Imagine the uproar if President Bush had unilaterally launched air attacks against Libya's Moammar Gadhafi.

But since it's Mr. Obama's finger on the trigger, Democratic leaders in Congress have kept quiet - demonstrating that their opposition to presidential power during the Bush years was political, not principled.

Interesting guy, John Woo.

Here he is enjoying the company of Jon Stewart.

“The proposed budget cuts from the Obama administration and Congress are jokes.

They are woefully inadequate.

And polls this week revealed that even many self-identified Tea Party members have no desire to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits.

The weaker the political will to enact painful budget reforms, the faster the federal debt will grow.

The faster the debt grows, the more the Fed will be pressured to monetize, which boosts the money supply.

The further the money supply grows, the more urgency investors around the globe will feel to buy gold, silver, and other hard assets.”

Click the photo below to link up to the facebook page of the NASA Solar Dynamics Laboratory for a video of "a huge filament of megnetism and hot plasma blasting off in the Sun's southwestern limb around 1200 UT" yesterday.

We have not clue one with regards to what that means, but it's a pretty cool vid.

And best of all, it only takes two seconds.

You have time to watch it twice.
