What do Indian Communists know that most American voters don't?From MyNews.in
Sitaram Yechury"Since I was told that the communists have been a part of mainstream politics of India throughout, I feel really pleased to meet an Indian Communist." Barack Obama told Communist Party of India (Marxist) Politburo member Sitaram Yechury at the Rashtrapati Bhawan banquet as they were introduced and both shook hands.
Yechury told Obama that the Indian communists have been in the political mainstream "throughout".

Soros-Funded Fanatics Call on Obama to Rule by Executive Order
Sent to you by Jay via Google Reader:
via Moonbattery by Van Helsing on 11/10/10
You have to hand it to moonbats — it isn't easy to spin the trouncing they received last week into a victory for progressives:
It was progressives who won the mid-term elections, particularly incumbents in a socialist-founded congressional caucus that emerged from last week's ballots virtually unscathed, boasted an article published by the George Soros-funded Institute for Policy Studies, a Marxist-oriented think-tank in Washington, D.C.
If progressives were reelected, it's only because they represent the safest of safe districts for Democrats: blighted zones from which constructive people interested in working for a living have escaped, or regions like Raul Grijalva's district in southern Arizona that have effectively been annexed by Mexico. Yet somehow Soros's henchmoonbats derive from the record-setting spanking Dems received a mandate to ram through Obama's hard left agenda:
"Progressives won in the 2010 mid-term elections," wrote Karen Dolan, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, or IPS, and director of the Cities for Progress and Cities for Peace projects based at the radical organization.
"The Congressional Progressive Caucus, the largest caucus in the House Democratic Caucus at over 80 members, emerged virtually unscathed, losing only three members," she wrote, in the piece published on the IPS website.
In contrast, Blue Dogs were routed — precisely because they represent districts requiring some level of appeal to normal Americans.
Now this is starting to make sense:
"The veil of a happy Democratic governing majority is finally lifted. We didn't have it then; We don't have it now. But what we do have now is a more solidly progressive bunch of Dems in Congress and a president presumably less encumbered by the false illusion that playing nice will get him a date with the other team."
She went on to recommend that progressives "throw our support unabashedly behind the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and let's push Obama to finally do the right thing through as many Executive Orders as we can present to him."
In short, they are calling on Obama to openly disregard the will of the American people by circumventing Congress, in effect declaring himself dictator. It certainly wouldn't be inconsistent with the arrogance he displayed in his first two years, and it is the only way he will continue to advance his disastrous agenda if Republicans in Congress have any spine at all.
We'll know this is still America if he doesn't get away with it.

Michael Bloomberg Launches War on Soup
Sent to you by Jay via Google Reader:
via Moonbattery by Van Helsing on 11/10/10
Ground Zero mosque advocate and NYC Mayor for Life Michael Bloomberg has turned his sanctimonious anti-food jihad against soup:
Mayor Bloomberg's latest health campaign — cutting salt intake — has targeted soup as one of the big sodium offenders to be taken down with new city ads.
The ads, which will be plastered on subways for the next two months, feature a half-opened can of soup with a geyser of salt spewing from the top and forming a heap around the can. …
An admitted fan of dumping salt on his own food, Bloomberg said the biggest culprits behind high-salt diets are the food processors that include copious amounts of sodium in canned soup and other prepared foods.
Guess who's paying for this nanny state nonsense? You are:
The campaign costs $370,000 — $130,000 of which comes from city taxpayers. The rest is covered by the federal government, a city Department of Health spokeswoman said.
Just as CO2 is required by plants, salt is an essential nutrient for people. That our moonbat rulers have convinced the pathologically gullible (i.e., other liberals) that ubiquitous and necessary elements of everyday life are public menaces is testimony both to their propaganda powers and to their stark raving insanity.

Amnesty International Calls for Criminal Investigation Into Bush’s Admission...

The far left former human rights group Amnesty International today called for an investigation in George Bush's recent admission of so-called "torture."
Former President George Bush said information obtained from terrorist suspects through "waterboarding" prevented attacks on London.
Iran Press News reported:
The London-based Amnesty International (AI) has called for a criminal investigation into former US President George W. Bush's admission of torture.
The rights group's call comes after Bush confirmed in his recently released memoirs, Decision Points, that he authorized the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" against detainees held in secret US custody.
Exactly six days after the September 11 attacks, Bush authorized the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to set up secret detention facilities outside the US.
Amnesty claims multiple human rights violations were committed against detainees in the name of the so-called 'war on terror.'
Additionally, in an 8 November 2010 interview with Matt Lauer on NBC, Bush stated that he had authorized the use of "water boarding" and other "enhanced interrogation techniques" against alleged "high-value detainees." During the interview, Bush focused on the case of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
"Would it be OK for a foreign country to waterboard an American citizen?" Lauer asked.
"It's all I ask is that people read the book. And they can reach the same conclusion. If they'd have made the same decision I made or not," replied Bush.

‘The Three Little Pigs Revisited’: New Version With Recycled Houses and ‘Mis...
Sent to you by Jay via Google Reader:
via The Blaze - Stories by Jonathon M. Seidl on 11/10/10
Remember the childhood story "The Three Little Pigs"? Complete with animals, action, and some life lessons about not taking the easiest route, the tale has become a classic. And despite variations over the years, the core story remains the same. Until now.
A new version of the story is now popping up in the classroom as part of the the fourth grade reading textbook Storytown: Winning Catch 4. In that book's version, the wolf has a sudden heart attack while trying to blow down the third little pig's adobe house. The three little pigs rush to his aid, save him, and while trying to flee from him once recovered, realize that the whole "huff and puff and blow your house down" thing was a simple "lack of communication": the wolf actually wanted to move in with the pigs and was testing each abode's structural security.
The story is complete with housing shortages and houses made of recycled newspaper and aluminum. An electronic version can be viewed here by picking theme two, lesson eight.
One reader, however, sent The Blaze a two-page excerpt from the updated version, which is being used in at least one school in Shelby county, Alabama:
This isn't the first time the pigs have faced scrutiny. In 2008, another version of "The Three Little Pigs" came under fire for not being politically correct. Then, a British educational system award panel turned down a new version of the story called "The Three Little Cowboy Builders" because it was offensive to Muslims, Asians, and builders.
"Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?" a panel of judges asked.

Skeptics Not Convinced ‘Missile’ Was a Plane
Sent to you by Jay via Google Reader:
via The Blaze - Stories by Meredith Jessup on 11/10/10
In a statement released to the news media Wednesday afternoon, the Pentagon says that an airplane and not a missile launch was the likely cause of a large vapor trail seen in the skies off Southern California's coast Monday. A local CBS affiliate captured images of the vapor trail that many viewers thought resembled the cloudy track of a missile in flight, but military officials said they did not know of any rockets being launched in the area.
Defense Department spokesman Col. Dave Lapan says that officials are "satisfied" with reports identifying the phenomenon was an airplane vapor trail distorted by camera angle, winds and other environmental factors. In addition, he says military experts have studied the video and checked with any government which might have been involved in a missile launch and none reported having launched one.
But despite the DoD's assurance, many people remain skeptical about the military's response.
An advisory posted Monday by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) — a sub-agency of the Department of Defense — has subsequently raised a number of questions. In a warning to mariners in the "eastern north Pacific," the NGA advisory coincidentally reported that areas off the coast of southern California would be in the "naval air warfare center sea range," and susceptible to "intermittent missile firing operations" this week.
The advisory noted that "vessels may be requested to alter course" in the area "due to firing operations" and that navigators should "maintain continuous guard while within the range." The geographical coordinates encompassing the noted sea range correspond to the reported area in which Monday's "mystery missile" was spotted. (See range No. 18 on map of NGA navigational warnings)
Vessels traveling to and from California ports in the vicinity of the sea range were instructed to "transit via the Santa Barbara Channel and within nine miles offshore vicinity of Point Mugu or to cross the area southwest of San Nicolas Island between sunset and sunrise.
Monday's NGA warning also appeared in Tuesday's broadcast for mariners, noting that missile activity would proceed throughout the week. However, Wednesday's advisory made no mention of continuing missile activity.
Eyewitness accounts Monday estimated the approximate location of the trajectory "as west of Los Angeles, north of Catalina Island, and approximately 35 miles out to sea."
Feedback into The Blaze suggested the anomaly could have been an inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) launched from a U.S. submarine off the California coastline. Sources have since confirmed no such launch took place.
However, further investigations have revealed that the noted San Nicolas Island (SNI) — a nine-mile long strip of land about 60 miles south of Point Mugu — is actually home to a U.S. Navy weapons testing and training facility. According to the Navy, SNI is "critical to performing the Sea Range mission and provides a cornerstone for supporting a wide variety of test, evaluation, training and experimentation operations, including surface-to-air, surface-to-surface, air-to-air, air-to-surface, missile defense, fleet training and large-scale joint experimentation scenarios."
The Navy has owned and operated various weapons tests on the island since 1933. The island is coincidentally located at the center of the NGA's missile advisory range:
The Blaze reached out to the Department of Defense Wednesday afternoon for comment on this speculation. In response, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Col. David Lapan (USMC) responded with the following statement:
There is no evidence to suggest that this is anything else other than a condensation trail from an aircraft.
As stated yesterday, NORAD and USNORTHCOM determined that there was no threat to the US homeland.
In a follow-up, The Blaze asked whether or not the Department of Defense could either confirm or deny the NGA's account of missile activity in the vicinity of Monday's unexplained occurrence. This request for comment has thus far gone unanswered.
If the object's contrail did come from a commercial jet and not a military operation, the FAA hasn't been able to confirm it. Though Col. Lapan told reporters Wednesday that the FAA had run "radar replays" from Monday afternoon, he said they were unable to identify any "fast-moving unidentified targets" or "unusual sightings from pilots" flying in the area Monday afternoon.
But many people have speculated the object's near-vertical trajectory suggests it was a rocket of some sort rather than a commercial airliner. "We did not approve any commercial space launches in that area for Monday, and any additional information should come from NORAD. That's pretty much all I can say right now," FAA spokesman Ian Gregor told SPACE.com Tuesday.
Though the FAA hasn't confirmed an account of a jetliner leaving the exhaust trail, one blogger thinks he may have pinpointed the culprit. Fox News reports:
On his blog "Time to Think," Liem Bahneman on Wednesday pinpointed America West Flight 808 as the likely cause — backing up an explanation offered by a senior military official to Fox News Channel that the contrail caught on video by a news helicopter "was more likely caused by an airplane than anything else."
Bahneman wonders if he is the first to call it: "I did a lot of extrapolation of what flights could be at the right position (off the coast) at the right altitude (for contrail formation) and came down to two possibilities: UPS Flight 902 (UPS902) or America West Flight 808 (AWE808)."
In the end, the fact that the Pentagon suggests the mysterious contrail was left by a plane but has not confirmed the account has raised questions and left the door open for public speculation. Wednesday afternoon, a professor from MIT told CNN's Josh Levs the UFO was definitely not a plane:
But while speculation is still running wild over Monday's unexplained phenomenon in the skies off California's southern coastline, the Pentagon says this case is closed.
