Before we get the gears rolling with your regularly scheduled programming this Monday, let's first start by giving a quick shout out to Paul McCartney. The former Beatle turns 70 today, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. He just played at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, he's set to close the opening ceremony at the London Olympics and he even appears on Jimmy Fallon's new CD. Happy B-day, Macca!

Unbelievable, two simmering scandals with Obama's Attorney General under the gun by Congress last week with movement to hold him in Contempt of Congress for his stonewalling on the issues of providing information on his knowledge and his agencies responsibility for the Gun Trade "Fast and Furious" program. And not a word on that, MSNBC.
Then, comes Homeland Security Committee Chairman Independent Senator Joseph Liberman joining other Republicans and Democrats calling for a Special Prosecutor to be appointed to examine the leaks of vital anti-terrorism information from the highest levels of the US Government's National Security operations, and the speculation that the trail will lead to the White House and the drive at all costs to make of President Obama a successful relection candidate, and that call so far falling on the big but deaf ears of our President. And afgain, not a word on that from MSNBC. Why can this network call itself a Cable "News" Network if they continue to filter out anything that might be seen to be detrimental to Obama's chances in November?
I see you still have left that highly offending photo of terrorists displaying a look alike of George W. Bush's head on a spike...which you obviouly chose to feature as a post just as Obama returned to running against Bush again as his favorite target, and the excuse he provides as to his failures on keeping his promises to 1) cut the deficit in half by the end of his 1st term, when in fact, he increased it treamendously, 2) cut the unemployment rate to 6% (the nominal (not the true) unemployment rate is 8.2% and hasn't been under 8% for all of the stimulus programs of the Obama Administration and growth of federal deficits each year, adding over $5 Trillion to our nations debt in just 3&1/2 years.
GET A LIFE, MSNBC! AND GET THAT OFFENDING PHOTO OFF THIS WEBSITE OR RISK THE CONSEQUENCES!
