Just another day in Bizarro World...

"Once we landed in Punta Cana we were told by the flight attendants that there was a situation and that a passenger may have been in Africa and had Ebola. She was certain it was a hoax but they did not take any chances and had a full hazmat crew board the plane and take the passenger off. It was later confirmed that the passenger was never in Africa and after 2hrs we were finally able to get off the plane."
Message of the Day

Actually, this should be Question of the Day:
The President of the US and his Attorney General were unaware of Benghazi, IRS, Fast & Furious and other FEDERAL debacles, yet feel compelled today to stick their noses in a STATE case, i.e., Florida's George Zimmerman trial. What's wrong with this picture?

The New Moderate Hardliner
June 17, 2013
If I hear words like "moderate" or "reformist" associated with the name Hassan Rouhani one more time, I will literally and figuratively bust a gut!
Today’s newspapers are replete with articles, analyses, editorials and commentary on Iran’s new president-elect, cleric Hassan Rouhani.
You can read about his background – including that he was lead nuclear negotiator for Iran (2003-2005) – in any newspaper or hear about it on TV/radio, ad nauseum – but remember: All the candidates in the Iranian election were pre-approved by Ayatollah Khamenei and his regime, while those whom they deemed unacceptable, were disqualified ahead of time.
So how will the so-called “moderate’, “reformer”, “pragmatic”, “diplomatic,” “centrist” cleric Rouhani govern? Well, there’s a reason Ayatollah Khaminei approved his candidacy and it wasn’t because of his sunny disposition.
So wake up, folks. The emperor has no clothes! The West has a habit of romanticizing events (and people) that are dangerous and ugly by nature. Remember the blooming “Arab Spring”?
[Oh, and a special shout-out to NSR’s new Twitter follower, i.e., Dr. Hassan Rouhani, President-elect of Islamic Republic of Iran. Please feel free to peruse our site, President-elect Rouhani.] Posted by R.S.
Does Anyone Know?

Rabid Israel-hater, Samantha Power, was nominated by President Obama today for position of U.S. ambassador to the UN.
Foreign Policy magazine just posted a piece entitled "Neocons Praise Samantha Power Pick" (see below).
Does anyone know who the "neocons" are in this piece? We're perplexed.

Notable Quotables
"It was the Palestinian mob that prevented Abu Akleh’s funeral from progressing to the church by hearse as the family had wanted. It was the mob that took the body without authorization, which forced Israeli Police to intervene with force to have them return the body to the hospital. Once returned, the body was transported to the church in the hearse under Israeli protection according to plan."
