Man ole man, the lame stream media pandering to the idiots of this country are more dangerous than the lying, no-good corrupt politicians that are in the White House now!!
No he wasn't playing golf when this went down.
Should have watched, you obviously would have learned something.

World Trade Center Tribute: "Ball Of Fire" by Tommy James & The Shondells
Whenever I hear this song, it takes me back to that day, so I took the song and lyrics to "Ball Of Fire" and put in images of 9/11. I worked in downtown New York and on the morning of 9/11 I witnessed first hand the attack. Our office was on Fulton Street, 3 blocks from the World Trade Center, and we had a clear view of the towers. It was unbelievable to watch those planes crash into the buildings and horrifying to see people jumping to their death. But there are no words to describe the buildings as they collapsed and we ran for our lives. My wife dropped me off at the bus station, and went back to sleep, since she worked later. She was awakened by a phone call from our friend who asked her was I o.k.. She did not know what was happening and when our friend told her, she turned on the television, and saw New York after the towers had fallen. The initial word was that hundreds of thousands might be dead or injured. I could not contact her for over six hours since all communications were down. You can imagine how she must have felt. I still have nightmares about that day. I spent ten days in the hospital because of all the dust I inhaled and still suffer to this day. Although it was a horrible day, what I remember,too,(and have not seen since) was how incredibly kind and helpful people were to each other.It's how it was in the days that followed.
This is a personal tribute with no political intent.

Like I said they know the mission. That is it.
They don't know the political climate, other options available and considered. They wouldn't know the risks of involving the Pakistanis, the risks of not involving them.
There is a long standing tradition in the military. You are only told what you need to know to accomplish your mission, nothing more.
Once again, you claim to have done something else. This time spent many years in the military. I say you are full of s**t. I say you are a liar and a fraud.

From 1962 when the first SEAL teams were commissioned to present day, Navy SEALs have distinguished themselves as an individually reliable, collectively disciplined and highly skilled maritime force.

The following SEAL PST is designed to see if you have what it takes to enter SEAL training. To pass you must be able to complete the following regimen:

Swim 500-yards using breast and/or sidestroke in less than 12 minutes and 30 seconds
10-minute rest
Perform a minimum of 42 push-ups in 2 minutes
2-minute rest
Perform a minimum of 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes
2-minute rest
Perform a minimum of 6 pull-ups (no time limit)
10-minute rest
Run 1 ½ miles wearing TENNIS SHOES and SHORTS in under 11 minutes.*

* While at Recruit Training Center SEAL Candidates will transition to Boots and Long Pants for the Run portion of the PST. To remain qualified for the SEAL training Pipeline, the SEAL candidate must perform the 1 ½ mile run portion of the PST in Boots and Long Pants in 11:30 or less.

Once you have finished Boot Camp — if you make the cut — you will attend a two-week Apprenticeship Training Division School, with immediate assignment to BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL) training.

The Navy SEAL training program will stress you beyond your limits to make sure you're worthy to serve with the world's best fighting force. Be prepared, stay focused, make mature choices, and understand what you are volunteering for. Check out the complete Navy SEAL Training program to see if you have what it takes to be a SEAL.

A great Obama supporter.
President Obama still has the political support of music legend Bruce Springsteen, but The Boss "won't be performing for him" in this year's campaign.

"I'm not a professional campaigner and every four years I don't think that I'm going to go and pick a guy and go after him," Springsteen told reporters in Paris, where he is promoting a forthcoming album.

"I prefer to stay on the sidelines," Springsteen added. "I genuinely believe an artist (is) supposed to be the canary in the coal mine, and you're better off with a certain distance from the seat of power."

Springsteen, who did gigs for Obama in 2008 and for Democratic nominee John Kerry in 2004, said he got involved in politics "sort of by accident."

Springsteen said he thought Obama had a mixed record.

"There's a lot of things" that were positive, he said.

"He kept GM alive, which was incredibly important to Detroit and Michigan, and he got the health care law passed, although I wish there had been a public option and didn't leave the citizens victims of the insurance companies, he killed Osama bin Laden, which was extremely important. He brought some sanity to the top level of government."

However, Obama was "more friendly to corporations than I thought he would be,(and) there's not as many middle-class or working-class voices heard in the administration as I thought there would be," said Springsteen.

"I would like to have seen more activism in job creation sooner than it came, I would like to have seen people helped out, seen some of these (home) foreclosures stopped somehow."

Springsteen said: "I still support the president, but there are plenty of things that I thought took a long time and would have been closed by now. But on the other hand, we're out of Iraq and hopefully we'll be out of Afghanistan soon."

Arianna Huffington: Obama's bin Laden Ad 'Despicable'
Monday, 30 Apr 2012 01:03 PM

By Newsmax Wires

: Arianna Huffington, founder of the liberal leaning news site The Huffington Post, has criticized the Obama campaign for an ad suggesting that Mitt Romney wouldn’t have killed terrorism kingpin Osama bin Laden, calling the move "despicable."

"I don't think there should be an ad about that," Huffington told "CBS This Morning" Monday. "I think it's one thing to celebrate the fact that they did such a great job [with television specials]. All that is perfectly legitimate. But to turn it into a campaign ad is one of the most despicable things you can do."

Arianna Huffington: Obama's bin Laden Ad 'Despicable'
Monday, 30 Apr 2012 01:03 PM

By Newsmax Wires

Huffington equated the ad with a Hillary Clinton spot from 2008 that asked,“Who do you want answering the phone” in the White House, when it’s 3 a.m. and a problem has arisen. That was a reference to her opponent Obama’s inexperience.“It’s the same thing ...'You're not ready to be commander-in-chief,'” Huffington said.

Memo on coverage of assault on Pilot reporters

The following is from a memo sent by Editor Denis Finley to Virginian-Pilot news staff today regarding a recent attack on off-work Pilot reporters Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami at Church Street and Brambleton Avenue after a concert at the Attucks Theatre. The attack was the subject of a column by editorial writer Michelle Washington that was widely read online.

Staff,

Here is what happened with Dave and Marjon. They were victims of what police described as a simple assault and, initially, they did not want to be named in a story. If these were the circumstances with any other people in the community, we would not have done a story.

The truth is, we have no idea what motivated the attack. Was it a gang or a gathering? Did it just happen or was something planned? Was it racially motivated or random? We just don't know.

The Twitter comment about Trayvon Martin could have come from anywhere from anybody. Right now, it means nothing other than racial animosity continues to exist in our culture.

Many, including news organizations around the country, are assuming and making judgments based on information they do not have. That's a shame, it makes us look bad.

We did not cover up anything. We bend over backwards to treat ourselves the same way we would treat any other member of the community. In fact, we go overboard at times to make sure there is no perception that we have treated ourselves favorably because of our position.

Did we go too far here in holding to this standard? I don't know, I will always ask myself that question. But we made our decision based on the facts we had. That's all we can do. As journalists, we report facts, not assumptions.

We have done our due diligence with the story. We have checked the police report. I have read it. On its face, it would not merit a story. We have checked that neighborhood to see if there is an inordinate amount of crime there. There is not.

We will continue to monitor the investigation, just as we would with any story that has lingering questions. If the crime is reclassified, we will make a decision about further coverage then.

Thanks, Denis

Daily Horoscope for June 18

Scorpio

You're in a nicely emotional and loving mood today, and you'll be happiest if you can be with some of the special people in your life for at least part of the day. You don't have to do anything terribly special when you're together, either, because simply sharing a relaxing meal or watching television together will be enough. If you get talking, the conversation will turn to confidences and secrets.
