Because a video showing Israelis calling Barack Obama a ‘fucking nigger’ after his Cairo speech can be censored by the Huffington Post because it isn’t ‘news’, but this is:

What do a 15 year old girl and Alex Rodriguez have in common?
They both want to suck Derek Jeter’s cock.
I wanted to clarify some of my points from a previous post on Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and the torture scandal.
My main problem with the discussion about the possible CIA consultation of Nancy Pelosi is a consultation on torture techniques does not implicate her. Spending the first six years of Bush’s presidency being a mere shill for hardline AIPAC policies while clapping like a nervous Politburo member for the worst of Bush’s war crimes does implicate her. A meeting does not define her record, rather, her record is defined by refusing to mount serious opposition to Bush’s absolutely devastating economic and foreign policy.
As such, she is as guilty as Bush or any member of his administration in aiding and abetting torture and war crimes. Nancy Pelosi should step down for being an inept and ineffectual leader who acted as a silent partner to the worst excesses of the Bush administration, not for a one hour briefing from the CIA.

On the revelation that Nancy Pelosi was possibly consulted about torture techniques, namely waterboarding, by the Central Intelligence Agency as early as 2002, one thing has confounded me: Would you be so surprised if she had and do you really feel baffled that she has no desire to pursue serious investigations into torture allowed under the Bush administration?
Pelosi and Harry Reid spent 2000 to 2006 cheering on the ‘War on Terror’ and giving a blank check to Bush’s wars. They then spent the election campaign of 2006 promising to end the Iraq war, halt the Bush tax cuts, and investigate torture and other Bush administration practices. So, it’s 2009, and what exactly have they exactly accomplished with 3 years of a Democrat majority? We’re still in Iraq, we’re still in Afghanistan, AIPAC still controls America’s destiny on Iran, Joe Lieberman is still a Democrat, the Patriot Act is not repealed, and Obama embraces the executive power to spy on citizens.
There’s a reason there will never be a serious and thorough investigation of Bush era war crimes: Pelosi, Reid, and a majority of the Democrats spent 8 years being de facto accomplices of some of Bush’s worst crimes. They supported the Iraq War, they supported the Patriot Act, and they supported the warrantless wiretaps. The Congressional Democrats had the power to say something and do something, and they did neither for 8 years of the worst Presidency in American history. And that’s a legacy they have no desire to bring up in the future.

Let’s get this straight: the US government through the funds of the American taxpayer have given GM over $10 billion in bailout funds (lower range estimate). In turn, General Motors is closing over 1,100 of it’s dealerships and plans to move factories to China to export cars to United States.
Did the United States government just pay over 10 billion dollars to General Motors to close 20% of it’s American dealerships and outsource American jobs to China? What kind of fucking investment is that?
