Jeb Bush announced in an interview airing Sunday that he will release 250,000 emails from his time as Florida governor, another signal that the younger Bush brother is preparing to run for president

Don't yell at terrorist suspects, soldiers told

British soldiers have “lost their capability” to interrogate terrorist insurgents because of strict new rules on questioning that even ban shouting in captives’ ears, military chiefs have warned.

The rules — detailed in court papers obtained by The Telegraph — also prevent military intelligence officers from banging their fists on tables or walls, or using “insulting words” when interrogating a suspect.

Unbelievable, now it's the Brits, that lost their cojones. Obama should build a mosque as well as a 5 star hotel, with a few dozen virgins to service the detainees in Gitmo, so as to please Dianne Feinstein and the PC Pussies.

Oh, this is going to be another fun Election. Watching news now, looks like he's going to run. Rubio will as well. Then we have the nut Santorum, condoms are evil, running again. He must be low on cash. Maybe some Tea Party candidates. Palin won't run, but I'm sure she will contribute some great material with her deep insights. Will watch them eat each other up first, the Clinton come and have them for dessert.

Unemployment rate steady at 5.8%. U.S. hiring strongest in nearly 3 years. Economy continues to come back and kick butt.

CHEAP GAS
"After a weekend of price cutting at stations, gas for less than $2 can be found in 13 states across the country. Two weeks ago there was only one gas station in the country selling gas that cheap."

Will that mean legal Cuban Cigars?

Not quite sure, the article says - "This means the long-standing ban on importing Cuban cigars is over, although there are still limits."

Then I heard on TV, something about you're allowed to bring back $100 worth of cigars from Cuba (something like that) but it's not going to be on store shelves or anything like that.

And there's not going to be open travel or anything like that, you still have to go thru certain companies.

So have no idea basically. I think they should go ahead and open it all up. Baby steps.

We get Cigars and no Russian missiles pointed at Miami. Win Win

 

[iowadawg]

Damn, that is a drawback, no more Miami bound missiles!

Come on, they are legal - as long as you don't inhale of course

N. Korea has a stare-down with Sony and the U.S., and we blinked.

Not too surprised. Americans have been trained to be timid after decades of lawsuits for every misfortune, and more recently the treatment at airports, and the overreach of tax agencies and police. Of course people are conditioned to keep their heads down and toe the line. It is sad.

It's probably more that they know what they have yet to reveal and they know its better to write off a 44 mil movie than to let this get any bigger. Disney in the past wrote off two 200 mil projects (loser movies) like it was nothing.

Before any of this broke I saw that this movie was coming out and I thought that was a very dumb idea. They need better board of directors

Isn't that your country?

"Sony, is a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Kōnan Minato, Tokyo, Japan"

Yes, Americans are timid, haha. At least you got another shot in before the year closed out. You went from this situation, a decision by one company and went all the way to "Americans".

 

[Domainace]

The movie probably would have died a quiet death had not North Korea used this very effective scheme to promote it. Now, everybody wants to see it. I suspect it will get out somehow - more people than ever will see it, but Sony won't make a dime after everything is factored in.

Maybe Kim Il Un should start a gossip network, like Gawker. He seems to be good at getting the inside dirt, and it would make him some nice foreign exchange. Maybe he could then afford a proper haircut.

I just love those pictures coming out of N. Korea, showing the Great Leader teaching the all those 50 to 100 star generals how it's done

Hmmm... you got me there. Could it be for Kim to have some fun with?

I just made a massive sacrifice and watched 5 minutes of "The View" talking about racism.

Wow, amazing to see these liberal idiots trying to out lib each other. In the end Whoopi Goldberg made just a wee bit more sense than the other idiots full of White Guilt.
