‘Delusional’ Hillary Clinton says businesses, corporations don’t create jobs
http://twitter.com/#!/kesgardner/status/525771001066295297
Don’t tell anyone this, but there are some rumors in certain circles that Hillary Clinton might be considering a run for president in 2016. Speaking at an event in Massachusetts today, the former secretary of state seemed to be trying to head off possible competitor Elizabeth Warren by hijacking her line that it’s not corporations and businesses that create jobs.
For those who just can’t stomach 65 seconds of video of Clinton right now, she tells the audience, “Don’t let anybody tell you that, you know, it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”
They come from raising the minimum wage, silly.
Has she ever?
Planet Hillary?
Star Jones talks down against ‘post slavery syndrome mindset’
http://twitter.com/#!/StarJonesEsq/status/194902097169350656
Star Jones, previous host associated with the see, had lunch with Beverly Bond, DJ and founder of Ebony Girls Rock!, about “the picture of women of shade within the media.”
After the meal, she published these tweets:
It might be "comfortable" is peaceful when women of color slap the crap out-of one another & find tables barefoot, but #ENOUGHisENOUGH.
— Celebrity Jones (@StarJonesEsq) April 24, 2012
Laying with a guy that has fathered kiddies with FIVE, SIX, SEVEN other women…is simply RIDICULOUS. #ENOUGHisENOUGH
— Celebrity Jones (@StarJonesEsq) April 24, 2012
After that we now have songs filled up with misogyny, self-hate & WOMEN calling THEMSELVES Bs & Hs & white rappers are using the N word. #ENOUGHisENOUGH
— Celebrity Jones (@StarJonesEsq) April 24, 2012
We came ultimately back from lunch w/ @BEVERLYBOND prepared to only work up because small black colored girls deserve a lot more than exactly what we're providing! #ENOUGHisENOUGH
— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) April 24, 2012
Label me personally a "truth teller.">RT @ShakeNBayke: @StarJonesEsq Careful…you might labeled a "hater"…smh…

Reading the self-hating remarks congratulating ignorance for "KEEPING IT REAL." RT @lov3lylina85: what made u feel #enoughisenough??
— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) April 24, 2012
It sickens me @lov3lylina85 whenever young sis believe behavior is appropriate. U can't get a proper JOB acting like an animal. #ENOUGHisENOUGH
— Celebrity Jones (@StarJonesEsq) April 24, 2012
THIS. #ENOUGHisENOUGH.>RT @lov3lylina85: @StarJonesEsq why don't u call-it just what it is modern minstrel shows and buffoonary
— Celebrity Jones (@StarJonesEsq) April 24, 2012
I'm asking all my much talked about, system having conscientious siblings just who ARE A SYMBOL OF SOMETHING to simply say #ENOUGHisENOUGH & telephone call people away!
— Celebrity Jones (@StarJonesEsq) April 24, 2012
Ms. Jones’ tweets echo Bill Cosby’s famous “Pound Cake” speech into NAACP in 2004, calling for blacks to keep themselves and kids accountable for their actions. It’s refreshing to know any celebrity talk these types of good sense (but unfortunate that it’s so newsworthy and remarkable).
Personal responsibility and stability tend to be targets we have to all strive for, and kudos to Jones for distributing such an important message.

Joe Biden gets ‘bitter clinger’: O-care website will be fixed ‘God willing’
http://twitter.com/#!/PhilCooke/status/402541263808761856
The Almighty might not appreciate being dragged into the mess that is the Obamacare rollout, but Joe Biden has promised that HealthCare.gov would be repaired with some help from on high. Today, according to a pool report, Biden made God part of the administration’s “tech surge”:

CNN’s Don Lemon asks if Islam may be ‘more violent’ than other faiths
http://twitter.com/#!/WaynesterAtl/status/508039282494566401
We thought we had settled this back in 2010, when PBS’ Tavis Smiley revealed to Ayaan Hirsi Ali that Christians commit terrorist acts “every single day in this country.” Maybe Christians aren’t the most violent of religions, though. Thursday, CNN’s Don Lemon asked his panel, “Is Islam a more violent religion than other faiths?”
As the Daily Caller, which has video of the segment, reports, only Islamic Monthly editor Arsalan Iftikhar disagreed, citing Christian bombings of gay nightclubs and abortion clinics in the United States as proof.
So, let’s settle this: is Islam a more violent religion than other faiths?

These People Have Volunteered To Live And Die On Mars
They are on the short list of finalists for the Mars One project.
1. In 2012, Mars One announced plans to colonize Mars. This mini-doc from The Guardian and Stateless Media takes a very personal look at three individuals willing to give up everything to explore life, and ultimately death, on Mars.

Over 200,000 people applied for a seat on the four-person spaceship set to travel to Mars in 2024. There are currently 660 finalists. The mission is a one-way trip, and those who are selected to go will never return to Earth. Meet three of the finalists hoping to make the historic journey, and hear their fascinating stories and very personal reasons for wanting to be a part of this epic adventure.
3. Ryan, a physics student from the UK
“I think the most important thing to do in life is to leave a legacy. A lot of people do that by, say, having a child or having a family. For me, this would be my legacy. To try and find if there’s life on Mars, to inspire a new generation, to lead to the beginnings of the first civilization on another planet. That is my legacy.”
The Guardian / Via youtube.com
4. Dina, an Iraqi-American computer science graduate
“If I ever made it to Mars, it’s gonna be the same experience as me coming to the United States. Going back is not an option, never. I don’t feel like I need a family to be able to survive and exist.”
The Guardian / Via youtube.com
5. Jeremias, a young doctor from Mozambique
“I think this world is not a good place to live anymore. We have so many disease, we have so many Army conflicts, we have natural disasters, we have inequities. We have so many problems that I believe it is not possible to solve. I would like to see a better world comparing to this one and I think a good way to solve those problems is to start from the beginning.”
The Guardian / Via youtube.com
6. And what about the loved ones that get left behind?
“One can think he’s committing suicide, but it’s not suicide. Quite the contrary, he goes there because it is God’s mission. It is humanity’s mission.”
The Guardian / Via youtube.com
7. Ryan’s grandfather:
“If it does come to that moment, then I will tell him how much I love him. I will certainly cuddle him, I will kiss him. Then I will tell him to enjoy his life and never, ever forget how much he’s loved.”
The Guardian / Via youtube.com
8. Some might call these volunteers noble, some might say they are crazy, but there is no denying the bravery it takes to step up for a mission into the unknown.
11. Ryan
“Being able to think and look back and knowing that it mattered what I did – in the end, that makes it worthwhile to me.”
