The FBI recovered a package that is said to have been mailed by James Eagan Holmes, after the shooting suspect told investigators to look for it at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. A senior law enforcement officer told NBC that the package contained writings about killing people, but could not go into more detail. Holmes had been in a doctoral program … [Read more...] about James Holmes, Alleged Slaughterer, High I.Q.

Mitt Romney Unfamiliar With Details of Colorado Shooting, Falsely Claims Shooter Got Weapons Illegally
I am amazed at the brazenness of the Romney campaign in criticizing Obama on foreign policy and just about everything else, yet they are prone to so many gaffes and have a problem with the facts. Romney had the nerve imply to Brian Williams, according to the transcript of his exclusive NBC interview, that he is unfamiliar with the details of the Colorado shooting that left 12 … [Read more...] about Mitt Romney Unfamiliar With Details of Colorado Shooting, Falsely Claims Shooter Got Weapons Illegally
Sloth-Brained Democrats Take On The Tax Issue
It would be wrong to call the guys and girls who set Democratic Party election themes "brain-dead." A more accurate description would "sloth-brained." They devise just the right policies, but a year or two (or more) after the same themes would have been far more effective. Like those generals who are always brilliantly fighting the last war. Consider taxes. A huge issue … [Read more...] about Sloth-Brained Democrats Take On The Tax Issue
Germans React to the Colorado Massacre (Multiple Newspapers)
Since yesterday, Worldmeets.US has posted articles from two more German newspapers about the Colorado attacks. 1) The NRA: America's ‘Deadliest’ Lobby (Die Tageszeitung, Germany) Is there any sense to the logic of the National Rifle Association, which asserts 'If private gun ownership were restricted, it would be more difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain guns; but … [Read more...] about Germans React to the Colorado Massacre (Multiple Newspapers)
Romney Campaign Adviser: President Obama Doesn’t Understand Depth of Anglo-Saxon Heritage
The UK Telegraph has an interesting conversation with two unnamed advisers to Mitt Romney, in which one explained President Obama's so-called coolness to Great Britain by saying he doesn't understand the Anglo-Saxon heritage like Romney does and that his father was from Africa. Um, newsflash to the Romney campaign, Kenya was colonized by the British. Of course, Mitt Romney … [Read more...] about Romney Campaign Adviser: President Obama Doesn’t Understand Depth of Anglo-Saxon Heritage
George Jefferson, African American Sit-com Star Dies, Age 74
Sherman Hemsley, known to many for his starring role on The Jeffersons has died at 74, and is remembered by many as the peevish, nervous, reactive funny man playing George Jefferson, a 'movin' on up' patriarch of a newly affluent black family who also, much like Ralph Cramden of The Honeymooners, was a sometimes schemer. In the sit-com, George owned a dry cleaning business, … [Read more...] about George Jefferson, African American Sit-com Star Dies, Age 74
Madonna: A Singing Agent of Russian Imperialism! (Rzeczpospolita, Russia)
What is behind the dates Madonna chooses for her concerts? Could she have an ulterior motive? In this lampooning of the Polish right - which is apparently hysterical over Madonna's impending arrival in the country for a series of performances - columnist Bartosz Weglarczyk of Poland's Rzeczpospolita offers a humorous history lesson while explaining what the 53-year-old music … [Read more...] about Madonna: A Singing Agent of Russian Imperialism!

Report: Romney Advisor Who Hit Obama On Leaks Was Involved In Scooter Libby Scandal
I'm a life long political junkie, a former Political Science major, a lover of political history -- but in all of my life I have never ever seen a campaign like this. With things such as this, if Mitt Romney loses his bid for the Oval Office registered Republicans might consider a class action lawsuit for political negligence: Mitt Romney's campaign might have chosen the … [Read more...] about Report: Romney Advisor Who Hit Obama On Leaks Was Involved In Scooter Libby Scandal
Gun Control is Dead For Now
What do conservative news baron Rupert Murdoch, The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and actor Jason Alexander have in common? They're among the majority of Americans who want tougher gun control --an issue that has resurfaced in the wake of the Aurora, Colo. movie theater massacre. But don't hold your breath. It ain't gonna happen. So expect … [Read more...] about Gun Control is Dead For Now
Empty Platitudes – Romney At The VFW Convention
The Romneybot spoke to the crowd at the VFW convention today. More empty platitudes and criticism of Obama. It reminds me of my favorite lines from the 1923 novel, by one of the best wordsmiths Aldous Huxley, Antic Hay, where the main character finds himself "floundering in a quagmire of hypocritical platitudes" - that's Romney's life story. Daniel Larison: It was mostly a … [Read more...] about Empty Platitudes – Romney At The VFW Convention

Chick Fil A Shows Its Cowardly Side
Up until now I have had no strong feelings one way or the other about Chick Fil A. It wasn't until fairly recently that there was one semi near me (about an hour away) and the one time I ate there I was not that impressed with the food. I disagreed with their stance on marriage equality but recognized that it came from sincere beliefs of the owners, and even though I felt … [Read more...] about Chick Fil A Shows Its Cowardly Side

The Aurora Tragedy: A Few Days Later
Like all Americans I was stunned by the unspeakable tragedy that occurred in that Aurora movie theater last week. Like most Americans I was horrified by the carnage that one man -- sane or insane -- inflicted on innocent people with legal and easily obtainable assault weapons and hundreds, perhaps thousands of rounds of ammunition. Like many Americans I was once again … [Read more...] about The Aurora Tragedy: A Few Days Later

Egyptian democracy: as good as it gets
The first freely elected President of Egypt Mohamed Morsi named its first democratic Prime Minister Hesham Kandil on Tuesday, bringing the distressed country to a point where its corrupt military tyranny might also see the start of end. It was an auspicious moment, coming during the week marking the 60th anniversary of a revolt that overthrew the monarchy of King Farouk. It … [Read more...] about Egyptian democracy: as good as it gets
NBC/WSJ Poll: Obama’s Numbers Up But Negative Campaigning Is Hurting Both Candidates
A new NBC/WSJ poll has a double message: (1) President Barack Obama's numbers are slightly up so now he's six points ahead of presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and, (2) negative campaigning is hurting both candidates. Obama scores his highest negatives ever in this poll -- and Mitt Romney sets record for any GOP Presidential nominee in this particular poll's … [Read more...] about NBC/WSJ Poll: Obama’s Numbers Up But Negative Campaigning Is Hurting Both Candidates

Mitt Romney Slams Obama at VFW Convention Saying He Has Given Some Nations “Trust Where it Was Not Earned”
Mitt Romney spoke at Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention Tuesday slamming President Obama saying he doesn't deserve a second term in office because his policies haven't fixed the economic problems and he has diminished American leadership. Wow, any more than George W. Bush? Romney said Obama has exposed the military "to cuts no-one can justify" and that his administration has … [Read more...] about Mitt Romney Slams Obama at VFW Convention Saying He Has Given Some Nations “Trust Where it Was Not Earned”
