Another big protest in Anaheim, CA leads to arrests.
What is up with all those empty seats at the Olympics? (Update: link fixed!)

The protests in Anaheim have been a waste of time. Most of the protestors out there don't know what they're doing, and seem to be there "just because."
Kind of like your presence here, yes?
Who is Cheney to say that Obama is making a foreign policy mistake when it was Bush who had set the timetable for withdrawal?
There's no way to win with these people:
-withdraw from Iraq: bad foreign policy
-stay in Iraq: massive military spending in times of crisis
But hey, which Republicans have common sense these days?

Who cares what Dick Cheney thinks?
That this is your top story is proof of either the undeserved connections between the Cheney press flacks and the Washington media or just how incredibly slow non-Olympic news has been over the weekend.
The link for the empty seats at the Olympics goes to a list of birthdays...
These people were out celebrating their birthday instead of attending the Olympics.
Weird. Must have been a sort of catch-all link they use to hold stories temporarily. I have updated the link above, but here it is as well. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/at-london-olympics-empty-seats-have-organizers-scrambling-giving-away-tickets-to-children-and-soldiers/2012/07/29/gJQA6YVBJX_story.html
Presidents Cheney and Bush = (fill in the blank)
war criminals
Romney adviser, "Talk war with Iran to make peace."
That sounds like "Speak softly but carry a big stick." - so possibly has some merit.
When a parent tells the child something like - "Clean up your room - or else!" - the "or else!" needs to be something you are actually prepared to carry out.
So - OK - "Talk war with Iran" - wow - think that through people!!
List of questions:
So - let's decide FIRST if this is an "or else!" we are prepared for.
Otherwise, "Talk war" is just blunderbuss HOT AIR.
List of answers:
Draft returns for everyone. No excuses. No deferments.
First ones drafted, Willard's sons. No excuses. No deferments.
Second ones drafted, sons of the rich. No excuses. No deferments.
Third ones drafted, sons of the teapubs. No excuses. No deferments.
Fourth ones drafted, all bloggers and pundits that call anyone else chickens, draft dodgers, cut and run, anti-American, unpatriotic, etc., Time THEY put their money where their mouth is. If they ain't old enough to serve, let them be taxed to pay for it. Double.
Mission, get the teapubs to put THEIR money and children where their mouth is. They want war, their children serve first, on the ground in the actual war and their money pays for it.
Pay for it by taxing everyone that votes for it in Congress double what they SHOULD be paying in taxes.
And last but not least, if Congress or anyone else in government sends our sons and daughters into harms way under-armored, under-geared and not prepared with the weapons and tools necessary to WIN, they should be brought up on charges of treason.
That should keep us out of war for a little while.
The Olypics is in London for one, and have you seen how much tickets are???? It's even by event! I'll pass, the T.V. will do just fine.
Wrong link for the article re empty seats at the Olympics...
Cheney pushing the Bush Era foreign policy objectives, oh goody! And the Mittster sounding like he's ready to launch another un-funded war, this time with Iran. I'm sure he's planning to outsource it. Cheney's old firm is drooling over the prospect.
Stupid IOC rules excluding the reigning world champion in women's gymnastics from competing because she is ranked Number 3 in qualifying - and even though by tiny fractions she is number 3 in the world by today's scoring, a gymnast from Botswana gets to compete.
Morning!!! Sup.
Exactly what the President has been saying for how long now? This campaign still astounds me daily.
I truly believe that Cheney does not want Obama in office because of his skin color. I truly believe all Republicans can't stand the fact that Obama is a smart, sensitive individual and is truly for the people. That is why, in my opinion, believe that these private donors are giving Mitt the Twit all this money, yet they do not believe in him or his views. We must stick together and vote for the one who is going to continue helping the middle class and poor.
Let's discuss the capital of Israel. Romney's not wrong from what I see. Israel considers Jerusalum to be their capital. Why the question?
Tel Aiv is the official capital of Israel not Jerusalem. It can be argued that Jerusalem is the spiritual capital. Romney should know the difference.
Wikipedia lists Jerusalem is Israel's capital. Tel Aviv's website says nothing about it being the seat of government. I read that outside of Israel, there is confusion because embassies are in Tel Aviv.
I think Romney's right (& I very rarely say that).
