News reports are saying that Syrian security forces shot dead seven people during anti-government protests Tuesday in three cities. The violence followed rallies organized by authorities in support of President Bashar al Assad. Protesters said reforms he pledged during his speech Monday were inadequate. In response, he ordered a new general amnesty. Mind you the amnesty Assad pledges is to not execute any who surrender, instead offering lesser sentences of twenty to life. It seems unlikely any will take him up on his “generous” offer.
Al Jazeera also reported seven dead and ten wounded. One of the dead was a 13-year-old boy who was killed when security forces opened fire on anti-government protesters in a main square in Hama, according to an activist network. Syria has barred most international journalists, making it difficult to verify accounts from activists and officials, although the brute force being used by Assad against his own people is not in question.
During Assad’s speech this past week, he accused a “small” number of "terrorists" backed by "conspirators at home and abroad" of exploiting legitimate demands for reform. While hinting at possible reforms, Assad insisted that this depended on overcoming these obstacles which could take some time. In other words, Assad said, “I want to help but these dang conspirators are tying my hands. If only there weren’t these rioters running rampant, I could fix all that ails you, dear Syrians.” Only those that stand to gain anything in Syria are buying this bull and that seems to be a very small number.
Unfortunately, the army is still firmly behind Assad and until they change sides, the battles will be woefully one sided. Both the UN and the EU are considering more sanctions against Syria and Iran. How this will affect Assad will have to be seen.
The crackdowns Assad has conducted is not winning him any friends in much of the Muslim world with string condemnations from Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Turkish Prime Minister Tayyep Erdogan has moved forces, military equipment and vehicles, including attack helicopters and tanks to the Syrian border. He has threatened to invade to stop the flow of refugees from moving into Turkey. Even though relations between Turkey and the US have been frosty at best lately, Washington is coordinating its military movements with Ankara and Erdogan has quietly agreed to place Turkish bases at US disposal for an operation in Syria, should it come to that.
The war bells are sounding on Syria. Does Assad hear them or assume the US is too involved elsewhere to intervene? Let’s hope he’s not so arrogant to find out.

New Things To Worry About
If you've been watching the news for the past few weeks, it's been non stop Weinerrama, Casey Anthony disturbing trial (even I understand the appeal of that story), who's entering the Presidential race in the "Holy Crap I just Lost Big To Obama" Republican of the day, and a random selection of pointless, trivial media items that no one really cares about. There's so much happening right now and no one seems to be writing about it or putting it on the TV. Here just a few of the things over the past few weeks that have received little to no attention.
#1 The crisis at the Fort Calhoun nuclear facility in Nebraska. Back on June 7th, there was a fire at Fort Calhoun. The official story is that the fire was in an electrical switchgear room at the plant. The facility lost power to a pump that cools the spent fuel pool for approximately 90 minutes. According to the Omaha Public Power District, the fire was quickly extinguished and no radioactive material was released.
But the crisis at Fort Calhoun is not over. Right now, the nuclear facility at Fort Calhoun is essentially an island. It is surrounded by rising flood waters from the Missouri River.
Officials claim that there is no danger and that they are prepared for the river to rise another ten feet.
The Cooper Nuclear Station in Brownville, Nebraska is also being threatened by rising flood waters. A “Notification of Unusual Event” was declared at Cooper Nuclear Station this morning at 4:02. This notification was issued because the Missouri River’s water level reached 42.5 feet.
Could this be another Fukishima?
#2 According to sources at Infowars.com, they have received alarming reports from within the ranks of military stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas confirming plans to initiate a full-scale U.S.-led ground invasion in Libya and deploy troops by October.
The source stated that additional Special Forces are headed to Libya in July, with the 1st Calvary Division (heavy armor) and III Corps deploying in late October and early November. Initial numbers are estimated at 12,000 active forces and another 15,000 in support, totaling nearly 30,000 troops.

Add to this troop movements, NATO, Turkey, US, Syrian and Hezbollah forces, in and around Syria. US has moved in destroyer groups, Turkey has moved helicopters and ground forces to Syrian border and word that Hezbollah has moved all missile stockpiles to the center of the country. Sources also say that the Bilderberg group gave the okay for a new massive war, most likely as a desperate bid to save our failing economic system.
3 The crisis at Fukushima continues to get worse. Arnold Gundersen, a former nuclear industry senior vice president, recently made the following statement about the Fukushima disaster….
“Fukushima is the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind”
TEPCO has finally admitted that this disaster has released more radioactive material into the environment than Chernobyl did. That makes Fukushima the worst nuclear disaster of all time, and it is far from over.
Massive amounts of water is being poured into the spent fuel pools in order to keep them cool. This is creating “hundreds of thousands of tons of highly radioactive sea water” that has got to go somewhere. Inevitably much of it will get into the ground and into the sea.
Arnold Gundersen says that the scope of this problem is almost unimaginable….
“TEPCO announced they had a melt through. A melt down is when the fuel collapses to the bottom of the reactor, and a melt through means it has melted through some layers. That blob is incredibly radioactive, and now you have water on top of it. The water picks up enormous amounts of radiation, so you add more water and you are generating hundreds of thousands of tons of highly radioactive water.”
The mainstream media is not paying as much attention to Fukushima these days, but that doesn’t mean that it is not a major league nightmare.
Elevated levels of radiation are being reported by Japanese bloggers all over eastern Japan. There are reports of sick children all over the region. One adviser to the government of Japan says that an area approximately 17 times the size of Manhattan is probably going to be uninhabitable.
Of course the mainstream media has been telling us all along that Fukushima is nothing to be too concerned about and that authorities in Japan have everything under control.
If the mainstream media is not going to tell us the truth, how are they going to continue to have credibility?
#4 Members of Congress continue to mention Christians as a threat to national security. For example, during a recent Congressional hearing U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee warned that “Christian militants” might try to “bring down the country” and that such groups need to be investigated.
#5 China’s eastern province of Zhejiang has experienced that worst flooding that it has seen in 55 years. 2 million people have already been forced to leave their homes. China has already been having huge problems with their crops over the past few years and this is only going to make things worse.
#6 Thanks to the Dodd-Frank Act, over the counter trading of gold and silver is going to be illegal starting on July 15th. Or at least that is what some companies apparently now believe. The following is an excerpt from an email that Forex.com recently sent out to their customers….
Important Account Notice Re: Metals Trading
We wanted to make you aware of some upcoming changes to FOREX.com’s product offering. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act enacted by US Congress, a new regulation prohibiting US residents from trading over the counter precious metals, including gold and silver, will go into effect on Friday, July 15, 2011.
In conjunction with this new regulation, FOREX.com must discontinue metals trading for US residents on Friday, July 15, 2011 at the close of trading at 5pm ET. As a result, all open metals positions must be closed by July 15, 2011 at 5pm ET.
We encourage you to wind down your trading activity in these products over the next month in anticipation of the new rule, as any open XAU or XAG positions that remain open prior to July 15, 2011 at approximately 5:00 pm ET will be automatically liquidated.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience complying with the new U.S. regulation may cause you. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer service team.
Sincerely,
The Team at FOREX.com
Apparently, Section 742(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act prohibits anyone “from entering into, or offering to enter into, a transaction in any commodity with a person that is not an eligible contract participant or an eligible commercial entity, on a leveraged or margined basis.”
So what impact is this going to have on the gold and silver markets?
Nobody is quite sure yet.
#7 All over the world, huge cracks are appearing for no discernible reason. For example, a massive crack that is approximately 3 kilometers long recent appeared in southern Peru. Also, a 500 foot long crack suddenly appeared recently in the state of Michigan. When you also throw in all of the gigantic sinkholes that have been opening all over the world, it is easy to conclude that the planet is becoming very unstable.
#8 According to U.S. Forest Service officials, the largest wildfire in Arizona state history has now covered more than 500,000 acres. But based on the coverage it is being given by the mainstream media you would think that it is a non-event.
#9 There are reports that North Korea has tested a “super EMP weapon” which would be capable of taking out most of the U.S. power grid in a single shot. The North Koreans are apparently about to conduct another nuclear test and that has some Obama administration officials very concerned.
#10 All over the United States, “active shooter drills” are being conducted in our public schools. Often, most of the students are not told that these drills are fake. Instead, students often go through hours of terror as they think a hostage situation or a shooting spree is really taking place.
#11 NASA has just launched a “major” preparedness initiative for all NASA personnel. The following is an excerpt about this plan from NASA’s own website….
A major initiative has been placed on Family/Personal Preparedness for all NASA personnel. The NASA Family/Personal Preparedness Program is designed to provide awareness, resources, and tools to the NASA Family (civil servants and contractors) to prepare for an emergency situation. The most important assets in the successful completion of NASA’s mission are our employees’ and their families. We are taking the steps to prepare our workforce, but it is your personal obligation to prepare yourself and your families for emergencies.
#12 Over the past week over 40 temporary “no fly zones” have been declared by the FAA. This is very highly unusual. Nobody seems to know exactly why this is happening.
So what do all of these things mean?
It would be nice if the mainstream media would examine some of these important issues more closely and do some honest reporting on them.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK:HAYNES MANAGMENT
Everytime I hear one of these douchebag companies do something evil, they are going to get reamed here and deservedly so. Let's see those runner ups.
1)Obama- To quote Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek on the parody of Celebrity Jeopardy to a bumbling Tom Hanks, "I had such high hopes for you." But instead you turned out to be the corporate stooge we all thought you'd be but hoped otherwise. Incapable of telling the truth, even his liberal supporters are starting to fight back. White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer was heckled and booed Friday at the annual Netroots Nation conference in Minnesota, a gathering of liberal activists from the online political community. When Mr. Pfeiffer reminded the audience that the president championed an equal-pay law, the moderator replied, “Frankly we’re a little sick of hearing about that one.” Add to that that under Obama, no knock searches have gone up, as has drug arrests, no new jobs are being created and the economy seems to be in tail spin headed for a big crash. While he doesn't get all the blame, his idiotic negotiating method has nullified almost everything he has accomplished and his laid back style isn't translating well to people who are losing everything.
2)Republicans-Obama can't be that worries all the same after this week's yawn inducing debate where no new ideas where furnished just business as usual. Nevermind the fact that what you guys have done in the past is exactly why we are in the pickle we're in and the fact that the economy is nosediving specifically because you a-holes refuse to raise the debt ceiling causing all the problems you assured us wouldn't happen. And now that they are indeed happening, you pretend like everything's fine. It isn't. Get your head out of your ass and look around schmucks. So we have pretty boy Romney as a front runner who won't crow about his greatest achievement of Romneycare, a rousing success, thus guaranteeing him an Al Gore like fate. Michelle Bachmann is well, crazy as is Rick Santorum. Newt's own people left him high and dry. Cain in certifiable and has no experience. Pawlenty suffers from Joe Biden disease. This leaves only Ron Paul as the best candidate. He'll win when pigs fly as he might actually fix things, something big business doesn't want. Idiots.
3)TSA- This week they got caught racially profiling people in Houston. If it was young Muslim men I wouldn't have had a problem but they were going after Hispanics. In Texas. Homeland Security got pissed because what they didn't need right now is more bad PR. I still pray every week that Napolitano gets a serious form of cancer. I can dream.
4)Haynes Management- These douchebags fired Carl Sorabello, a good employee for fourteen years, after he shockingly asked for a more flexible schedule after his wife came down with stage four cancer. No compassion, no mercy, just a pink slip. That has got to be the coldest thing I have ever seen. As an investigative journalist I tracked down said people and here they are with email, address and phone number.
MARY R. BUTLER, the Vice President and Treasurer, who fired Carl Sorabella after he wanted some time off to be with his wife and would work nights and weekends to make sure his work would be done, is an A**HOLE. I hope she becomes seriously ill and sees what it's like.
E-mail them and tell them what you think, or better yet, call them up and give them a piece of your mind. E-mail is mbutler@haynesmanageme...
Good luck to Mr. Carl Soabella and his wife. Godspeed!

New Signs of A Coming Apocalypse
To say this has been a bad week would be an understatement. Rumors of wars, despicable behavior by corporations and economic woes dominate the news. Oh wait a minute, we're still hearing about Weinergate, Casey Anthony and retro trips to Vietnam that took up almost nine minutes on NBC news the other day. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
With more and more economists predicting an economic blowout soon, we should be prepared for anything at this point. All the same signs that happened before the 08 crash have surfaced and our idiot politicians keep pretending like nothing is happening. The worst of the bunch are the stick their heads in the sand and sing loudly GOP who still haven't noticed that by not raising the debt ceiling bad things are happening. Not later but now. Anyone who thinks that this is good idea is blind, stupid or both. The GOP is leading us to ruin and no one seems to care.
Not that our President is doing much better. He has lied to us on almost everything. Saying one thing to the public but behind closed doors doing the exact opposite like the War on drugs that every single sane person has called a failure but yet still continues. Worse, Obama has stepped up his drug war rather than stopping it like he promised, actually doing things worse than Bush. If we end the drug war, we will stop more problems than we create and save money in the process. But no, much like Russia and Holland, we continue this failed policy because of how much money it makes the US and who it employs.
The war drums are sounding louder as we move more ships off the Syrian coast and informants within the Army say they are prepping for a massive land invasion before October. I believe an attack, either real or false flag, will happen in September of this year. The Bilderberg group has been rumored that they want a World War to save the failing economies of the world which are now in near free fall. Rioting in Greece has hit epidemic proportions and similar outbreaks are expected in Britain, Ireland, Portugal and Spain. Many an economist say the only out of this mess is a big war, one that this time will be fought here. And Muslims can expect to be the new Jews should this occur. A lot of innocent people are going to die and people like myself may disappear one day to some black prison.
The worst of the bunch was a company called Haynes Management based here in MA. A worker there asked for a different schedule because his wife has terminal cancer. So what do they do? They fired his ass. This kind of crap cannot stand. If you are doing business with this company, don't. They must be made an example of. I'm hoping some nearby residents start picketing outside their business and the houses of the CEO and the bitch that fired him. I hope they all get cancer as well. Idiots.

The TSA is coming. The TSA is coming
As reprinted from Infowars
If you’re still living under the delusion that the TSA is just restricted to airports then think again. A joint VIPR “security exercise” involving military personnel has Transportation Security Administration workers covering 5,000 miles and three states, illustrating once again how the TSA is turning into a literal occupying army for domestic repression in America.
The TSA, in alliance with a whole host of federal, state, local agencies as well as military personnel, is currently conducting a massive “security exercise” throughout Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.
“The participating teams are composed of a variety of TSA assets including federal air marshals, canine teams, inspectors and bomb appraisal officers. They will be joined by state and local law enforcement officials to supplement existing resources, provide detection and response capabilities. The exercise will utilize multiple airborne assets, including Blackhawk helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as well as waterborne and surface teams,” reports the Marietta Times.
Although the exercise is couched in serious rhetoric about preparedness, it relates to “no specific threat” and the details are nebulous to say the least and seems to revolve around little else than testing out high-tech surveillance equipment and reminding Americans who their bosses are.
“In addition to using three helicopters for aerial inspection, the exercise made use of the Ohio Highway Patrol’s camera-equipped Cessna Caravan, which is capable of transmitting close-up, detailed real-time images of objects on the ground taken from more than five miles away,” reports the Charleston Gazette.
The exercise seems to be about little more than a show of force by the TSA in light of a massive resistance against their agenda, particularly in Texas where a recent bill that would have banned invasive TSA grope downs almost passed and is set to be up for debate again.
Michael Cleveland, federal security director for TSA operations in West Virginia admitted as much when he said the event was about letting, “people know we’re out here.”
As we have documented, TSA grope downs and body scans are now being rolled out on highways, street corners, train stations, bus depots, public buildings, at sports events, and even at local prom nights as part of the VIPR (Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response) takeover of the country.
The TSA has also announced its intention to expand the VIPR program to include roadside inspections of commercial vehicles, setting up a network of internal checkpoints and rolling out security procedures already active in airports, bus terminals and subway stations to roads and highways across the United States.
These internal checkpoints, run by Homeland Security, the Department of Transportation, and the TSA, involve trucks being scanned with backscatter x-ray devices in the name of “safety” and “counter terrorism”.
Since the launch of the Department of Homeland Security’s “See Something, Say Something” program, the DHS has also released promotional material which depicts would-be TSA agents conducting searches at public events, including a Buccaneers football game.
Homeland Security is also developing technology to be used at “security events” which purports to monitor “malintent” on behalf of an individual who passes through a checkpoint.
Forget the airports, the TSA has already spread its tentacles to invade almost every public facet of American society.
President Obama’s election campaign promise to create a domestic “security force,” that is “just as powerful, just as strong” as the US military is now coming to fruition as the TSA expands to turn American into a checkpoint-festooned hellhole where constant fearmongering about terror threats is the justification for the construction of a Sovietized police state.
If you’re still living under the delusion that the TSA is just restricted to airports then think again. A joint VIPR “security exercise” involving military personnel has Transportation Security Administration workers covering 5,000 miles and three states, illustrating once again how the TSA is turning into a literal occupying army for domestic repression in America.
The TSA, in alliance with a whole host of federal, state, local agencies as well as military personnel, is currently conducting a massive “security exercise” throughout Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.
“The participating teams are composed of a variety of TSA assets including federal air marshals, canine teams, inspectors and bomb appraisal officers. They will be joined by state and local law enforcement officials to supplement existing resources, provide detection and response capabilities.

The GOP Debate: John King and The Seven Dwarves
Welcome ladies and gentleman to the upteenth debate between a bunch of conservative candidates who have no hope of winning. It's a beautiful day here in New Hampshire, perfect weather for a pointless exchange of ideas that will have no bearing on anyone or anything. They're in the gate and they're off. Pawlenty and Santorum stumble badly out of the gate, as Pawlenty trips over his own words and Santorum seems lost and confused as to where he is exactly. Cain is the lead with Newt, Bachmann, Romney and Paul close behind. Wait a minute, Cain is showing some trouble as the Tea Party finds out that Cain is both black and a CEO. Newt closes in on the rail, oh bad luck, he has somehow lost his saddle, reins, stirrups, clothes, rider and horse. Paul, Bachmann and Romney are neck and neck, but Paul is falling behind as he tries to repeal NAFTA. Romney pulls away from Bachmann, who must have taken all her lithium to remain this competitive. And the winner is...... Romney by three lengths. The real winners were anyone not watching this dribble.
Three people came out of this with some kind of dignity and the host, John King, was definitely not one of them. Asking the most inane questions I have ever heard, the GOP hopefuls were peppered with such hard pointers as "Leno or Conan," "Spicy or Mild," and, my favorite, "Blackberry or Iphone." This kind of nonsense was causing me to ask myself "barf bag or toilet." Really, was there nothing else you could have asked? I didn't realize all the world's problems have been solved and we can waste our time with such trivial matters. Oh wait a minute. It hasn't. There are real problems out there that most of us want to hear what these potential world leaders are going to do to solve them and you actually waste time asking what type of wing sauce they liked. You suck John King. Go back to sports or infomercials or whatever rock you climbed out from under. Is there really no one in news who knows how to do a debate anymore?
Romney was the clear winner in this debate as the others all paid some sort of weird worship his way by failing to criticize him in any meaningful stance. Pawlenty shrank behind Romney, refusing to even address his "Obmneycare" remark that he talked up and down the Sunday news shows. When the subject was brought up, Pawlenty had that deer in headlight look her gets whenever he's asked a question he doesn't like, and danced around it with the grace of Kate Gosselin. Stammering and avoiding questions are sure way to wind up like Gingrich, whose entire team quit this week in the face of certain defeat. Oddly, Gingrich is reading the electorate better than his competitors and would be doing better poll wise if he wasn't such a blowhard. He is the only person speaking out against the Ryan plan, albeit in more muted tones than earlier.
He has taken fire from conservatives for his statement that the Ryan plan amounted to "right-wing social engineering." This incredibly unpopular bill is still being touted as the new thing from the GOP and it's going down as well as New Coke did back in the eighties.
"If you're dealing with something as big as Medicare," Gingrich said, "and you can't have a conversation with the country where the country thinks what you're doing is the right thing, you better slow down."
"Remember, we all got mad at Obama, because he ran over us when we said don't do it," he continued. "Well, the Republicans ought to follow the same ground rule."
Santorum, whose name sounds like a place he should be committed too, went right for the crazy by appealing to the Tea Party, shut-ins and the mentally insane with his special brand of nonsense. In his brave new world, abortion would be illegal, gays would be hunted for sport and Christianity would be the all encompassing religion for us all. Good luck with that platform.
Herman Cain, the former CEO of Godfather Pizza and who has never been elected to anything in his life, has spent the last few weeks talking about the dumbest of things. He has called liberals the dumbest of the dumb, said Obama was born in Kenya and the piece de triumph at the debate, supports both the Ryan plan and the privatization of Social Security. Run on those ideas and watch the number fades into the sunset.
Only Paul and, most surprisingly, Michelle Bachmann came out mostly unscathed. The only two in the debate that currently serve in government, they both came across better than you would expect. Bachmann in particular spoke in complete sentences, didn't avoid questions, looked into the right camera for once, and didn't come across as crazy. Rick Santorum did that all on his own.
Romney emerged the clear winner though as his perfect hair and smile stole the show from the forgettable others. A Boston Globe poll put him up over 30 points from his closest competitor in New Hampshire for the primaries. Even in Iowa, where he has no plans to compete, recent polls put him the lead for the caucuses as well. For the moment Romney is the one to beat. Let's just hope John King is nowhere around to question him.

Republicans 2012: Race to the Bottom
After a hesitant start from the GOP, many a candidate is coming out of the woodwork to throw their hat into the ring of public approval. The populace has heard what they have to say, have examined their credentials to be someone that could beat their hated foe in Obama, to lead them out of the doldrums of the current quicksand of Washington and have exclaimed in one loud voice a central consensus: These candidates suck.
A recent CNN poll asked the general populace of Republicans only who their favorite choice of candidate was. 46% said No One. The next closest was Sarah Palin at 16% and Rudy Giuliani at 15% and neither of them has actually declared their presidential aspirations yet. Romney was the highest of people actually running at whopping 13%. At the bottom of the pile are sure goners Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorium and John Huntsman; the reason being is Pawlenty suffers from Joe Biden (otherwise known as foot in mouth) Disease, Santorium’s name sounds way to close to a place he should be committed to and no one knows who the hell John Hunstman actually is. So how have the better known names fared this week? Poor would be a step up.
Newt Gingrich suffered the kind of Titanic-like disaster that Roland Emmerich should be making a movie about it. After deciding to interrupt his sputtering campaign by taking a long vacation cruise with his wife to the Greek Isles, he arrived home to find his entire campaign team had decided that they needed a long vacation as well. Twenty four aides, or basically his entire campaign team, quit. As his poll numbers have dropped like a stone, in no part due to the fact that even Republicans don’t even like the guy, his team dropped him too. Expect him to quit any day now.
As Sarah Palin’s View America and Butcher American History Tour comes to a merciful end, comes news that puts her at the top of the heap of Presidential candidates. If nothing else that HAS to scare even the most moderately intelligent person. Imagine what life will be like should this bird brained moron actually get into office. I can see it now: National Snowmobile Championships, Moose Hunting for Charity and the total collapse of world economics. Sweet.
Romney tops the charts of most polls with some even having him beating Obama in a general election. I think it’s a little premature to suggest that a Mormon in the Deep South is going to poll too well come election time or that his conflicting position on Obamacare (as his Romneycare in Massachusetts is very similar) is going to win over the anti-health care nuts. Never mind the fact that Romneycare works very well and all the people that hate it don’t actually live in the state. I still don’t understand why people are fighting to lose everything they have if they get sick. Incredible.
The one person who might actually be able to gain a foothold is Rudy Giuliani whose poll number suggest a run might not be a certain death knell like others. As Republicans have been saying they are increasingly looking for a good candidate that might not necessarily hold all of the same positions, a Giuliani campaign run on issues other than abortion and homophobia might actually have the best chance against what may be a weak democratic candidate. Then again, maybe all they’ll remember is him in a dress.
Two lesser known candidates Jimmy McMillan of the Rent Is Too High Party and Jonathon Sharkey who was both a Republican candidate and, I kid you not, the Vampires, Witches, and Pagans Party, are both running. McMillian looks like he lost a bet with a barber and Sharkey is a dead ringer for porn star Ron Jeremy dressed as a musketeer. I would pay good money to see a debate with these guys and the other Republicans in the field. Questions like “Mr. Sharkey, what kind of blood do you drink and does Dick Cheney ever join in?” would be classic.
But all this is still conjecture as we have no idea what direction the country might go in over the next year. Obama could still be hero or villain. The question is will the GOP be able to capitalize on it if he does indeed start to sink?
