Speaking of The Cesspool, has anyone heard anything about this bomb that was discovered at an MLK day parade in Spokane, WA?
Chucky’s hyping it like it was the “most deadly bomb ever discovered in the US” or some sh** but I have not heard anything about the story elsewhere.

Google it. A number of websites have it covered, the FBI is still trying to track down the perp. The MLK Parade was rerouted at the last minute while they took care of a remote-controlled pipe bomb with shrapnel and t-shirts. It was placed on a concrete bus bench, with the apparent intention of directing the shrapnel at the paraders themselves. Lotta conjecture about white supremacist gangs.

Was a crippling cruise ship “fire” and a mysterious “missile launch” late last year the work of a rogue Chinese Navy “sending a message” to President Barack Obama?
President Obama wrapped up his Asian junket with a trip to the G-20 summit in Seoul.
There, as Bloomberg reports, Obama “attacked China’s policy of undervaluing its currency.” Continuing its military metaphors, Bloomberg adds that the gathering was “marked by clashes.” Not without its own ammunition, China “took aim at the Federal Reserve’s monetary easing.”
Had the Chinese wanted to use more than words to show their ability to strip America of its creature comforts, they could not have chosen a more symbolic way than an EMP– electromagnetic pulse–attack on, say, a cruise ship like the Splendor.
As it happens, the Splendor lost its power early Monday, November 8, some 44 miles offshore and roughly 200 miles south of San Diego. No media report that I could find questioned the official “fire in the engine room” explanation. It may even be true.
@ Calo:

@ rain of lead:
Ya’ll remember that missle launch? I do
never thought there could be a connection to a cruise ship
something to watch for…
We will have a better idea ofthepossible“China link” when the Carnival Splendor is examined closely and repaired in San Francisco next week. If the U.S. military keeps the undercarriage and repair work cloaked when the ship is raised to dry-dock, we will have our answer, won’t we?
One final nagging suspicion: While the narrative quoted above mentioned “noone was injured” in the cruise ship’s incident, I have found this article which says, in fact, one crew member died in the “fire incident.” This report quotes the Carnival company saying the ship’s damage is catastrophic and more than $11 million in cruise business has been lost.
@ Prebanned:
heh
I guess the ladies here like us southern guys

Wouldn’t doubt Carnival’s statement. If they’re running on tight margins, a ship full of empty cabins out of commission indefinitely, and a big-ass repair bill…probably crushing their bottom line.
Never gave the EMP thing a thought…could be?
@ Brick:
something else
The Carnival Splendor cruise ship caught fire in its engine room near San Diego on Nov. 8 and lost its communication and propulsion abilities in the blaze.
why would a fire in the engine room cause the ship to lose it’s
communications?
would they not have some sort of battery backup?

Shimon Peres’s wife, Sonya, dies at 87 in Tel Aviv
By JPOST.COM STAFF
01/20/2011 13:50
Born in the Ukraine in 1923, Sonya made aliyah four years later, married the future president in 1945; Peres making his way to his Tel Aviv home.
Sonya Peres passed away on Thursday, aged 87. She leaves behind her husband, President Shimon Peres, and three grown children, Tzvia, Yonatan and Nehemiah.
MDA was called to Peres’s Tel Aviv apartment to revive her, but were forced to pronounce her dead.
Sonya Peres, nee Gellman, was born in Poland in 1923, and made aliyah in 1927. Her parents worked and lived at the Ben Shemen Youth Village, where she met her future husband. He was in the grade above her.
In 1942, she enlisted in the British Army, where she served as nurse in an army hospital near Cairo. She was later made a truck driver for the British Army and drove across Europe several times.
Sonya and Shimon Peres were married in May, 1945, and were amongst the founders of Kibbutz Alumot.
Sonya Peres was known for being private, and did not go to many political events. She chose not to move to the Beit Hanassi in 2007, and the two have lived separately since then.
@ Bumr50:
well that depends on the type of HWH you have
Donald Trump was on Fox and Friends. he spoke the truth, the reason Obama is becoming popular is becasue the GOP folded in the lame duck. They should NOT have agreed to the Tax Cut extension. What they should of done was let it expire, let taxes rise. Then when they take over Congress, propose real cuts and put Obama on the spot. Trump also says we should play hardball with China and stop being their sucker. He is speaking the truth unlike Palin, Romney, Gingrich and Huckabee who spout the same old GOP talking points.

Good MOrning, Blogmocracy! Today is nanother day in the Glorious Reign of Emperor Barack Hussein I, Pasha of the United States, and Defender of the

It seems that the Media lies about Sarah Palin being responsible for the Tucson shootings have done their job, and she is no longer a vialble candidate for President. This isn’t a surprise given the cowardly and supine way the Republican Establishment didn’t respond to these vile slanders. Well and good. We are going to allow the Democrats to choose our Presidential candidate again, and in the Dole/McCain format, he will lose graciously. The Republicans are complicit in this shit. They go along with the bullshit, like the proposed mixed seating during the State of the Union, while Democrats compare them to Nazis, slander them with blood libels accusing them of complicity in all manner of crimes, while the fucking GOP tries to be colliegial and *spit* bipartisan *spit*. Therer is no point. I am thoroughly disguested with the pussilanimous GOP. They have less balls that a steer. Sarah Palin is the only man in the fucking race for President. The emasculated eunuchs that are being presented as serious candidates for 2012 don’t have a collective testicle among them, and will not fight to win the Presidency. I am disgusted. One thing is sure. I have better things to do with my money that donate it to people who want to lose well. I’ll still hope tho hold the House, and even win the Senate, but if the Republicans aren’t even going to try to win the Presidency, I refuse to allow myself to try and do anything for them just so they can be nice to the motherfucking scum called Democrats. Politics is War. The Democrats know this. The Republicans think it is fucking tiddlywinks.Dooood! Put a zip on it already!

He is the only one who gives me hope. The rest are clowns and would be minimally better than Obama. They are not addressing the issue of lack of economic mobility.
I know you don’t like him, but he’s the only one who gives me hope. I am no where near the level in economic advancement as my mom was at my age. It’s been a lost decade for people in my generation. I have become disillusioned and Trump gives me hope.

I am a history buff and can tell you, we are in a Dark Age. Trump is the only one who can get us out of it and make us feared by our enemies.
@ vagabond trader:
Yeah, that will be interesting. Obama knows he can push the Republicans around, so he will probably do something to please his base. It has always been a matter of time before he got around to gun control. He was too busy destroying AMerica in other ways to do gun control in his first two years, but in the next two he’ll find the time.

Again, Trump has not made his positions know on any real issues. He will have to do that before he can be consdered even a potential serious candidate. I believe that when he makes his positions know (if he does), then he will be shown to be a regional candidate with only appeal in New York and surrounding areas. You can’t win the Presidency with just New York. If you could, the Dems would have a lock on the Presidency, because no Republican, not even Trump, can win New York.

Even if true (Did even Reagan win New York? He must have his second term), you can’t win the Presidency by appealing to one state, or only one segment of the Country. I’ve seen nothing to convince me that Trump has the potential to appeal to anyone outside of a narrow Demographic from the Liberal Northeast.

I think that if the Republicans even consider Trump we are screwed. He’s a novelty candidate and I seriously doubt that he could ever hope to pass the extensive proctol exam that will be administered to whoever runs against Obama. Every decimal point of every business deal he has ever made will be scrutinized; I won’t go so far as to say he’s crooked, but he could very likely be “spun” as such by the media.
If Tucson has taught us anything, it’s that the press doesn’t really need any proof, all they need to do is infer an allegation. Does anyone doubt that there are some potentially “grey areas” in Donald Trump’s business career that could be “darkened” by the press?
