Obama admin's OPM, headed by a gay man, reportedly blocks lesbian from getting health benefits
Finally., the press and the voters are catching on to Hillary and her overstatement (over touted) experience. She has credibility issues and they are not small "misspoke" issues.

Obama surely knows that Condi is a toxic Bush Relic.
Pentagon: Inventory ordered of all U.S. nukes
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Defense Secretary Robert Gates has formally ordered the Air Force, Navy and Defense Logistics Agency to conduct an inventory of all U.S. nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon-related materials to make sure all items are accounted for, according to a Pentagon memo released Thursday.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates orders an inventory of all U.S. nuclear weapons and related materials.
The order comes in the wake of the discovery last week that four nuclear warhead fuses were accidentally shipped to Taiwan in 2006.
Gates' memo, issued Wednesday, calls for all items to be accounted for by serial number.
Pentagon officials said at a news conference Tuesday that Gates would call for the review in addition to a full investigation into how the shipment to Taiwan from a Defense Logistics Agency warehouse happened 18 months ago.
Love his comment, "I'm skinny but I'm tough." LOL
Did Whoopi chime in at all?
Pardon the crass response but as the saying goes:
"Its not what you do and what you know...
its who you know and who you blow."
Firebrand is only crass because he grew up in a bog. :-)
You must have have a 6th sense or something. I've worked as a wetland scientist for years.
How about giving us some winning lottery numbers....
Now THAT explains what happened to our once vast wetlands! :-)
And here's your lottery numbers, you little heathen, 6-6-6. Bingo! LOL
How would whites feel if they couldn't run for office simply because they, their preacher, or someone in their family, uttered the "n" word from time to time? Or called Latinos "spics" or worse or uttered all kinds of derogatory names about those of another ethicity? Why, we probably wouldn't have10% of the elected officials in this country we already have.
Colombia seizes 60lb of depleted uranium
Colombia's government has claimed that Leftist rebels were plotting to make a "dirty" radiological bomb after security agents seized 60 lb of low-grade depleted uranium.
The radioactive material was found buried by the side of a main road near Bogota, the capital.
The seizure comes weeks after the Colombian air force bombed a guerrilla camp in Ecuador, killing Raul Reyes, the "public face" of the Farc revolutionary group.

The government claimed that three computers seized after the raid showed that the guerillas were looking to acquire uranium in order to make a dirty bomb.
While depleted uranium cannot be used to make a nuclear weapon, it could be mixed with explosives to spread radiological material.
The government also said the computers showed that Venezuela and Ecuador were supporting the Farc.

well...she lies well too....just like the rest of Bushies cronies.
Wait....maybe she's not a 'good' liar....just another liar for Bush.
The US secretary of state also decried the "birth defect" of slavery that she said has left Americans struggling to confront racism.

Wow, you are the little gossip monger aren't you. About 99 percent of your posts are about unfounded anti-Obama smears you find on some wacko web site or just make up out of whole cloth.
I don't think this is true -- unless they plan on having someone play piano during the cabinet meetings.
Ah, I just recoginzed who you are Jackie.
Glad to have to have you on here.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke at a breakfast today of powerful economic conservatives in Washington, say The Huffington Post and The Washington Note. They speculate Rice is courting conservatives to position herself as a possible vice presidential pick of Sen. John McCain.

This is off topic John but something that might be worthy of a topic all it's own. I know the Bush criminals like to waste money but this story blows my mind. It's a long read but sickening just the same.

But to arm the Afghan forces that it hopes will lead this fight, the American military has relied since early last year on a fledgling company led by a 22-year-old man whose vice president was a licensed masseur.
With the award last January of a federal contract worth as much as nearly $300 million, the company, AEY Inc., which operates out of an unmarked office in Miami Beach, became the main supplier of munitions to Afghanistan’s army and police forces.

This is EXACTLY like the company that cunningham finally got caught getting kickbacks from.

It sure smells like it, something VERY stinky about a 22 year old kid getting $300 million in defense contracts when he sells 40 year old munitions (scrap metal) to the US Gov. Who ok'ed this, who got kickbacks? I think this is bigger than cunningham, Bush should be in jail.
I think Obama will pick Richardson or Biden as his Sec. of State - both good picks IMHO.
not that its anything new...
["In our fifth year in the war in Iraq," according to Alan Grayson, the attorney for whistle-blowers, "the Bush administration has not litigated a single case against any war profiteer under the False Claims Act." This at a time, Grayson told a congressional committee, when "billions of dollars are missing and many billions more wasted." Grayson knows what he is talking about. He represented the whistle-blowers in the Custer Battles case brought under the False Claims Act—a case in which the Justice Department refused to get involved, and the only one that has gone to trial.]

"Because the — all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those — changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be — or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled." --explaining his plan to save Social Security, Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4, 2005

true, but read that Vanity Fair article... specifically the part about the company Custer Battles... try a google search on them as well.
$300 million is nothing when you consider the war is going to cost over a trillion dollars... where'd all that money go?
You have me pegged... ya bloke. Now where did Obama Girl skip off to....

I'm smiling from ear to ear. That new poll is GREAT NEWS !!!!
'twas a brave thing you did for the team.
All Obama NEEDS is to be associated with the woman who won't let her child read about gay penguins and who thinks that Jesus came before Alexander the Great.
In Hasselbeck's case all they'd really have to do is record the last 5 things she said that day. She never fails to exceed her past levels of stupidity.
It is a pity he has to constantly deal with the kitchen sink tactics thrown at him
on a daily basis, because it prevents his brilliance from being seen.
When I watched him speak, it made me realize, more than ever, that we need
someone like him to unite, and represent this country. The present occupant in the WH seems like a rambling imbecile, compared to Obama. I wish he would go on more shows like this, since it brings out a more relaxed candidate, joking, and able to explain his policies, and brings out the brilliance in him.
BO never talked about the economy and the housing mess? Hmmmm

1) I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leaches.
2) I'd rather have genital herpies
3) I'd rather get 1000 paper cut on my face.
4) I'd rather jump into a pool full of rusty razor blades.
5) I'd rather get a colanostipy.
6) I'd rather go back to whoring myself out to fat chicks for 100$ a night.
7) I'd rather eat rat poison.
8) I'd rather have my eyes gouged out with hot pokers.

It's obvious the kid was selling scrap munitions to the US Gov for millions, he even has a listing at one of the worlds largest scrap metal dealers website, or at least until they get around to scrubbing it ( i have cached it ).

John , some time back you did a post in regards to Obama saying some troops in Afghanistan were ill equipped, I have to wonder how many , if any of these scrap munitions found there way to our troops. This is BIG John and should be thrown at Bush criminals and McCain!
Here's a link with more and how the sales may have been illegal:

LunaStick,
This whole story makes me sick to high heaven. There are so many things wrong with tax payers shelling out $300 million for basically junk munitions from a 22 year old kid. WTF, who is minding the store. The DOD biggest cry is that the munitions were from China, never mind they are junk, never mind a 22 year old kid burned them for $300 million .......
These are not the actions of a leader, especially as we are about to regain the Dem party from the g*d 'centrists.'
Howard Dean is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Hillary's campaign has been playing hardball with him. I think he is just doing his job--trying to be impartial and let the voters decide nominee...which we have: it's Obama '08, baby. ;-)
On another note:
To hell with Howard Dean!
He spreads the blame evenly between Clinton and Obama for the divisiveness in the Dem part.y, saying we shouldn't be hearing about Clinton's (non)actions in Bosnia? Then how else, Howard, are we to judge her "experience" and her character?
Someone wrote earlier that the Dem party realignment we are now experiencing from the "centrist" DLC back to our principles, is necessary and should have taken place years ago. I agree, and for it to happen Dean should be replaced. What a g'damn disappointment he has been.
Oh hell yeah!
Painting the Hillary camp and the Obama camp with the same brush?
And he'll seat the FL & MI delegates? Without a re-vote?
Gawddamnit!
