Israel's nuclear program has been hidden from the world for almost forty years. Unlike the rest of the world, Israel's "nuclear ambiguity" has provided Israel with cover and, more importantly, has shielded Israel from the constraints of international treaties, such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Some have argued that this "ambiguity" hasn't helped in the Middle East. And some just have a problem with Israel's unwillingness to play by the same rules as the rest of the International community.
For forty years, every American president has allowed Israel to play by a different set of rules. But it looks like that is about to change.

A few nights ago, NBA ~~future~~ Hall-of-Famer Charles Barkley appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Like only Sir Charles can do, the current NBA analyst for TNT broke down the GOP, Hannity, Limbaugh, and Beck with simple clarity and truth.

Earlier in the week I posted a diary entitled the People v. John Yoo, about John Yoo's recent debate at Brown University against the director of the ACLU, Larry Cox.

I thought a video would eventually make its way onto Youtube, and sure enough, a video has surfaced.

This is NOT a joke. It is real.

From Politico:

"In an interview with Curtis Sliwa on ABC Radio last night, the host and RNC Chairman Michael Steele jokingly linked Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to the film "Slumdog Millionaire." Steele offered Jindal "slum love.

Here's the transcript:

SLIWA: Now, using a little bit of that street terminology, are you giving him any Slum love, Michael?

STEELE: (laughter)

SLIWA: Because he is — when guys look at him and young women look at him — they say oh, that's the slumdog millionaire, governor. So, give me some slum love.

STEELE: I love it. (inaudible) ... some slum love out to my buddy. Gov. Bobby Jindal is doing a friggin' awesome job in his state. He's really turned around on some core principles — like hey, government ought not be corrupt. The good stuff ... the easy stuff.

According to The Providence Journal, there was a debate last night.

In one corner was the architect of the American torture policy, John Yoo.

In the other corner was Larry Cox, the executive director of Amnesty International USA.

It happened at Brown University.

One word: GREED.

In collaboration with James F. Reda and Associates, ABC News compiled a nice list showing some of the companies in the headlines today and looked at just how much money some of their respective CEO's are taking home.

Springfield, USA: During tonight's third Presidential debate, Republican nominee, Senator John McCain insured the now famous "Joe the Plumber" (Joe Wurzelbacher) that he, Senator McCain, was the better candidate to meet Joe's needs. Senator McCain spoke to the camera and said "Joe, I want to tell you, I'll not only help you buy that business that you worked your whole life for and be able -- and I'll keep your taxes low and I'll provide available and affordable health care for you and your employees."

Lately, David Letterman has been on a rampage of sorts. Ever since McCain lied to Letterman and canceled a schedule appearance on his show, Letterman has not been holding back his views on the McCain campaign. Much of this has been chronicled on this site.

Friday night, Letterman had NBC News' Brian Williams on his show. In this appearance, Dave did not mince words about what he thought about Palin and McCain. And surprisingly, Brian Williams made some great points regarding the importance of the vice presidency.

"At the most chaotic juncture in Iraq'' civil war, a new law is unveiled that will allow Shell and BP to claim the country's vast oil reserves... Immediately following September 11, the Bush Administration quietly outsources the running of the 'War on Terror' to Halliburton and Blackwater... After a tsunami wipes out the coasts of Southeast Asia, the pristine beaches are auctioned off to tourist resorts... New Orleans residents, scattered from Hurricane Katrina, discover that their public housing, hospitals and schools will never be re-opened."

These are Naomi Klein's words from her bestselling book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.

Barack Obama posted a diary on Daily Kos. Twice, actually. The first post was back in September 0f 2005. Obama stopped by and personally wrote a diary about why he would not support a fillibuster on the John Roberts vote. The diary is now topical again because within the contents of the diary Senator Obama tipped his hand to us all.

Perhaps even about FISA.

**UPDATED TO FALL IN LINE WITH THE RULES**
I removed the offending link to Sheehan's site. Now, I believe this diary is simply newsworthy as it states a rival candidate's views. Am I "safe" now?

Last night, after hearing about Pelosi's capitulation on FISA, I got angry. Angry that I supported her and gave her the benefit of the doubt back when she took impeachment off the table. Angry that she once again gave Bush cover for his crimes. I had enough.

Last night I donated to the Cindy Sheehan campaign.

Today I received a message from Cindy Sheehan's campaign:
