Resolution to rebuke President Obama for Bergdahl/Taliban swap
http://twitter.com/#!/ChadPergram/status/508991070936776704
The House Rules Committee met today to prepare a resolution that would rebuke President Obama for arranging the prisoner swap of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban prisoners. A vote on the resolution may take place as early as Tuesday.
http://twitter.com/#!/jrsalzman/status/509041290554519552The administration is required by law to notify Congress at least 30 days ahead of time before transferring prisoners housed at the Guantánamo Bay detention facility. President Obama said after the transfer took place that giving Congress a heads-up could have jeopardized the deal with the Taliban to free the American prisoner of war.
The resolution expresses “grave concern” that releasing the five senior Taliban commanders raised national security risks.
Additionally, it argues that the exchange harmed the administration’s working relationships with the legislative branch, stating that “these actions have burdened unnecessarily the trust and confidence in the commitment and ability of the Obama administration to constructively engage and work with Congress.”

Reality bites back: With Joan Walsh’s help, the Left is hoisted on its own homophobic petard
http://twitter.com/#!/NathanWurtzel/status/195589202166026241
Well, well. It’s okay for someone on the Left to make a joke about people of the same sex marrying, but it’s not okay for a woman on the right to do so? Got it.
Hey people at #CrowleyJokes, how was Monica's joke much different than this? https://t.co/9Anr3ubA #hmmmm?
— RB (@RBPundit) April 26, 2012
Hmm. Curious, indeed!
The Left was once again caught spewing bile at a conservative woman when they took to Twitter to attack Fox News’ Monica Crowley for a joke she made about Sandra Fluke. Enter frantic back-pedaling and plausible deniability pushing. The ever-repugnant Salon editor Joan Walsh tries valiantly.
Note to the right: If you're not a homophobe, suggesting two men might marry isn't a gay joke. I know, I know, it's confusing.
— Joan Walsh (@joanwalsh) April 26, 2012
See? She can do it because she’s all inclusive and stuff. She’s a liberal! They are allowed to be homophobes and sexists and racists. And Monica must be a H8R. Because, Republican.
And what about Al Sharpton? “Punk faggot” is okay, evidently, if Al “blood on his hands” Sharpton says it.
Crowley once called an audience member a "punk faggot", too. http://t.co/7hJhT6yF #CrowleyJokes
— RB (@RBPundit) April 26, 2012
This doesn’t pass the homophobic smell test, Joan. Those who are saying that Monica Crowley used a “slur” as an excuse to spew their hate at her are the ones who are truly homophobic. Because, it’s only a slur if one considers being gay an insult. Hate much, Left?
Twitter agrees.
Those attacking @MonicaCrowley are probably the same ones who "insulted" @AndrewBreitbart by calling him gay. (It's not an insult, kids.)

@red_red_head If liberals don't attack you for being a homophobe, they'll attack you for being a homosexual. #ludicrous
— jon gabriel (@exjon) April 26, 2012
Also sexist. Like the time President Obama felt the need to telephone Sandra Fluke to soothe her boo-boo feelings. The only thing he left out was a pat on the head.
Note: If you think women, gays, [fill in the blank], need to be treated like Fabergé eggs, you have an insultingly low opinion of them.
— jon gabriel (@exjon) April 26, 2012
Another false narrative debunked. Thank you, happy warriors!
It's seems I've killed the #CrowleyJokes hashtag by pointing out Joan Walsh's tweet and Al Sharpton's past comments. OH WELL!

Nothing to see here! MSM silent after Ala. Dem calls Clarence Thomas ‘Uncle Tom’
http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/433686333161484288
Dude. Dude:
http://twitter.com/#!/DD_MarySell/status/433368741066194944That happened yesterday in Alabama.
http://twitter.com/#!/DD_MarySell/status/433370531711045633OK, maybe we’re jumping the gun a little. Let’s give Holmes a chance to clarify his remarks:
http://twitter.com/#!/TLockette_Star/status/433376144625131520Oh.
http://twitter.com/#!/TLockette_Star/status/433380197807570944Yeah, that really doesn’t make him look any better.
http://twitter.com/#!/TheDaleJackson/status/433692126359330816So, for those keeping score at home, a Democratic politician admitted to making up crap and smearing Justice Clarence Thomas as an Uncle Tom.

http://twitter.com/#!/Harold_Benton/status/433688593064681472Exactly.
So why didn’t we hear about it right after it happened? Didn’t the MSM think it was worth covering?
http://twitter.com/#!/Will_Antonin/status/433688345768890368 http://twitter.com/#!/TheDaleJackson/status/433688812410396672 http://twitter.com/#!/NoahCRothman/status/433689026730930176This one certainly wasn’t thoroughly vetted — by the public or the mainstream media.

The Sirtfood Diet
Discover the original international diet sensation—used by Adele, heavyweight champion David Haye, and Pippa Middleton—that will help you lose seven pounds in seven days while experiencing lasting energy and eating all the foods you love. Over the past few years, fasting has become a popular diet option. Studies show that fasting—whether through moderate calorie restriction every day or the more severe but less frequent intermittent fasting—can help people lose about thirteen to fourteen pounds in six months and reduce their risk of developing disease. When we fast, our body’s energy stores activate what is known as sirtuins, or the “skinny gene,” and many positive changes ensue. Fat storage is switched off, and our body stops its normal growth processes and goes into “survival” mode. Fat burning is stimulated and the genes involved in the repair and rejuvenation of our cells are turned on—which all results to weight loss and improved resistance to disease. But if not done correctly, fasting can lead to hunger, irritability, fatigue, and loss of muscle. Enter Sirtfoods: a newly discovered group of foods that is revolutionizing healthy eating. Ranging from chocolate and red wine to garlic and walnuts, sirtfoods are particularly rich in special nutrients that help us activate the same skinny genes in our bodies that fasting triggers. Nutritionists Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten have created The Sirtfood Diet to help you effectively lose weight and improve your resistance to disease, while still giving you incredible energy and glowing health.
Remember These 10 Products? No? Well That’s Because They Were Massively Awful Flops.
There’s a popular thing in entrepreneurship these days called “validating your idea.” That is, doing a bit of market research ahead of time to see if anyone will actually want your product before you make it.
It’s a simple strategy that can potentially save millions of dollars worth of time and effort. Clearly though, this isn’t something that everyone does. Because if they did, this list of products that flopped spectacularly would be much much shorter.
Seriously. Just take a look, and get ready to cringe.
1.) The Apple Newton.
This handheld personal computing device debuted in 1993 with a price tag of $700. The Newton’s bulkiness, price, and software shortcomings made it an easy target in the media. By 1998 the Newton gracefully faded away.
2.) Sony Betamax.
Sony thought they would change the world with their Betamax video recorder. Instead its become a running joke that still hasn’t gotten old. Sony was first to market with their video recorder, but VHS was not far behind. The company refused to license their Betamax technology, and forced customers to choose between them or VHS.
3.) Cosmopolitan Magazine Yogurt.
It only took the media empire that is Cosmopolitan Magazine 18 months to realize that they should stick to magazines instead of yogurt. Good call.
4.) Microsoft Bob.
As personal computers were finding their way into Americans’ homes in the mid 1990’s, Microsoft decided to try something different. They wanted to create a totally new interactive experience for personal PC users. That project was Bob. Sadly it was killed in development after only a year. The average PC simply did not have enough power to handle the Bob program.
5.) Coors Spring Water.
Though Coors is arguably a good beer, the company’s customers were not interested in buying water from them. Coors’ Rocky Mountain Spring Water project fell flat on its face.
6.) The Zune.
Designed by Microsoft to be an iPod killer, hopes were high for the Zune. However it just wasn’t enough. At least now you can find them for crazy cheap on eBay.
7.) Maxwell House Ready To Drink Coffee.
Coffee that’s ready to go when I am? Yes please! Oh wait, I have to microwave it? I also can’t microwave it in its container? Then why would I ever buy this? Exactly.
8.) Colgate Foods.
This is probably the weirdest one of the list. Since when does a toothpaste company try to also sell you food. What made them think this would be a good idea?
9.) Life Savers Soda.
Despite the relative popularity of the Life Savers candy, their soda incarnation did not fare very well. Just stick to what you’re good at, ok Life Savers?
10.) Smith & Wessen Bicycles.
Smith & Wessen is best known for making firearms. A little known fact though, is that the company also produces bicycles for law enforcement. Back in the early 2000’s the company decided to try marketing their bikes to the public, but no one really seemed to care.

No wonder everyone always looks at me weird when I’m using my Apple Newton, while listening to music on my Zune and drinking Life Savers Soda. Share these amazing product flops with your friends on Facebook by clicking below.

John Cusack praises Sen. Wyden as only ‘principled Dem’ to join Rand Paul
http://twitter.com/#!/johncusack/status/309557385263996928
As Twitchy reported last night, actor John Cusack took to Twitter in support of Sen. Rand Paul’s filibuster. The actor opposes the use of drones, and he wondered where the Democrats were, whom he believes should be standing up to “regressive corporate warlord” Obama.
Today, he used Twitter to praise Sen. Wyden, the one Democrat who did #StandwithRand during his “filiblizzard.”
@cenkuygur: Great credit to Ron Wyden so far for being the only principled Democrat to join Rand Paul in arguing for the constitution.”
— John Cusack (@johncusack) March 7, 2013
He also continued to ding liberals for remaining silent, by retweeting these tweets from Glenn Greenwald.
RT @ggreenwald: Van Jones on CNN: “Rand Paul last night was a civil liberties hero” and “progressives should be ashamed of themselves”
— John Cusack (@johncusack) March 7, 2013
RT @ggreenwald: Amy Goodman in the Guardian: America is shamed that only Rand Paul is talking about drone executionst.co/NaotI …
— John Cusack (@johncusack) March 7, 2013
Of course, note the snide slam to Sen. Rand and the Tea Party: How can it be only that dumb old rube? Taking a sneering page straight from WaPo’s Eugene Robinson’s clueless book.
