Newsmax.com is reporting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blew up at the U.S. ambassador last month because he was “at wits’ end” over what he sees as the Obama administration’s lack of clarity on Iran’s nuclear program.

I’m Amazing
Michelle Obama just called me amazing. It was in an email. She then asked for three bucks.
Sorry Michelle. I had to put it in the gas tank.
Too Frequent, Too Painful
By Pat Carfagno
It happens all too frequently. When it does, it is painful. Folks regularly question the disability. “You’re not really sick”, “You don’t need that cane”. “Wish I was a sick as you”, “How could a person who is handicapped drive THAT car” (5 speed two seater). “You look great, you’re about as sick as that Ann Romney, I can tell”. “If you are sick, why do you walk such a big dog?”
It begs the questions, “What does Cancer look like?” “What does a transplant recipient look like?” “What does MS look like?” “What does epilepsy look like?” “What does loneliness look like?”
Yes, my presence often brings with it inconveniences to others about which I can be extremely self-conscious and concerned for how that presence changes peoples experiences. There are truly people that would prefer you stay hidden. I like to think that they are the way they are because your presence reminds them of their own vulnerability. The thought that they or a loved one could be a walking disability time bomb must be quickly dismissed to preserve their comfy world view.
They do not want to have to think about such unpleasantries.
Trust me, we do not demand your help, we just don’t want you to make things more difficult.
So please, the next time anyone feels the need to comment on someones appearance, manner or speech, check the man in the mirror. None of us gets out of this life in mint condition.

Some Thoughts About The Last Night Of The Dem Convention
Obama looked bad the last night in Charlotte. His tone was pleading and excuse making and not very leader-like.
Cardinal Dolan, in his benediction, gave the speech Bob Casey Sr. would have given 20 years ago. The Fox camera panned the crowd showing many devoutly praying with him. Hopefully, he inspires a change of heart in the party. “Sluts” really aren’t a winning constituency.
