This week on
CounterSpin
: Is Venezuela really a threat to the security of the United States, as the White House has declared? And if not, what can be the point of such a statement? We’ll get an accounting about what seems to be threatening Washington from activist and author Alfredo Lopez, of May First/People Link.

Why the fuq is our great pal Israel spying on us, and why haven't I seen this story on FOX/MSNBC/CNN???
Report: Israel Spied on Iran Talks, Shared Info with U.S. Lawmakers
A new report accuses
Israel
of spying on nuclear talks between
Iran
, the United States and other world powers. According to The Wall Street Journal, the White House learned of the spying last year shortly after the negotiations opened. Citing unnamed U.S. officials, the Journal said the White House was not upset by the spying as much as it was by Israel’s decision to share inside information from the talks with U.S. lawmakers, as part of a campaign to derail the talks. Israel has denied the allegations, which come as the Obama administration is already criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his pre-election vow to block a Palestinian state. On Monday, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to the two-state solution.
Denis McDonough
: "In the end, we know what a peace agreement should look like. The borders of Israel and an independent Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps. Each state needs secure and recognized borders, and there must be robust provisions that safeguard Israel’s security. An occupation that has lasted for almost 50 years must end."

Netanyahu has tried to walk back his disavowal of the two-state solution. On Monday, he also sought to walk back his election day warning Arab voters were flocking to the polls "in droves."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
: "I know that the things I said a few days ago offended Israel’s Arabs. I had no intention for this to happen. I regret this. My actions as prime minister, including the great investments in the minority sectors, prove the total opposite. Equally,
I think it’s forbidden that any foreign body will intervene in the processes of our democracy."


btw: Isn't that last line by Bibi's just delicious isn't it?​

It's all political pandering... Even when Hugo Chavez was President, the USA is the number one exporter of oil from Venezuela. They are number 4 on our oil import list. All this doesn't mean s---.... Just like with Iran, if we can break a deal the price of oil goes down to levels not seen since the 90's...

Are you suggesting oil might have something to do with this?
Are you suggesting our leaders would compromise our relationship with a nation that has never attacked us for business reasons?
How dare you sir. Why do you hate the troops so?

I don't think they are going to do anything... Even if they say they will do, nothing will change.

Why are so many people into running marathons now? Is it the 26.2 stickers on the back of cars? Everybody - and I mean everybody - describes the training process and the event itself as miserable as f---. Heck, 30 minutes 4 or 5 times a week sucks. f---ing 4 hours? Horrible.
Same thinking - Crossfit? What deep, spiritual, psychological, existential hole are these people trying to fill? It doesn't even make ladies look all that good. They all end up with the neck and shoulders of linebackers.
No offense if you run marathons and do cross fit. I obviously didn't mean you.

It's probably your age group.
I've noticed that in high school "everyone" played sports or had some kind of structured activity outside of school like band.
In college "everyone" partied and kind of slacked off without that structured extracirucilar activity to fall back on.
When you hit 25-40, "everyone" decides at some point they missed that structure and decide to set themselves a goal to work towards.
Marathons/half-marathons/10k's seem to be what post people pick. Why? I think part of it has to do wtih the fact that running isn't something you need to sign up for and attend classes at specific times for. You know you have to run "x" number of miles in the day, but you can pick when you run them.
Also, I do think the sticker and the bragging that comes along wtih it has something to do with it.
That's just my theory though.

You really like birds? I figured the avatar was some sort of ironic statement.
Interesting.
