Carrie Underwood wedding dress photo

“The wedding dress was huge,” Carrie Underwood tells us in this week#39;s issue. “I wanted to get my boogie on, so I had to change.” Make no mistake: Carrie Underwood means business when it comes to getting her groove on. For her July 10 wedding to Canadian hockey player Mike Fisher, 30, the country queen, 27, opted for a Chantilly lace and silk organza Monique Lhuillier gown. But after the ceremony, the bride promptly changed into a strapless Lhuillier cocktail dress. Also looking sharp for

GORDON DUFF: CLASSIFIED CIA TRANSCRIPT COUNTERS BIN LADEN TERROR ROLE : Veterans Today

DOUBT THROWN ON PROOF BIN LADEN A TERRORIST LEADER By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor Two weeks ago, CIA Director Leon Panetta told the press the CIA had not been able to positively confirm any specific information on Osama bin Laden since “late 2000.” Interviews with high ranking military and intelligence officials, some at the highest levels, have confirmed that all evidence lends toward Osama bin Laden’s death in December 2001. Yet transcripts of translated audio and video tapes, albeit widely disputed, are continually released by a news agency tied to Israeli intelligence services. The transcripts of the last proven bin Laden interview, translated by the CIA, are compared to similar translations of a 2007 “broadcast” said to be by Osama bin Laden. Both are excerpted for length but not content. Striking differences between the two “bin Ladens” is obvious. In 2007, in a lengthy admonition, no mention of Israel is made whatsoever, nor of Palestine. In fact, the bin Laden of 2007 seems to be totally oblivious of Israel. We will begin with the CIA document, one that directly disputes claims made by the media for years. We thank the Central Intelligence Agency for making this document available. With dozens of films, videos and recordings, all claiming Osama bin Laden has taken credit for 9/11 and other terrorist attacks against America, Britain, Spain and other nations, the possession of the only official translation of the real Osama bin Laden is vital. What you are going to be reading is both astounding and frightening. More at the link: added by: Monkey_Films

Mika Brzezinski: People Are Going to Have to ‘Get Used To" the Idea of Having Their Social Security Gutted | Video Cafe

I haven't listened much to Mika in the past but she being the daughter of one of our best minds in the country scares me a little. Gutting social security! What in gods name are they trying to prepare us for now. If the intellectuals in this country are going to destroy social security for a highly bloated defense budget then I guess it will be a bloody revolution. added by: kennymotown

Democratic Leadership All Agree. If Obama Weren’t Black He Never Would Have Been Elected!

“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”“Every time that campaign is upset about something, they call it racist,” she said. “I will not be discriminated against because I’m white. If they think they’re going to shut up Geraldine Ferraro with that kind of stuff, they don’t know me.”…Geraldine Ferraro.
