An Islamist Spills the Beans.....................from Dan Friedman
[You should make it a priority to view the video referenced below. df]
Via Andrew Bostom
Dr. Wafa Sultan, a remarkably courageous and thoughtful Muslim freethinker, recently debated Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad. Dr. Sultan watched passively while the good Sheik expressed without equivocation his pious views—in full accord with classical, mainstream Islamic doctrine on jihad —and then politely added her own plain spoken commentary in response.
This less than 8-minute video segment, if viewed objectively and dispassionately, could do more to educate the American public on the theory animating the practice of “Islamic international relations,” without any further explanation required.
Scatalogic Finance 101.......................from Rico
William Banzai, with his typical genius, summarizes the world of finance this past week in two simple and easy-to-grasp graphics (so simple and easy even a Princeton PhD should 'get' it).
Forget the 'sleepover' at Camp David... they not only will NOT solve anything, but they won't do anything even remotely useful like roasting marshmallows, either.

Hey America, this is where your money goes, and goes, and goes, and goes....!...By Michael Haltman at TPC
How does the federal government spend your money?
Before your eyes glaze over and you click to a new page, this is a topic that on some level all Americans need to understand in a way that until recently citizens of the EU PIIGS really never did.
Consider that for every dollar you the American taxpayer sends into the federal government, it is currently spent in an amount per dollar as represented in the chart above.

Actually, it's Griffin who deserves to be attacked like that, and some folks besides myself aren't hesitant to do it.

Dershowitz For The Defense (of George Zimmerman)..................from Dan Friedman

New Evidence is Consistent with George Zimmerman’s Self Defense Claim
By Alan Dershowitz
By any other name...............from Rico
To badly paraphrase the immortal bard...FaceBook, by any other name..."
Day 1 of the FaceBook general public IPO was a disaster. The supporting syndicate had to step in with some HFT to save the day, but in the end FaceBook was a flop [ticker FB].
It is already being called FADEBOOK, and FAKEBOOK, and FACEBILK by the professional investing community (you know, the ones who lovingly refer to Mom & Pop retail investors as "muppets").
The hugely hyped FB IPO was no more than 'Muppet bait' but it seems the intended victims are starting to 'catch on' to the ruse, the Commercials have simply snatched the football away (a la' Lucy with Charlie Brown) too many times, and the 'muppets' refused to play today. This is a good thing, because they would have lost their...er, shirts.
