#3  Artical says candles at the memorial were sometimes lit but folks didnt think that was the cause?

Please, no witnesses? Who is gonna go there and burn the memorial without a gang to protect them? I suspect if video catches the fire starting it is a candle or someone sympathetic to Brown and wanting to keep the troops angry.

Eric Holder: I Identify With Ferguson's Mistrust of Cops
[Daily Beast] At a law enforcement conference today, the Attorney General told audiences that he identified with both sides of the Ferguson conflict.
Typical regime doubletalk.
Reporters, law enforcement experts, students, and one lone protester filled New York University School of Law's Tishman Auditorium Tuesday afternoon to listen to Eric Holder talk about reducing crime and the incarcerated population. The Attorney General was the keynote speaker at an all-day conference held by the law school's Brennan Center for Justice on "Shifting Law Enforcement Goals to Reduce Mass Incarceration," to commemorate the center's release of a new report on that very subject. In the audience, the protester waved a sign that read, "NYU: Stop forcing applicants to disclose criminal history."
Execution reduces mass incarceration as well as recidivism.

#4  Uh, did the American People elect his boss?

The American people don't like what they got?

How good is the judgement of the American People?

Do the American People deserve to take the responsibility for what they elected?

Well, do they? You don't like the way Congress is composed? You don't agree with Obama and his chosen Administration?

Did you Vote? Is there a system in place to give you what you DO want? You either Vote or you are just another ass crack at Walmart.

#5  Did you Vote?

Why yes, Hemingway, I did. I always do, even the primaries and the local elections, unless I am too sick to drive and there's no one to chauffeur me. Not only that, but I make sure my family votes, too, and I type up a little voter guide so they are aware of the issues and the positions of the various candidates.

Did you vote, Hemingway, or are you just enjoying another opportunity to bloviate?

#6  Holder 'distrusts' the police? That probably works both ways.

#7  If Holder is considered the top cop then I also have trust issues with law enforcement.

#8  Fox just announced that Eric Holder is stepping down. Pelosi confirmed this as well.

#9  Yes. Thanks to Judicial Watch, Congressman Issa, Rep. Tray Gowdy, Congressman Louis Gohmert the cockroaches are starting to scatter.

Russian air incursions rattle Baltic states

#2  Google found this excerpt on an idiots site (PrisonPlanet/Infowars, Alex Jones, who has all the common sense God gave a potato)

The Baltic countries are registering a dramatic increase in Russian military provocations, rattling nerves in a region which fears it could be the next frontier after Ukraine in Moscow’s quest at asserting its regional power.
Nato fighters policing Baltic airspace were scrambled 68 times along Lithuania’s borders this year, by far the highest count in more than 10 years. Latvia registered 150 “close incidents”, cases where Russian aircraft were found approaching and observed for risky behaviour. Estonia said its sovereign airspace had been violated by Russian aircraft five times this year, nearing the total count of seven over the previous eight years.
Finland has had five violations of its airspace this year against an annual average of one to two in the previous decade, while Sweden last week suffered what Carl Bildt called the "most serious airspace incursion" in his eight years as foreign minister.

#3  Putin is having fun in the vacuum left by O and Co. He will keep on pushing, like the Chicoms do in south China sea, when there is no push back.

Tribunal disqualifies PTI minister over fake degree
[DAWN] An election tribunal on Wednesday disqualified Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) provincial politician Ikramullah Gandapur on account of holding a fake degree.

Gandapur was serving as the provincial agricultural minister in the PTI-led Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central...
cabinet.

He was elected through a bye-election on the Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
PK-67 seat, after it was vacated following the death of his brother Law Minister Israrulah Gandapur in a suicide kaboom.

Ikramullah's rival candidate Fatehullah Miankhel had challenged his election before the returning officer, who forwarded it to the election tribunal for decision.

The election tribunal judge Syed Yayahi Zahid Gilani, deciding the case in favour of Fatehullah Miankhel, disqualified Gandapur for his fake degree which he presented before the election tribunal.
