Will O.J. Simpson Confess to Oprah?

Last week, Oprah declared that she dreams of O.J. Simpson confessing to her on her newish (and struggling) OWN channel. "I am going to make that happen, people," she said. "I don't just want the interview. I want the interview on the condition that you are ready, Mr. Simpson." Apparently, when you're Oprah, all you have to do is say something, out loud, and it comes true, because Simpson has reportedly agreed to confess to Oprah, according to the National Enquirer. The tabloid reports that Simpson recently fessed up to one of Oprah's producers from prison, where he's currently serving a nine-year sentence for armed robbery, and intends to do the same to Oprah. Simpson reportedly claimed to the producer that while he did kill Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman (mystery solved!) he did it in self-defense. And however full of shit that explanation sounds, is there anyone who wouldn't tune in to watch it. 

Believe it or not I didn't add the last sentence.

PS: I thought he was going to say they drowned in the swimming pool.

A person's bias is based on facts, but prejudice occurs without a person knowing or examining the facts. This my friends is the liberal doctrine.

When did ignorance become a point of view?

War seen through the eyeballs of liberals. A total one sided hypocrisy. 

Ah…. where is Cindy Sheehan after stalking W at the ranch? Has she seen the light and turned conservative? My guess is no. Is Code Pink in retirement? Hollywood gone to sleep? Blood for oil evaporate?  Even Senator Messiah joined the bandwagon. 

Bush... Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The Messiah ditto... and throw in Libya.

Obama Reportedly Sided Against 2 Top Administration Lawyers in Libya War Debate

President Obama decided he had the legal authority to continue the U.S. military campaign in Libya without congressional approval over the objections of Justice Department and Pentagon lawyers, according to The New York Times.

Instead, the president sided with other senior administration lawyers who said that continuing U.S. participation in the air operations against the regime of Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi did not constitute "hostilities," triggering the need for Congressional permission under the War Powers Resolution, the New York Times reported in its online edition Friday night.

Among those reported to support the president's action were White House counsel Robert Bauer and State Department legal adviser Harold H. Koh, the paper said. Those opposed included Pentagon General Counsel Jeh C. Johnson and acting head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel Caroline D. Krass.

One issue was reported to be whether firing missiles from drones amounted to hostilities.

Presidents can ignore the advice of the Office of Legal Counsel, but rarely do so, the newspaper reported.

The 1973 law prohibits the military from being involved in actions for more than 60 days without congressional authorization, plus a 30-day extension. The 60-day deadline passed last month with the White House saying it is in compliance with the law. The 90-day mark is Sunday.

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that he found it "interesting that in early April the president touted the Office of Legal Counsel's legal opinion on actions in Libya, and now that the opinion doesn't fit his agenda, he chooses to ignore them."

"If dropping bombs and firing missiles on military installations are not hostilities, I don't know what is," he said. "The president's actions on Libya are nothing short of bizarre."

White House chief spokesman Jay Carney addressed the internal debate over the resolution at his briefing Thursday.

He said "there was a robust process through which the president received the advice he relied on in determining the application" of the War Powers Resolution.

He noted the resolution has been subject to intense debate since it was first enacted in 1973.

"We are not going to get into the internal process by which the president receives legal advice," Carney said. "It should come as no surprise that there would be some disagreements, even within an administration, regarding the application of a statute that is nearly 40 years old to a unique and evolving conflict. Those disagreements are ordinary and healthy."

Is Holder the next one to go?

Contempt charge from House for Holder over Fast & Furious?

They sent over 1800 guns to Mexico then tried to blame Americans who own gun shops for the resulting violence!

Today the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee meets to hold hearings into Operation Fast and Furious and Project Gunrunner, the ATF's secret project to track gun running in Mexico by, er, running guns in Mexico. The operation cost the lives of two American agents, and chair Darrell Issa wants to know who authorized it, what involvement ATF Director Kenneth Melson and Attorney General Eric Holder had in approving and/or overseeing the operation, and what kinds of internal objections were ignored in implementing it. The Obama administration has refused to provide documents subpoenaed by Issa and Oversight, which means that the House may issue contempt citations against Melson and Holder for their intransigence.

Brian Terry killed by a gun traced back to Operation Fast and Furious

This is definitely worth a look.

Is he lying? You be the judge.

How high does this go? Barack Obama insists that he knew nothing of either operation, and Holder has denied prior knowledge of it as well. If that's true, then why not provide the Oversight committee the documentation they requested? After all, executive privilege wouldn't apply if Obama knew nothing of the operation. We'll see if the White House wants to engage in a fight over a contempt citation, and if they do, it will show that they think that path is less damaging than the transparency Obama insists that his administration provides.

Operation Fast and Furious... and the president and the head of the DOJ claim they know nothing about it. 

That is a disgrace even if it were true!

Release of Sarah Palin emails angers American conservatives

What are we the Soviet Union?

Mike Oreskes, senior managing editor for national news at Associated Press, one of the organisations that put in the original freedom of information request for the emails, justified the move by saying Palin was a public figure who maintained a high profile and may run for president. "We are pressing to obtain the records of other presidential contenders in the months ahead."

Really!

What he forgot to add...as long as they're Republican contenders.

Where was the GD indispensable freedom of information act when it came  to laying bare... the mysterious one... Barack Hussein Obama? Birth certificate, college transcripts, his entire life shrouded in mystery. How would you like to see 24,000 of his emails. How many were sent to Soros, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and of course the infamous Rev Wright. 


Raise your hand if you would like to see the emails exchanged by the NLRB and the Messiah concerning the opening of a Boeing plant in S.C. 

Imagine

The Clintons..... 24,000 emails.

Even their liberal pals could't save them.

They both would be behind bars.

Somewhere I can just see Vince Foster smiling. 

Life is so much easier when you have the MSM in your back pocket.

The release of the Sarah Palin emails has provoked a backlash from grassroots conservatives accusing major US newspapers and the Guardian of engaging in a vendetta against the former Alaska governor and possible presidential candidate.

More than 24,000 emails from her time as governor were made public on Friday under freedom of information.

Conservatives bombarded newspapers, rightwing websites and other media outlets with complaints that Palin had been singled out for special treatment and that other politicians were not being subjected to the same level of scrutiny, in particular Barack Obama.

Greta Van Susteren, a Fox News journalist and one of the few members of the media trusted by Palin, labelled the treatment of Palin "a media colonoscopy" and suggested some news organisations were on "a mission to destroy".

That view was shared by her blog-readers, one of whom wrote: "What a sad time in America when a good, decent God-loving, America-loving and family-loving person is under attack by so called journalists."

The emails have produced fresh insights into Palin's character and leadership while governor of Alaska but no revelations so far that would damage a bid for the Republican nomination for the presidential race.

Palin said last week she was still considering whether to seek the Republican nomination for the 2012 White House race.

The media's intensive coverage of the emails appears to have hardened the view of her supporters that she is being victimised.

One reader writing to the Washington Post said the coverage had gone too far. "Sarah Palin simply never did anything to deserve this! Shame on the media that are behind this!" she wrote.

A conservative blogsite, Gateway Pundit, attracted a large amount on traffic on the issue, mainly complaining that Obama was not receiving the same treatment from the media. "Wow, if only the media had been this diligent in vetting Obama before the 2008 election," one reader wrote. Another said: "Just when you thought the NYT and WaPo couldn't prove themselves to be any more than partisan leftist rags, they surprise you again."

Mike Oreskes, senior managing editor for national news at Associated Press, one of the organisations that put in the original freedom of information request for the emails, justified the move by saying Palin was a public figure who maintained a high profile and may run for president. "We are pressing to obtain the records of other presidential contenders in the months ahead."
