Obama is a Leo & Putin is a Libra...Any Astrologers want to give their insights?

If Obama truly is a Leo he is a weak one.
Strong Leos don't need to lie or manipulate to get people to follow them.
They are natural leader types - meaning weak or strong, others will follow regardless. The strength of character shows in the manner by which they lead.

I must have known only weak Leos, because it seems that sadly this is the case. The Leo is either a narcissistic showman with lots of talk and little substance (Obama) or is a coward with private delusions of grandeur that are exerted only upon those he thinks he can control. Most effective use of Leo seems to be Leo rising, Leo Saturn or Leo moon + ascendant.

First off, Zappos upgraded the shipping to overnight for free, what a nice gesture for a return customer. I'll be sure to look on their web site first for my next shoe purchase. Secondly, The Ariat Heritage Horseman boot is a wonderful boot, fits true to size, super color combination, and is basically a high quality casual boot with just the right heel height and toe roundness. It isn't too "cowboy'ie" if you know what I mean. You won't go wrong with these Ariats.

90 percent of Super Bowl ads already sold
More than 90 percent of the ads for this season's Super Bowl are already sold out USA Today reports, despite the fact that Super Bowl XLVII is more than five months away.
A 30-second spot will fetch a record $3.7 million to $3.8 million this year. The hefty price tag isn't stopping repeat advertisers, including Anheuser-Busch, PepsiCo, Frito-Lay and Hyundai. A few companies gave the paper a sneak peak of what to expect in 2012. For example, Coca-Cola has nixed the polar bears in favor of "a new approach," said spokesperson Lauren Thompson.
Ads created by New York City agencies usually make a strong showing during the Super Bowl. Some of our favorites from last year:
BBDO: M&M's Ms. Brown
Wiedner & Kennedy NY: Color Changes Everything for Target
Grey: Baby Game Day for E*Trade
Super Bowl XLVII airs on CBS Feb. 3, 2013.

Besides being a music playback software, 6.95 MP3 Player can also become a handy tool you'd like to keep and use in your home, because it has some very nice wake, shutdown, sleep and reboot options. As a matter of fact, 6.95 MP3 Player integrates itself so well in the Windows shell, that it can operate functions like sleep or wake, even hibernate. Thus, you can transform the usual MP3 player in some sort of clock which will play a playlist containing tracks of your own choice instead of the common alarm.

It plays songs.
It doesn't work as promised. Having purchased a registration key it is only reasonable to expect it to work. It won't recognize the registration and thus the automatic scheduled play is not automatic. More concerning, the email addresses for alleged support and feedback are bounced back. DO NOT BUY!!!!

SALT LAKE CITY — The state Division of Wildlife Resources is hosting a free field trip to view peregrine falcons in downtown Salt Lake City on Thursday, June 20.
The field trip will happen on Temple Square at 6 p.m. Bob Walters, Watchable Wildlife coordinator for the DWR, will lead the trip. To participate, meet just east of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Temple Square.
Walters said Salt Lake City's famous falcon pair deposited four eggs this spring in a nest box on the northeast side of the JSMB. "For unknown reasons," he said, "only one of the four eggs hatched."
The adult peregrines will be perched on the edge of the nest box or on the side of the building. Walters says the recently hatched falcon isn't quite ready to fly yet. He thinks the young falcon will start flying about a week after the viewing event.
When the falcon takes those harrowing first flights, Walters and a team of volunteers will be on hand to rescue it. "You never know where young falcons will end up," Walters says. "We've had them land in the middle of the busy downtown streets and crash into the sides of buildings. But wherever the bird lands, we'll be there to pick it up."
On the same evening the field trip is held, Walters will train anyone who wants to become a member of his volunteer Peregrine Falcon Watchpost Rescue Team.
For more information about the field trip or the training, call Walters at 801-209-5326.

US 4295308 A Abstract An adapter for the concrete foundation mounted bolts to the bolt holes of a pole base of a different configuration, including a lower plate arranged to be secured to bolts on the concrete base, an upper plate arranged to be secured to the pole base and interconnecting braces inclusive of a central electric wire passage and supporting braces between the plates.
Claims(4) 1. An adapter for pole bases having a bolt hole configuration different than the bolts formed in a concrete foundation, comprising:
(a) a generally square bottom plate having elongated bolt holes set on radials from the center of said plate for mating over the bolts in a concrete foundation, and having a large central circular bore; (b) a generally square top plate having elongate bolt holes set on radials from the center of said plate for mating with bolt holes on a pole base which are of a different configuration than the bolts on the concrete foundation, and having a central circular bore; (c) a short length of pipe welded into the bores of said bottom and top plates to rigidly hold said plates parallel and provide space for manipulating attaching nuts and bolts, and (d) at least four spacers welded to the top and bottom plates securing the plates rigidly and strongly together and spaced a predetermined distance apart, said spacers being spaced uniformly around said short length of pipe. 2. The adapter of claim 1, wherein said spacers are mounted at the edge of the top plate.
3. The adapter of claim 1, wherein said spacers are generally rectangular, welded to the both plates and to said pipe, leaving the bolts holes clear for access by bolt tools.
4. The adapter of claim 1, wherein said bolt holes on said bottom plate are arranged to mate with bolts spaced about 16 inches apart on diagonals and set in a concrete foundation.
Description This invention relates to adapters for securing poles with a base to a bolt held in a concrete foundation, where the bolt arrangement does not fit the bolt hole arrangement on the pole base. Metal utility poles, particularly light poles, have been used for years. The great volume of vehicular traffic on the world's highways has lead to the high use of artificial lighting at areas of a hazard. The lighting, on open highways and in urban districts, is normally accomplished by placing high intensity lamps on poles a substantial distance above the ground. Inveriably, accidents involving vehicles results in collisions of some of the vehicles with the light poles. One solution for alleviating damage to the vehicles, has been the use of break away mountings for the light poles so as to not compound the vehicle damage. Poles for highways have generally conformed to a standard as to all specification. Urban areas had, also, adopted the standards as an economic advantage. Thousands and thousands of poles were used over a series of years having the set design standards. Subsequent experience has demonstrated that the poles of the particular design are not suitable for the circumstances. A new set of standards was adopted, and new installations of lighting facilities use poles of the new design standards. The old style of light poles are mounted on a concrete foundation holding a pattern of bolts arranged to fit the base of the old style pole. Replacement of the old poles with poles of the new specifications has created problems of connection of the new design base to the existing concrete bases. One method is to replace the concrete bases, however, this is expensive and wasteful. Several methods of securing a pole base to bolts in concrete are shown in the prior art, such as U.S. Pat. No. 3,630,474 issued Dec. 23, 1971 to Minor. This patent describes a break-away support, using four break-away connectors threaded on the bolts in a concrete base. The pole base has bolt holes which mate with the bolts in the concrete foundation. A highed pole base is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,311,333 issued Mar. 28, 1967 to Galloway, where the hinged base has bolt holes that mate with bolt holes on the stationary pole support plate, which has bolt holes to mate with the bolts in a concrete foundation. U.S. Pat. No. 4,154,037 issued May 15, 1979 to Anderson has a pole base which is separable from the pole, by sliding, and base is bolted onto the bolts in the concrete. A wooden porch column base is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 2,240,016 issued Apr. 29, 1941 to Pinney where a wooden base has bolt holes to fit three screws in a wooden porch column base. The bolts for the base are accessible from under the porch for threading into nuts, and the bolts for the wooden column are accessible from the base. The present invention provides an adapter for bolts in particular pattern and spacing in a concrete foundation with a pole base having a different bolt hole pattern and spacing. The adapter provides a central opening for elelctric wires and cables for the luminarie mounted on a pole. The adapter includes upper and lower plates held a short distance apart for access to nuts or bolt heads between the plates, and reinforcing spacers to securely connect the two plates together. Included among the objects and advantages of the invention is to provide an adapter for the bolts on a concrete foundation with bolt holes in a pole base with a low profile permitting a standard skirt for the pole base to cover the adapter. Another object of the invention is to provide an adapter for preset bolts to preset bolt holes in a pole base, maintaining sufficient clearance for access to bolt head or nuts in the adapter, and provide sufficient strength to resist stresses placed on the adapter. Still another object of the invention is to provide a pole base adapter arranged with a passage for electric cables and wires and with sufficient strength to withstand the stresses placed on it by the pole. These and other objects and advantages of the invention may be ascertained by reference to the following description and appended drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a bolt plate for a pole base of the adapter of the invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view of a base plate for preset bolts, of the adapter of the invention. FIG. 3 is a side elevation of one form of the adapter of the invention. FIG. 4 is a side elevation of a modified adapter according to the invention. FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the assembly of one form of the adapter. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the assembly of FIG. 5. The adapter of the invention includes a base plate having bolt holes for the bolt pattern set in a concrete foundation and a top plate having a bolt hole pattern for the bolt hole pattern of a pole base. The plates are rigidly secured together but spaced apart, permitting access to nuts for the bolts and providing a passage for electric cables, etc. One preferred modification illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, includes top plate 10 having a large central, circular aperture 12. The plate is essentially square with rounded-off corners and elongated bolt holes 14, 15, 16 and 17 adjacent the corners, and with the long dimension of the holes on radials from the center of the plate. A short length of pipe 18 is welded on both sides of the plate into the bore 12. A bottom plate 20, also, has a central circular bore 22 of the same size as bore 12, so that the length of pipe 18 may be welded on both sides of the plate into the bore. The plate 20 is generally square with rounded corners, and bolt holes 24, 25, 26 and 27 are formed in the plate. The bolt holes are elongated, with the long dimension on a radial from the center of the plate. Addition connectors 30, 31, 32 and 33 are welded to the edge of the top plate, centered on a side. These connectors are welded to the base plate at position in line with the in positions on the top plate. The bottom plate is about 16 inches square, and the top plate is about 12 inches square, for luminaria poles. The bolt holes in base plate are on 16" spacings on diagonals measuring from inside edge of one hole to the inside edge of the opposite hole on the diagonal. The holes in the base plate for the bolts are conveniently made 2 inches long. The plates are made of 1 inch steel stock. The top plate, of the 1 inch stock, has its bolt holes spaced 12 inches apart on diagonals with 11/4 inch long holes. The connectors are 1 inch by 2 inch by 4 inch long steel stock spacers welded to both plates. The pipe 18 is a steel pipe 7 inches I.D. with a 3/16 inch wall. The unit is placed on a concrete foundation having bolts in a square pattern, being spaced about 16 inches apart on diagonals. The adapter is secured down by nuts 35 on the bolt ends exposed above the concrete in the foundation. Bolts placed through the holes in the top plate may be used to bolt the base of pole (not shown) to the unit. The skirt or cover for the bases of such poles are used to cover the base and bolts. The standard skirt or cover for the pole bases cover the adapters as well as the base of the pole. The central opening is large enough for the cables needed for the luminarie. The preferred unit of FIGS. 4-6 is similar to the unit of FIGS. 1-3, using a slightly different spacer system. The unit includes top plate 10a and bottom plate 20a, each having elongated bolt holes in a similar pattern, such as 14a, 15a, 16a and 17a, each for retaining a bolt therein. The base includes elongated bolt holes 24a, 25a, 26a and 27a. A central pipe 18a is mounted in central bores through each plate, and is welded to the plate. Support-spacers 43, 44, 45 and 46 are welded to the top and bottom plates and to the pipe. The pipe is preferably welded at its end to the outside of the plates, at W1, FIG. 6 of the top plate, as well as the inside of the plates, as shown as at W2, FIG. 6. The spacers are preferably welded to each plate and to the pipe. This provides sufficient strength of the unit to withstand the stresses subjected on the adapter, for example, the stresses encountered when the pole is buffeted by high winds. The length of the pole induces high moment stresses on the base and the adapter. The low profile of the adapter permits it to fit within the pole base cover, without modification of the standard base covers. Patent Citations

China targets space station in 2020: report
Beijing (AFP) Nov 7, 2007 China is aiming to place a 20-tonne space station into orbit around Earth in 2020, state media reported Wednesday, in the latest indication of Beijing's lofty space ambitions. China's space ambitions have attracted huge attention, notably since 2003 when it sent a man into space, only the third country to accomplish that feat after the United States and the former Soviet Union. The timetable for China's first-ever space station was given by Long Lehao, one of the leading designers of the Long March 3A rocket which carried a lunar probe into space late last month, the China Daily reported. In an interview, he told the paper that the planned space station would be "a small-scale 20-tonne workshop." The paper said it was the first time a precise date had been given for the station. However, later in the day state-run Xinhua news agency quoted a spokesman of the China National Space Administration as saying there was still no specific timetable for a space station. "No plans issued by the government so far has said we are going to develop a space station," said Li Guoping, according to Xinhua. China has previously voiced interest in participating in the International Space Station being built in orbit jointly by the United States, Russia, Japan and a number of European countries. But the US military and some lawmakers have opposed China's involvement in the station and other space cooperation with Beijing, viewing Beijing's young space programme as a potential threat to the US satellite system. The China Daily did not explicitly say if the space station would be manned permanently. However, previous reports outlining China's medium- to long-term plans for space have suggested it would have a permanent crew. A crucial step in completing the plan will be construction of the powerful Long March 5 rocket, which will be capable of carrying heavier loads than the existing Long March 3, according to the paper. Long's remarks were published as China's first lunar probe, the Chang'e 1, entered into final orbit around the moon, where it will carry out measurements of the lunar surface for at least a year.

hello world China's Lunar Probe Completes Last Orbital Transfer Before Leaving Earth Beijing (XNA) Nov 01, 2007 China's lunar probe Chang'e-1 completed its fourth orbital transfer on Wednesday afternoon, a critical move to push it to fly to the moon "in a real sense." The engine on the probe was started at 5:15 p.m.. Thirteen minutes later, the probe was successfully shifted to the earth-moon transfer orbit with an apogee of about 380,000 km. |

lol you want your old gtx 260 back, nah im loving it didnt you get a 4850 then trade that in for a 4870 now want a new card lmfao thats a lot of card switching, you might end up with one of your old cards sometime i knew when you said you wanted to downgrade you wouldnt last
have u decided on a nice 9800gtx2 then? nice cards that have come down a lot in price since they came out the 260gtx are good but in the UK cards are still dear you can get a old 260 for the price of a new 55nm or well just about £10-£20 difference
this is about 40.00 to much but a great deal none the less 280 gtx 284.99 after rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143141 also since you want something to play with this has voltage control build in and does like 880 core, ever thought of this bad boy, it is still not as fast as a overclocked 260gtx but will reach 260gtx stock speeds and will match a 4870 1 gb because it has voltage control built into it and very very good cooling. It also has a coolness factor . However, from a performance stand point is about 30.00 overpriced. ASUS EAH4870 MATRIX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121298
yes thats what the reviews say some say it can hit 900 core. It's really not a normal 4870 has a different and improved power system. In a review I just read it did 880 core and that's screaming for a 4870 here is the review it almost quotes ya Nate http://www.legitreviews.com/article/881/1/
yeah I know exactly what you're talking about, just too bad they didn't couple all of it's advanced features with 1gb ram, then it would be the absolute best 4870 available (or do they have one with 1gb?)
not yet( but I bet there will be). I would just want to play with it. It just has all the things I like to fool with, it could keep ya busy for hours. It is truly batman's video card, okay well maybe besides this card but it's way out of the price range. but it's way out of this price range
I like everything about it(except 512mb of ram) Asus did it before evga and gave you software voltage control and hardware (switches on the card) or so I read.
What if I increased my budget, what about this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814102809
You cannot go wrong... very nice and very unique. I always wanted that or the 4870X2 in a phenom II 940 Micro atx system...in a small case... with a handle... and a window... *wakes up* what just happened?
Driver trouble and almost zero ati support and a noisy as hell cooler. You would be better off with the BFG 280gtx
Yeah, it's almost like Sapphire went to so much trouble just to bring a unique card to market and then decided not to support it... and i've read the same thing about the cooler being noisy as heck and since it's not heatpipe, you need the crank the fans to get it to cool well.
When the drivers work properly .... @Paulie If you want something close to 4850X2 performance, get 2x 4830's. I am still sticking my guns with an EVGA GTX 260 216
I wished I had saved it for you. The guy I sold to was a douche bag. I switched my normal carrier Fedex to his UPS b/c he does not like Fedex. I handed the package to UPS driver the same day and he was giving me shit for not dropping it off at UPS store so that the tracking information would show up earlier. WTF?!
I say stick with ATI on a Crossfire board. More options that way. The only way I would make an exception is if I jumped straight to the 295.
I have had crossfire rigs and they are great when it's supported and when the drivers work, but thats the key and if your going to buy two cards why not avoid that problem and buy the most card you can afford. I had two 4850's in crossfire and they were monsters , however, getting the crossfire drivers to install and work right and then finding a game that supports it was a crap shoot. I had trouble getting crossfire to work at all a bunch of times after new driver releases. Crossfire can be a pain in the ass as SLI can, both suffer from the same troubles. Get a powerful single gpu video card and buy the best one you can afford , with the best resale and then all those problem disappear.
i gotta agree with trt on that one. Xfire, while a very romantic idea, can be more of a headache than it's worth. I can't speak on the dual gpu boards with xfire built in but with two cards, it can be a real PITA
I can speak on the 3870x2, because the card had two gpus on one pcb , it was and is very well supported and to this day it worked very well. That sapphire 4850x2 was another story as was the 3850x2 both are not supported right.
Even with the PITA factor, an ATI card still leaves more options open on a Crossfire board than an nVidia card does. If he buys an nVidia card, his ONLY recourse for upgrade after that is to remove and replace. Whereas with the ATI cards, he also has the option to add additional cards instead of mearly replacing them. And I know about the pains of Crossfire. Try getting a 4870 1GB and a 4850 512MB card to play nice together. lol. All it takes is a little research and tweaking time finding the right driver and settings. Not really a big deal at all.
Well then there is the horrible ATI resale and it is horrible . Where the geforce cards, especially XFX and EVGA, resell super well. He would be better off with a 260gtx 216 or 280gtx, on both fronts and with either one in your rig nothing gonna overpower it (anytime soon). Night guys, good luck Pauly boy!!!!

Obama Addresses Nation on Afghanistan Troop Drawdown
Submitted by Michael Nystrom on Wed, 06/22/2011 - 19:41WASHINGTON — President Obama takes his case for winding down the nation's 10-year war in Afghanistan to a war-weary public tonight when he announces the start of troop withdrawals in a prime-time address to the nation.

Quote worth noting...
"It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." --Albert Einstein
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win!"
Worth noting is right!
I guess we can cross off the July 2011 date for troop recall from our list of Obama campaign lies and broken promises. And while we're at it, we can watch those high gas prices start to fall, too! Actually, we should probably start a list of Obama campaign promises kept.
"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this any more!"

Country Store Post on Icebox : Campaign Lies & Broken Promises.
Before paying our silver dime, & indulging on our favorite ice cream, us kids were shocked to notice all the, "Campaign Lies & Broken Promises" posted on the icebox. We were hoping the icebox was still stocked with our favorite ice cream.
By & by, "Campaign Lies & Broken Promises" got to be so thick, you could not open the icebox. Frozen tight in the misty fog.
Well, after a good bit more time went by, we kids grew. We forgot about the ice box & ice cream. We went to the new 5 & Dime. Took our silver dime, bought coffee around... then gave the rest of the coin as a tip to the waitress.
"Campaign Lies & Broken Promises," buried that ol' country store. We miss it.

Obama 500 promises...
I thought this was interesting...
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win!"
Fun idea
About Libya, they say, "And we want to be clear: the Obama administration's argument violates our standards of common sense, and we didn't find one independent expert who whole-heartedly supported the claim that actions in Libya are not 'hostilities.'"
I just checked three sites I expected would have people defending Obama...
FireDogLake, CrooksAndLiars, ThinkProgress...
They are silent and/or anti-obama .. and I mean nasty anti-obama more than I see here from time to time... If the Republicans had half a brain they would let Ron Paul go for the throat... he wont back down one inch and his record proves it... and the left and right are ready for a surge!
This is a 'historical'
This is a 'historical' thread! First ever to see minus (-) number for post by the owner of DailyPaul, Michael Nystom! lol It is certain that Michael is not taking this personal ;)
Trust in God, but tie your camel tight.
"Socialism needs two legs on which to stand; a right and a left. While appearing to be in complete opposition to one another,they both march in the same direction." - Paul Proctor
It's like they wind him up
It's like they wind him up (Obama) and wheel him out to 'act' out this drivel. How can he keep a straight face when he is reading this tripe. Listening to him I was reminded of the late Henry Gibson reading his famous poem 'Is the frog the farmers friend, I don't know,' and on and on....that's all I heard tonight.
Lemon Moon
Obama said a lot of words
But all I heard was Nixon saying 'Peace with Honor.'
Nixon, "Peace with Honor." A UN Sanction, aka: War.
Vietnam honor was fortified by UN sanctions. The supposed honor was related the, "Southeast Asian Treaty Organization." Its charter was a cut-n-past of the UN Charter. The words such as, "Southeast Asian Treaty," were cut-n-pasted. Then they were type written on fancy paper. Cannot rightly remember who signed or if it was merely make-believe. What a sad joke.
"Own the UN" is a derivative of & owned by "The Banks"
The UN sanctioned:
- Korean Standoff aka: War; UN resolution; went right the Chinese border in a few weeks; 60 year cease fire; no victory parade; we're still there
- Vietnam Standoff aka: War; Southeast Asian Treaty was a UN charter cut-n-past document; ugly mess; hasty exit; no victory parade
- Fast forward, skipping a few decades of UN sanctioned conflict
- 1990, Gulf I Kuwait Line-in-the-Sand, aka: War; UN resolution; Iraq went home; Kuwaiti aristocracy listened politely to our speeches about democracy; aristocracy restored
- 2001, Afghanistan Hunt aka: War; no comment
- 2003, Gulf II Iraq Line-in-the-Sand, aka: War; UN sanction; no comment
- 2010 -2011, Iran, Libya... UN sanctions?

There is nothing to see here.
Now, move along.
Yet to be seen, but if true...
If anything it is proof that Ron Paul is winning the battle and leading the country, even if he isn't the standing president. Congratulations Dr. Ron Paul.
You are right. Ron Paul is winning this battle
Reluctantly pulling out the troops.
Begrudgingly pulling out the troops.
Wants to get re-elected and is pulling out the troops.
Growing public sentiment against never ending wars and is pulling out the troops.
Bankrupt and is forced to pull out the troops.
I don't care about the reason at this point, just bring them home.
Wants to get re-elected. He wants to present the image he is pulling out of the war and let the Republicans take the war is necessary argument, as expressed by Lindsey Graham, John McCain and the neo-cons. This was a political speech, given to shore up his base of anti war supporters. A little false hope for the sheeple, the real anti war candidate is Ron Paul and it's becoming more clear every day.
Totally. Everything he says is for perception's sake.
That is his M.O. (along with most politicians). It has no relation to what he DOES. Like a magician - don't watch here, listen to me direct your attention where it needs to go, away from what I'm actually doing.
The sad part is that most of his supporters are just waiting like abuse victims to be reassured that he's really the old Barack, the candidate, Barack, the man they fell in love with - now they all feel better about continuing to support him.
Body language experts have detected Obama is lying...
...his lips were moving! Even as the troops are taken out; contractors will replace them. Stop the insanity! Vote him out of office. If he is voted in again by ignorant americans; I am selling everything of value, and leaving socialist america.
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win!"
We all know how this works...
There is no reason to take a partisan tact here. This isnt about Obama. This is about the status quo. Unless the American people put their foot down what WILL happen is that America will maintain its presence in Iraq. We WILL maintain our presence in Afghanistan even if we beat the Taliban into letting us choose the leaders of their own country. We will keep a large armed embassy and base(s) there just like in Germany and Japan and 130 other countries around the world.
The funny thing though... even Obama is feeling the heat from all those brush fires the Ron Paul Revolution has set... not that he or any other status quo president is going to actually change things.
Obama: "We must start nation building at home."
Ron Paul: "We are spending billions blowing up bridges in other people's countries while our bridges here at home are falling down."
The Revolution is gaining ground.
He is using his words, now he needs to follow through with action. Ron Paul is winning all the political battles.

Bill Orally said on the "The Factor" that the next leader won't be Ron Paul. His name was brought up in a segment with a retired Colonel discussing the "OBAMA DRAW DOWN"..
Well he is the Revolution's
Well he is the Revolution's "idea" leader. Championing the causes of liberty and freedom in the den of lions.
well O'Reilly can suck my toe jam. Like HE's the great oracle. If it ISN'T Ron Paul, somebody should tell him, then who's going to stop the train of state from plunging off the cliff? Romney? Obama? Puuuuhhhhllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeez!!!!!
Fascinating bits of rhetoric
My fellow Americans, this has been a difficult decade for our country. We have learned anew the profound cost of war -- a cost that has been paid by the nearly 4500 Americans who have given their lives in Iraq, and the over 1500 who have done so in Afghanistan – men and women who will not live to enjoy the freedom that they defended. Thousands more have been wounded. Some have lost limbs on the field of battle, and others still battle the demons that have followed them home...
...Already this decade of war has caused many to question the nature of America's engagement around the world. Some would have America retreat from our responsibility as an anchor of global security, and embrace an isolation that ignores the very real threats that we face. Others would have America over-extend ourselves, confronting every evil that can be found abroad.
We must chart a more centered course. Like generations before, we must embrace America's singular role in the course of human events. But we must be as pragmatic as we are passionate; as strategic as we are resolute. When threatened, we must respond with force – but when that force can be targeted, we need not deploy large armies overseas. When innocents are being slaughtered and global security endangered, we don't have to choose between standing idly by or acting on our own. Instead, we must rally international action, which we are doing in Libya...

Obama said,
"Some would have America retreat from our responsibility as an anchor of global security..."
Right there was where I stopped listening! America's responsibility is to AMERICANS! We are broke! We need jobs! We need our infrastructure fixed! We need sound currency! We need our borders protected! We need security right here--and some "person" sticking their hands down the pants of little kids and grannies is NOT making anybody feel secure!! Your oath was to the Constitution; your responsibility is to the American people ONLY!
And, Obama, how corrupt (and, imo, treasonous)is this?:
White House loosens border rules for 2012
Trying to get the illegal vote (AGAIN)? The illegals should not even be here, let alone voting...
And what about betraying your Oath to the Constitution by not consulting Congress IN ADVANCE regarding Libya?! The Constitution trumps UN mandates!
All your actions are so transparent--nothing more than feeble attempts to get re-elected!

Is there an instruction
Is there an instruction manual on how to write so much to say so little?
and more
In all that we do, we must remember that what sets America apart is not solely our power – it is the principles upon which our union was founded. We are a nation that brings our enemies to justice while adhering to the rule of law, and respecting the rights of all our citizens. We protect our own freedom and prosperity by extending it to others. We stand not for empire, but for self-determination. That is why we have a stake in the democratic aspirations that are now washing across the Arab World. We will support those revolutions with fidelity to our ideals, with the power of our example, and with an unwavering belief that all human beings deserve to live with freedom and dignity.

Instead, the screen is wiped and we cut to Baltar, lying in the ruins of the Opera House like he was last week. Oh, it's a dream. He opens his eyes and sees Vipers and Raptors fly past, and then the camera pans down to reveal Adama marching over. Adama helps Baltar stand up, and we see the rest of the crash survivors being helped by other crewmen. Adama asks, "What do you have there?" Baltar's back is to the camera, but he's clearly holding something as he looks at Adama and says, "Well, it's a child, obviously." Adama asks if he can hold the baby, and Baltar hands it over. The kid remains swaddled in a white blanket so that we can't see it, but Adama peeks at its face and asks, "Is this the shape of things to come?" Baltar says that's his understanding. Adama harrumphs, "Only one thing for it, then," and walks away. The music gets all belly-dancer-ish as Baltar begins calling after Adama. Adama keeps on walking, and Baltar starts to chase after him but just can't catch up. I really like this music, but this sequence could be shorter. Adama walks and walks, and Baltar shouts and chases, and eventually Adama marches right into the river, gets hip-deep, and plops the baby underwater. Baltar finally catches up, just as Adama turns and heads back to shore. Baltar splashes around in the river, looking for the baby. Moore says that there was a lot of resistance to including this scene, because Adama drowns a baby. Which is bizarre, because first of all: dream sequence! A crazy person's dream sequence, in fact. Secondly, it's a nonexistent evil robot hybrid monster baby! Oh yeah, and thirdly, it's fiction! In conclusion, people are weird.
And then Baltar wakes up, jerking up from where his head was cradled in Six's lap. Out of the nightmare, into the hallucination. Baltar tells Six about his dream and asks, "Why would anyone want to drown a baby?" Because sometimes you don't have a grill handy? Six more enigmatically answers, "The answer's all around us." And then we see that the grove they're in is littered with skulls and bones. Not secret-society members; skeletons. Baltar asks what happened, and Six says, "Human sacrifice. Not the fairy tales your scriptures would have you believe." Baltar stammers that he thought Kobol was a paradise where the gods lived in harmony with humans. Well, that doesn't necessarily mean that the humans lived in harmony with each other. Six attributes the problem to "your brutality, your depravity, your barbarism." Oh, that. Baltar moans that the scriptures are just covering up savagery. Should this be so surprising to him? Isn't he the atheist? Six reminds Baltar that all of this has happened before, and tha all of this will happen again. Which has certainly been true of that line, at least. Baltar figures that Adama really will try to kill their baby, which he's only seen in hallucinations, but that's Baltar for you. Six says, "Only if you let him."

Description: Mitchell and Carter, life-long friends who have drifted apart, are on a road trip when their old pickup breaks down, leaving them stranded on an isolated desert road. Nobody can pick apart a man like his best friend, and as the relentless elements of the desert grind them down, they start to attack each other's life decisions with unwavering brutality. As they question who they are and who they could have been, their agitation leads to physical confrontation and ultimately knife-wielding madness, and what begins as an inconvenience becomes a very real life or death struggle.

AL West Notes: Angels, C.J. Wilson
A couple of notes out of the American League West as the Rangers ready for Game 3 of the World Series ...
- The Angels will interview Omar Minaya for their general manager vacancy, according to Kevin Baxter of the Los Angeles Times. Minaya previously served as Mets GM from 2005-10 and as Expos GM from 2002-04. We learned Thursday that Rays executive Andrew Friedman has met with the Halos regarding the opening and tops the team's wish list, but he's seen as a long shot to take the job. Yesterday, White Sox executives Dan Evans and Rick Hahn joined the list of candidates.
- Minaya is still under contract with the Mets but was not an active member of the organization in 2011, according to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, who also reports that Minaya has a "standing offer" from Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers to work in the Arizona organization.
- Rangers GM Jon Daniels was asked about impending free agent starter C.J. Wilson on Saturday and said, "We'd love to have him back," according to Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Still, the early rumors regarding Texas' chances of (or interest in) re-signing the left-hander are pretty mixed.
- For more on what the Angels, Athletics, and Mariners face this winter, be sure to check out their respective installments in MLBTR's Offseason Outlook series.
