| Even though she was sat next to Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi listening to her boss, the President of the United States give a historic speech, Hilary Clinton just couldn´t keep her jet-lagged eyes open. As Barack Obama made history on Monday by becoming the first American president to ever visit Myanmar, the Secretary of State simply seemed too tired to appreciate the momentous occasion. Despite sitting next to former political prisoner Suu Kyi, who spent 15 years under home arrest and who presumably knows a thing or two about boredom, Clinton, 65, could not be roused

The hag has never been attractive and she is really a sad sack now and wearing her hair in a pony tail is absurd and way too
young for anyone her age.

Another droning speech by Barky is enough to put even the most staunch of Stalinist supporters asleep.
Note to PIAPS: Drop the liquor bottle and pickup the shampoo bottle...it will do wonders for your ´look´.

She was always lazy with grooming. Check the photos of her college and Arkansas days. She had groomers and dressers from the time Slick was campainging all through the white house years. She also had some dental work and a little face surgery here and there. Now she is old and her hateful personality is showing through.

PS. Re #9, Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue, took her in hand and did a makeover during one of Bubba´s campaigns. Weight loss, hair styling, makeup, clothes. The works. Alas, imposed regimens never last.

The insurgent leader, who has not been named for operational reasons, commanded seven groups of Taliban fighters and bombers across southern Afghanistan. The dawn raid, carried out with Afghan forces, took place in the Marjah region near Nad-e-Ali, close to the British base in Lashkar Gah. It is believed the Taliban leader, who sources confirmed had regularly travelled between Helmand and Pakistan, had been hunted for a year after being linked to at least three other attacks.

Citing defense ministry sources in Seoul, Yonhap said the missiles had crashed into the Sea of Japan, off the eastern coast of the Korean peninsula. Two rockets were launched this morning while a third was launched in the afternoon, Yonhap said. Early South Korean media reports suggested “shore-based anti-ship” missiles had been fired. Such tests are not unusual in North Korea. In March, a similar launch was carried out with two short-range missiles taking off from the country’s eastern coast. The Tokyo-based news agency, Kyodo, reported the missiles had not fallen into Japanese waters. Yonhap said South Korea had “beefed

You certainly wouldn´t want these ants in your pants. A species of ants, nicknamed ´crazy´ by researchers because they are prone to sporadic movements has descended upon the Southeastern region of the country, particularly in coastal areas with warmer temperatures and has wreaked havoc on yards and homes. ´Crazy´ ants are known scientifically as ´Nylanderia fulva´ and are native to Argentina and Brazil, they are also referred to as ´rasberry´ after the exterminator Tom Rasberry who discovered them in Houston in 2002. The ´crazy´ ants do not have such a painful sting as their insect counterparts, they are still a

People are often called heroes these days without deserving the description. But one who does is Sir Nicholas Winton, who tomorrow celebrates his 104th birthday. As Neil Tweedie reports, this unassuming man characteristically does not want a fuss made either of his great age or of his illustrious past. He is uncomfortable being referred to as the British Oskar Schindler. Yet his achievements warrant the plaudits. In 1939, it was through his efforts that hundreds of predominantly Jewish children living in Czechoslovakia were evacuated to Britain, thereby escaping the Holocaust. Sir Nicholas’s pivotal role in what became known as

Some 10,000 years ago, somewhere in the Middle East’s fertile crescent, happenstance sowed the seeds of much of modern agriculture. Pollen from a wild goat grass landed on primitive wheat, creating a natural--but stronger and more productive--hybrid. [Snip] Now scientists at Britain’s National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB) have deliberately duplicated that ancient accident, with a different goat grass, in an attempt to restart--and enormously accelerate--the process with new genes. Early indications are that this could increase wheat yields by a dramatic 30 percent. The National Farmers’ Union president, Peter Kendall, describes the potential as “just enormous”.

A theater critic is unrepentant after he quite literally took the law into his own hands and smashed the cellphone of another patron who refused to stop using it during a performance on Wednesday night. Kevin Williamson, a writer for the National Review, was attending a performance of ´Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812,´ described as an ‘electro-pop opera’ based on ‘War and Peace’ and playing in New York at Kazino, a temporary structure beside The Standard Hotel. Writing about the incident on the National Review’s website, Williamson said he recommended the show but thought the audience

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
