Don't Be Fooled by Bogus Progressive Spin on 'Wonderful' U.S. Economy
Look, we all want a strong economy, but the left is already spinning recent economic reports as if the Obama administration deserves credit for some magical market upturn. Actually, the economy still sucks. When we have economic growth and an expanding job market it will be in spite of this administration's best efforts to destroy the private sector.

Israel: "This is Not a Drill"................by Dan Friedman
Just last week, the joint “defense exercise” referred to below had been hyped as the biggest of its kind ever held between the U.S. and Israel. But now the plug has been pulled and speculation is rife this morning about who made the decision and why. Here’s my favorite: Netanyahu put the kibosh on the drill because he could not be certain Obama wouldn’t use it to gather intelligence on the Jewish state’s plan to strike Iran.

Israel, US agree to postpone missile defense exercise

A collection of the most dreadful puns - just remember they are British!
1. My wife was counting all the 1p’s and 2p’s out on the kitchen table when she suddenly got very angry and started shouting and crying for no reason. I thought to myself, “She’s going through the change.”
2. When I was in the pub I heard a couple of blokes saying that they wouldn’t feel safe on an aircraft if they knew the pilot was a woman. What a pair of sexist nutters.. I mean, it’s not as if she’d have to reverse the bloody thing!
3. Little Johnny is sitting in geography class when the teacher asks him, “Where is Pakistan?” He replies, “Outside playing with Paki-Dave”.
4. Local Police hunting the ‘knitting needle nutter’ who has stabbed six people in the backside in the last 48 hours, believe the attacker could be following a pattern.
5. Bought some ‘rocket salad’ yesterday but it went off before I could eat it!
6. A teddy bear is working on a building site. He goes for a tea break and when he returns he notices his pick has gone missing. The bear is angry and reports the theft to the foreman. The foreman grins at the bear and says “Oh, I forgot to tell you, today’s the day the teddy bears have their pick nicked.”
7. Murphy says to Paddy “What ya talkin to an envelope for?” “I’m sending a voicemail ya thick sod!”
8. Just got back from my mate’s funeral. He died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball. It was a perfect service.
9. 19 paddies go to the cinema, the ticket lady asks “Why so many of you?” Mick replies, “The film said 18 or over.”
10. Bindair and his family have moved in next door.. He is from India and has travelled the world, swum with sharks, wrestled bears and climbed the highest mountain.
It came as no surprise to learn his full name was Bindair Dundat.

The New Dialectic: Will Bibi Fall on Obama's Sword?................by Dan Friedman
As I’ve often repeated, the only chance Obama will react with force against Iran’s nuke program is if he’s convinced Israel will attack Iran without him. The stakes in this shadowy game couldn’t be higher. For Obama, it’s his reelection and recreating America in his own image. For Netanyahu, it’s having his name become a synonym for Jewish timidity and an eponym for failing to use the means at his disposal to protect the Jewish people.
