Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. If you haven't seen it yet, Sandra Bullock thinks you're going to love it. She says she wasn't nervous about being nude on camera because she believes all eyes will be on Reynolds. He bulked up for his role as Deadpool in the Wolverine origin film, and it's been a not-so-well-kept secret since his EW cover shoot photos came out, that he has a pretty bangin' body. The Proposal may be a comedy, but it's clear that Bullock...

The Poison of Arab Muslim Immigration in EuropeIt's the Arabism's racism and Islamic hatred, by Arab-Muslim immigration into Europe, like in Spain, France, etc. that boost the venemous anti-Jewish hatred accompanied by the diabolic Palestinianism DENIAL of Jewish history in their original homeland as opposed to the Arab immigrants that have adopted the name Palestinians since the 1960s.
