"Meanwhile, massive bombing continues in Tripoli, including at Gaddafi's headquarters and in the port. Considering that this mission is supposedly about "protecting civilians" who are in the eastern part of the country, and establishing a "no-fly" zone to prevent harm to them, why is bombing needed in Tripoli? Was Gaddafi planning to bomb Tripoli so that the U.S. needs to establish a no-fly zone over that city? Do anti-aircraft guns in Tripoli reach as far as Benghazi? (Yes, these are rhetorical questions)."

"Shock and Awe in Libya"  History, hypocrisy.

"Marines Face Questions About Rescue of Officers in Libya"  Killing the village to save the village.

"The Stoner Arms Dealers"  "Sit-com writers, Ten-Hut!"

"Presidential Aide Valerie Jarrett Discloses Her Jewish Roots":

 "Speaking on behalf of the administration at the annual plenum of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Jarrett, who is African-American, told the story of the first Passover seder she attended as a child.

“Many, many years ago, my parents hosted a seder for a group of our Jewish friends, and it was here that my father first told me that my great-grandfather was Jewish. What a wonderful surprise for our friends, and for me! So Passover has always been a special holiday for me.”"

"Religion may become extinct in nine nations, study says" People will have to choose between religion and civilization.  It looks like we'll be seeing a sort of Mad Max world, with religion, and a few enclaves of human dignity, without.

"Undercover cop violated code of conduct" The upshot of the police agents provocateurs at the North American Leaders’ Summit in Quebec in 2007.  Not nearly enough punishment, but at least an official recognition of fascism.
