| WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Friday nominated Sen. John Kerry as his next secretary of state, elevating the longtime lawmaker and foreign policy expert to the top diplomatic job he had coveted.“He is not going to need a lot of on-the-job training,” Obama said, standing alongside Kerry at the White House. “Few individuals know as many presidents and prime ministers or grasp our policies as firmly as John Kerry.”

She couldn´t attend a day or so after skipping out on the Benghazi hearings,they had to release the whitewash report first so she can parade around all exonerated from any wrongdoing.
I just heard Stevens sent requests directly to the WH for more security but somehow these demonic and twisted people have wound up blaming the victim himself because he know the dangers of the area.

Newsflash for AP; that´s not the only thing she didn´t do in the last four years. In fact, the accumulation of frequent flier miles is probably her only accomplishment.

As for the PIAPS she couldn´t be bothered. She´s busy trying keep her linen clean from the Benghazi fiasco.

A feeble attempt to forget for a moment the grim news from last week:
Song Parody
Kerry under fire at his Senate hearing, cribbing from that great sixties songbird Brenda Lee and her smash hit, ´´I’m Sorry.´´
I’m Kerry, a cherry For being such a tool and siding with Ho; It just seemed so cool Now uh-oh, uh-oh.
You know that I lied ‘Cause I thought we were wrong, But now I can say ´´To Hell with the Cong.´´
I’m sKerry, so sKerry, Please accept my botoxicology Vast fissures, deep-lined left scores on my mind; I’d a face like a hind, I begged, ´´God strike me blind,´´ Then lashed out at my kind.
I’m rueful, so rueful, Please forgive my disloyalty. How could I know I’d be up for State? Have the chance to make headway With the tree-huggers’ slate? (I´m sKerry)

#6 has a great point about the time to "sanitize" the records.
I don´t say anything about Kerry´s wife because George Washington also married his money (most of it). However, Washington was a man of character. He managed his wife´s estate and was a father to her children. Through both their efforts, the Washington´s financed the American revolution. TeRAYsah, on the other hand, funds the destruction of everything that George and Martha worked and fought for by her massive support of the Tides Foundation which funnels money to left-wing organizations set on the destruction of the American system and of capitalism.
Kerry should have been tried as a traitor when he was in his twenties. For presidents and military commanders to overlook and "forgive" such acts (as Jimmah Carter did in his self-righteous foolishness) is to allow such butt-boils to fester and grow until someday they become secretary of state (or President).

FTA: “John’s entire life has prepared him for this role” said Obama, who praised Kerry for his belief that the country must harness “all elements of Americans power.”
This statement sums up Kerry´s qualifications. All who work for Obama must understand that HE is the power; the United States, not so much. Kerry will carry that message with pride. Before Obama and his crew of anti-Americans are through, we will be so weakened on the world´s stage that we will have little influence and that is just the way the progressives planned it.

Would anyone really want to see John Murtha as Secretary of State? (yes I know he is now a good democRat). How about Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore or Bill Maher? Well Monsieur Kerry is in the same not-so-swift boat as these morons if you will recall his famous statement: "You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don´t, you get stuck in Iraq." Yup. Only a statement like this could come from the phoniest guy in recent history who picked a fight with a rice bunker and wound up getting Forrest Gumped in the @ss! Kerry as Secretary of State: Because the world just isn´t laughing at us enough already!

The Piaps lays low for a while to wash her Benghazi laundry and get ready for 2016. Holdie keeps Fast and Furious (Mexico and Benghazi) out of sight.

Terrazzo married a genuine Republican Senator John Heinz. She is the one who married money and then defiles her husbands memory by using HIS moneymtomfund Tides and every left leaning anti-American cause that her treasonous Gigalo personifies. He is the best traitor money can buy. Query: do John Heinz´s children realize that their mother defiles his memory every day with her marriage and her support of leftist causes? Didn´t Kerry go from sleeping on friends couches to many mansions rather quickly after Sen, Heinz´s suspicious accident? Opportunistic fraud.

By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now. Look at movies like "Warm Bodies" and the coming "World War Z," the ratings for AMC´s hit series "The Walking Dead" (12.9 million viewers for its recent season finale) and $2.5 billion in annual sales for zombie videogames. Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released. A glance at Google GOOG -1.51%Trends reveals that in the past few years, interest in flesh-eating ghouls has far outstripped popular enthusiasm for vampires, wizards and hobbits.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

This country is an embarrassment. We can’t do anything right, least of all corruption. Look, when Venezuela’s populist demagogue Hugo Chavez died, word was he’d somehow accumulated an estate worth $2 billion. In the old days when the PRI party ruled Mexico uninterruptedly, every president got a single six-year term — and promptly retired at its close as a billionaire.And that was when a billion was real money.

Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather. It’s enough to make one doubt the “settled science” of the government-funded doom-sayers.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

WASHINGTON — A photo of the Obamas hugging that was released on Election Day 2012 has become the world´s most popular tweet on Twitter. A dressed-up version of Barack Obama´s State of the Union speech, packed with charts and graphs, is huge on YouTube. A playful picture of the president cavorting with a 3-year-old in a Spiderman costume is a favorite online. It´s all courtesy of the Obama image machine, serving up a stream of words, images and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding,compassionate and on the ball. In this world, Obama's family is always photogenic, first dog Bo is always well-behaved and the vegetables in the South Lawn kitchen garden always seem succulent.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- At 11:46 p.m. CT on Friday at Cowboys Stadium, a group of Florida fans rose from their seats and began a rather sobering chant. “Al-most mid-night!,” they yelled. “Al-most mid-night!” Standing on the nearby court, Florida Gulf Coast’s players could only hang their heads. The clock was about to strike 12 on one of the better Cinderella stories in NCAA tournament history. The first No. 15 seed ever to advance to the Sweet 16 finally came off its cloud in a 62-50 loss to Florida. “We made history,” guard Brett Comer said.

If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
