There is so much news out there that I’d like to bring to your attention today.

1. Obama goes on with his indecision on the war to do nothing and hope it goes away. By telling commanders that none of the options presented to him work.

2. Lou Dobbs (one of the few independent and non-liberal voices at CNN) is leaving CNN to pursue other options.

3. Remember when they said they were not going to raise taxes on middle class? Yeah scratch that, they were only kidding.

4. Jobless claims lower than expected.  That’s the best spin they can do that Americans are still loosing jobs and unemployment is still growing even during the Christmas hiring season.

5. “Saved” 650,000 jobs.  647,500 jobs. Sprint to can 2500 employees because of low subscriber rates.  Here’s a nifty idea – don’t be asshats to your customers.  You could also see about allowing jail broken iphones on your systems (but that might take a technology shift).  But people with AT&T are jumping at the chance to leave the expensive contracts.

6. In happier, trying to get you to spend money news – Target is announcing an insane black friday sale with 32″ HDTV for 246 bucks and $3 toasters. Really it’s just a toaster that you can burn your dollars for heat since the government is printing them enough to be kindle for fire.

7. And talking about currency.  Apparently the world is running out of gold.  Expect the price of gold to continue to climb.

8. “Saved” 647,500 jobs.  647,420 jobs. Al Gore’s Current Media company is cutting 80 jobs. See even global warming couldn’t save ole’ Al.

9. Atlas Shrugged to come to the big screen? Who is John Galt? But seriously Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are the ones behind the picture? Wow.

10. And lastly Obama hates the jews.  Ok maybe not, but he’s standing more with anti-Israel than he is pro-Israel when it comes to the west-bank settlements.

So what do you guys think about this whole Israel-Hezbollah thing? Personally, I’m thinking this is a good thing. Not in a War is good type of thing, but a “thank god someone else in the Arab world is finnally addressing the same people we’ve been dealing with.” Meaning it takes the heat of the US that another country is dealing with Iran/Syria backed militants. Are you aware how technologically advanced the IDF is?

What are your thoughts?

Just as the Iraq Constitution’s first draft has passed the US reached 2000 Casualties. But as others in the miliary have stated this number is so that people like Cindy Sheheen, and the rest of the complete nut cases can use it for their own purposes. She cares little for those 2000 people that have died, she only cares about the limelight.

Lt. Col. Steven Boylan, chief spokesman for the U.S. military in Iraq, blasted media coverage for focusing on the 2,000 figure, saying that “the true milestones of this war are rarely covered or discussed.”

“The 2,000 service members killed in Iraq supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom is not a milestone,” he said. “It is an artificial mark on the wall set by individuals or groups with specific agendas and ulterior motives.”

Its a shame that people are touting this around like a badge of honor, a “milestone”. It actually makes me sick.
