The Treasonous Acts of George W.

In this article Naomi Wolf interviews Michael Ratner about the implications of the Yoo memos.  Memos which have just been released to the public that detail the 'legal' framework with which the Bush administration hoped to justify their various, questionable activities.  Ratner explains that the memos show that what the administration was doing was nothing short of treason, and that they need to be held to account for their crimes.

Changes to the Soldier's Creed

I don't remember hearing about this, but I was watching FSTV last night and this came to light.

Apparently changes were made to the creed that American soldiers are supposed to adhere to.

Previous Version:

I am an American Soldier.

I am a member of the United States Army -- a protector of the greatest nation on earth.

Because I am proud of the uniform I wear, I will always act in ways creditable to the military service and the nation it is sworn to guard.

I am proud of my own organization. I will do all I can to make it the finest unit in the Army.

I will be loyal to those under whom I serve. I will do my full part to carry out orders and instructions given to me or my unit.

As a soldier, I realize that I am a member of a time-honored profession--that I am doing my share to keep alive the principles of freedom for which my country stands.

No matter what the situation I am in, I will never do anything, for pleasure, profit, or personal safety, which will disgrace my uniform, my unit, or my country.

New Version:  

I am an American Soldier.

I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fellow comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.

I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.

Interesting, no?

Jon Stewart Skewers Jim Cramer and the CNBC

This was INCREDIBLE!!  Man!  Stewart has never done this before to my knowledge.  He spent a whole 20 minutes with his guest, and he completely blasted him.  He wouldn't let him off the mat.  Jim was visually chastened at the end of it all.  If you haven't seen this yet, it is an absolute must see!  Check it out HERE!!!

Jim Cramer is a Crook!

Check this out!

-On the truth: "What's important when you are in that hedge fund mode is to not be doing anything that is remotely truthful, because the truth is so against your view - it is important to create a new truth to develop a fiction," Cramer advises. "You can't take any chances."
