Interestingly, after all these years I'm still capable of being shocked by truly willful, egregious lies in our public discourse. Spin -- even really bad, dishonest spin -- is one thing, but what you'll see in the video to your right is something else altogether.
Ever eager to push paranoia, G. Gordon Liddy unleashes some unfounded accusations. Post Tools G.
The movement is a sinister attempt to paint Obama as illegitimate, foreign, and suspect. Why are pundits like Lou Dobbs taking it seriously?
Today, a meeting of Asian leaders in Thailand turned into the set of "Mean Girls": North Korea called the Secretary of State a "funny lady" who "looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping." Ouch.

This will not make sense to many of you... but if you ever crewed an aicraft, you'll be delighted. It may have some interest for other military maintenance types as well - but bears no relation to NASCAR
