Let’s hope the sequel is better than the original.
Hillary Clinton is a Liar and a Loser
That’s what Peggy Noonan’s column in the Wall Street Journal should have been called, but instead it’s Getting Mrs. Clinton.
And get her she certainly does. Note to Hillary Supporters: You aren’t going to like this op-ed piece, but there’s a lot of truth in it. Enjoy!
Indian minister attacks biofuels
Finance Minister P Chidambaram rails against biofuels, saying it is an “outrageous” and “uncaring” policy that shows the “lopsided priorities” of the west.
We at Rebel agree with half of this sentiment; however it is important to note that some plants used to produce biofuels do not affect food prices.

Anbar: U.S. trophy for Iraq security losing its shine

“…many say that growing anger at a lack of jobs, basic services and political progress threatens to shatter peace in the western province, which makes up about a third of Iraq.”
Wasn’t the point of the surge to buy time for political progress?
Abuse of [little] Power
“Isaac R. Baichu, 46, an adjudicator for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, was arrested after he met with a green card applicant at the Flagship Restaurant, a diner in Queens. He is charged with coercing oral sex from her.”
Ever wonder what could possibly make illegal immigrants bypass the system and sneak into the U.S.?
Dealing with lecherous, low-level immigration agents who seek to abuse the little power they have and take advantage of the “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
Isaac R. Baichu, you are What’s Wrong With America.
