| A little more than a week ago, during an interview with Politico, Bob Woodward came forward to claim he’d been threatened in an email by a “senior White House official” for daring to reveal certain details about the negotiations over the budget sequester. The White House responded by releasing the email exchange Woodward was referring to, which turned out to be nothing more than a cordial exchange between the reporter and Obama’s economic adviser, Gene Sperling, who was clearly implying nothing more than that Woodward would “regret” taking a position that would soon be shown to be false.

Comments:
The Long March to Get Woodward for exposing the Obama myth continue apace. The JournOList listserv is still active and marching orders have been given.

When people know each other, they know each other. If my wife tells me I will regret something I have done, I know I am in big trouble. "Cordial" would not be the adjective of choice.

´Regret´, eh?
Reminds me of one of the opening scenes in the movie ´The Untouchables´:
Two thugs walk into a small mom-and-pop store. They say "Nice little shop you got here, Mrs. Kowalski. It would be too bad if it was to BURN DOWN."
The lady didn´t pick up on their tone and said "Oh, that´s not a problem. My husband just had sprinklers installed last week."
The thugs look at each other and repeat their earlier statement, louder.
The lady´s eyes get big as she catches on that she is to pay protection money so that the thugs won´t fire-bomb her store. She would ´regret´ not paying off the thugs...

Bethany Hamilton is getting married! The championship surfer, who lost her arm at age 13 in a shark attack, shared the happy news on her blog Wednesday. In a post titled "In Love," Hamilton, 23, describes her fiancé Adam. "The first thing we did was jump off a cliff together!" she writes, adding their first meeting last spring was something of a blind date. On April 9, Adam proposed. Hamilton does not provide her fiancé´s last name on her blog, though the Christian Today identifies him Adam Dirks. "I know Adam and I are right for each other

Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he´s headed to Brazil and Colombia as the Obama administration ramps up its engagement with Latin America.

The trip had not yet been announced by Biden´s office, but his aides have since released more details on the travel, which will begin on May 26. He also mentioned that leaders from Peru and Chile will visit Washington in June, and that even more leaders plan trips for this fall.

The news that three female kidnapping victims had been held against their will for roughly a decade each has shocked Cleveland and the nation. But such cases are not without precedent. Elizabeth Smart, of Utah, was kidnapped at knife point at age 14 in 2002, sexually assaulted and held captive for nine months by a street preacher; Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped in South Lake Tahoe by a couple in 1981, when she was 11, and held for 18 years in tents and a shack in their back yard. Both Smart and Dugard said Tuesday that the three women,

The US currently imports more than 80% of the lithium it uses, with the silvery metal winding up in batteries from cell phones to electric cars. According to a United States Geological Survey publication on lithium, “The only commercially active lithium mine in the United States was a brine operati on in Nevada. The mine’s production capacity was expanded in 2012, and a new lithium hydroxide plant opened in North Carolina. Two companies produced a large array of downstream lithium compounds in the United States from domestic or South American lithium carbonate, lithium chloride, and lithium hydroxide.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Nelia Arellano survived a nightmare when she escaped a fire inside a limo that claimed the lives of five of her friends. As thick black smoke and flames swallowed the car, Arellano pushed panic aside to do what others couldn´t or wouldn´t. "We saw smoke at the back of the car where one of our friends was sitting," Arellano, 36, told ABC7 News. "All of us probably move to the front towards the front because the fire came from the back." Arellano says she was knocked on the partition that separated her and her girlfriends from the driver.

This movie has it all: Shia LaBeouf without any giant clanging robots to distract you from the Shianess of his LaBeoufitude! Robert Redford at his leatheriest yet! A story ripped from the headlines of 30-40 years ago! This flick is gonna make a ton of money. What’s that you say, Box Office Mojo? Ouch. Well, that was awfully bad luck, premiering a movie about a “well-intentioned” terrorist right after the Boston Marathon bombing. Suddenly, all the romance and glamour went right out of blowing people to bits. Bad luck, Bob.

CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuela brushed off criticism from President Barack Obama on Sunday and maintained its accusation that an American detainee in Caracas is a spy pretending to be a filmmaker. During his visit to Latin America, Obama said on Saturday the allegations against Tim Tracy, 35, were "ridiculous." This came a day after Venezuela´s new socialist leader, Nicolas Maduro, labeled Obama "the grand chief of devils." Venezuelan Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres insisted that intelligence agents tracking Tracy since late 2012 had uncovered ample evidence he was plotting with militant anti-government factions to destabilize Venezuela with violence.

The first couple of evenings there was just me and a middle-aged couple swimming decorously up and down. On the third day it changed. There were three more people, spread out at the shallow end. You would not have thought that an extra three people in a decent-sized pool could have caused such irritation and havoc. They contrived to occupy an inordinate amount of space and move around in a way that caused maximum disruption. Sometimes they swam widths; sometimes diagonals. They would stop and change direction without warning.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Colombian ex-president Alvaro Uribe was plotting to kill him, adding to a deluge of accusations by the former bus driver in recent months. "Uribe is behind a plot to kill me," Maduro said in a televised speech. "Uribe is a killer. I have enough evidence of who is conspiring, and there are sectors of the Venezuelan right that are involved." He did not provide details. The Venezuelan president, who was elected in April by a narrow margin, earlier this year accused the United States of seeking

Politics: President Obama is winning cheers in Mexico this week on the feel-good issues of trade and immigration. Unaddressed is a more urgent issue — Mexico´s lack of coop eration with the U.S. in its war on cartels. This deserves far greater attention than it´s getting, given that Mexico, beneath the happy handshakes, is pretty much kicking critical U.S. forces out of the country. According to a report in Sunday´s New York Times, Mexico has stopped sending its high-ranking officers to the U.S. to be polygraphed, a key way to weed out corrupted officials from high office.

Demagoguery: President Obama blew another dog whistle to Big Labor this week with his proclamation of "Workers Memorial Day" a renewed effort to demonize business and replace it with bigger government. Coming just before the communist international May Day, "Workers Memorial Day" was a 1984 invention of Canada´s public employee unions to promote unionization by politicizing the death of anyone killed in a workplace accident no matter what the cause, making business the bad guy. Obama moved right into the character of this on April 27, issuing a far more militant

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Mayor Mike McGinn is expected to announce Tuesday that they´ll be melted into bricks carrying messages of peace, and the bricks will be placed around the city. The buyback program was announced a month after last December´s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., by city leaders sick of hearing about gun violence.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

Ahead of the Benghazi hearings in which three witnesses are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade invited Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
