Osama To Al-Qaeda: 'Don't Bother Assassinating Joe Biden'

Trivial though it may be, how could we not post this story...

US officials have revealed that Osama bin Laden’s diaries contain the rather startling conclusion that he didn’t think Vice President Joe Biden was worth bumping off (hat tip: a tweet from my New York colleague Jon Swaine).

According to ProPublica, the Obama administration is briefing that Barack Obama was bin Laden’s the “top target” (no surprise there) while “military chiefs like the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the defense secretary” were also major scalps.

But Joe Biden’s scalp (hair plugs and all)? Apparently, not so much. A counterterrorism official said: “There is a note indicating that the vice president is not an important target because that position has less weight.”

Funniest headline I've seen in 29 months of running the site...

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — A bipartisan group of nine senators plans to introduce legislation Thursday that’s designed to pressure a new consumer-protection agency and states involved in foreclosure settlement talks with big banks to take action to help troubled borrowers on the verge of foreclosure.

The bill will be introduced by Sens. Jeff Merkley, (D., Ore.), Olympia Snowe (R., Maine), Richard Durbin (D., Ill.), Jack Reed (D., R.I). and five additional Democratic lawmakers, according to people familiar with the legislation.

It would force banks using an Obama administration program to modify mortgages to have one point of contact with borrowers.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's 'JetMan' in a daring 8-minute flight over Grand Canyon... And this time he actually made it

Did OBL do anything that was in his diary?

Was it created by Bilderbergers to justify building Obama's civilian army, the TSA? Now Schumer is using this opportunity to grow the TSA even bigger. All this is being done to get the country ready for Obamacare. Hillary talked about the enforcement mechanisms needed for Obamacare. Yes, it gets uglier and uglier.

Mitchell resigning isn't meant to be funny or a joke. This is very serious in light of the upcoming AIPAC conference in Washington on the 22nd.

she doesn't do a bad job herself.
divide and conquer doesn't just troll the muslim world.

it trolls the jewish world cause rothschild is for red shield or banker to the pope
which is why the wahabbis (Saudi Royal family) are Rothschilds
and why Rupert Murdoch is a partner with the Rothschilds in taking
Syrian oil from the Golan Heights.

Leading families are heavily gay because they insist on
the gay gene not being recognized.

They can't, lest they lose their power of divide and conquer and
arrogance and judging to enslave.

Murdoch/Rothschild hired Effie Eitan, a muslim exterminating grade rabbi,
for their oil field foreman.
