    So, Huckabee took the spotlight from Cruz at the rally? Oh well, round is around the corner ..

    Iran has discovered an unexpectedly high reserve of uranium and will soon begin extracting the radioactive element at a new mine, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation said on Saturday.

    The comments cast doubt on previous assessments from some Western analysts who said the country had a low supply and would sooner or later would need to import uranium, the raw material needed for its nuclear program.
    …
    Some Western analysts have previously said that Iran was close to exhausting its supply of yellowcake – or raw uranium – and that mining it domestically was not cost-efficient.

    A report published in 2013 by U.S. think-tanks Carnegie Endowment and the Federation of American Scientists said the scarcity and low quality of Iran’s uranium resources compelled it “to rely on external sources of natural and processed uranium”.

    It added: “Despite the Iranian leadership’s assertions to the contrary, Iran’s estimated uranium endowments are nowhere near sufficient to supply its planned nuclear program.”

    Good thing we’ll be able to verify that Iran isn’t importing any more fissionable material than it’s permitted to import.

    Judicial Watch’s intrusive demand to look at emails of baby clothes fashions passed between grandmother Hillary Clinton and mother Huma Abedin allowed to proceed:

    The motion for a stay was in conjunction with a request for appointment of a coordinating judge to handle numerous FOIA cases involving Hillary’s emails. While purportedly filed to increase court efficiency, it looked like a naked attempt to take the case away from Judge Sullivan.

    In a ruling that was just posted, Judge Sullivan denied the motion for a stay, and asserted his right to control his own docket:

    High school diplomas in California becoming participation trophies.

    Under SB172 students who failed the California High School Exit Exam since it debuted in 2006 would be eligible to receive their diplomas if they met all other graduation requirements. The bill, which is supported by the California Department of Education, also suspends the Exit Exam for the next three years while the state considers updating it to reflect the Common Core standards now being taught.

    In a sure sign that Democrats and their corporate masters are getting nervous about Bernie Sanders, the DOJ pinky swears it will go after corporate crooks next time they do any no-nos like rob the public blind.

    the DOJ pinky swears it will go after corporate crooks next time they do any no-nos like rob the public blind.

    While corporate crooks are in DOJ’s crosshairs, Clinton crooks

    The Huma Files: Feds investigated top Hillary Clinton aide for embezzlement

    The FBI was first alerted that the IG was conducting a “criminal investigation” of Ms. Abedin in a memo dated Oct. 22, 2013, the records show.

    After 15 months of extensive document-gathering and interviews, the IG submitted the case for review by the Justice Department public integrity division, which declined to prosecute Ms. Abedin. The “alleged violations” cited were improperly requesting and approving annual leave and “embezzlement,” the documents state.

    “The case was not declined based on the merits of the investigation,” stated the final investigative report, dated Jan. 26.

    not so much.

    @3 “Good thing we’ll be able to verify that Iran isn’t importing any more fissionable material than it’s permitted to import.”

    No problem, the GOP will just fabricate another yellowcake story, when not busy outing covert CIA agents.

  9. 9

    @7 Yes, let’s focus all of our nation’s investigative resources on trying to get something, at least a misdemeanor, on a Clinton associate. The bankers, PP arsonists, and al Qaeda will thank you.

    Let me add, this DOJ proclamation comes seven years after the last raid on the public’s money. Statute of limitations and all.

    I clicked on the “Rogue guns” link. The best part was the commercial at the beginning for the 2016 Ford Explorer.

  14. 14

    Ahh, yeahz, Pennsyltucky, where calling the Police to report a violent crime is considered abusing one’s privileges as a Citizen, and grounds for summary banishment from the community.

    Gotta love those little east coast teabagger towns.

    King County, and specifically Seattle has a similar rule, although unwritten. After calling the Seattle Police twice, and the Seattle Fire Department three times in about 5 years, I was told, in no uncertain terms by a Sergeant in the SPD, to stop abusing the 911 system and I could be arrested the next time I tried calling it.

  15. 15

    @14,

    Maybe you shouldn’t call 911 for a while. Give it a year or two before you call it again.

  18. 18

    @15 She didn’t, but it didn’t do her any good. When her ex-boyfriend hit her with a brick, and she had to be airlifted to a hospital, someone else made the 911 call. The town counted it as a “strike” against her anyway. What she should have done was gotten a gun for self-defense and killed the fucker with the brick. But that, too, would have resulted in the police being called, strike three, and eviction. In the end, her best option was calling the ACLU, suing the town, and collecting a $495,000 settlement from its insurers.

  22. 22

    @2 I didn’t read the whole article about the boy whose father abused him – but 4 week old babies don’t hold bottles……some people are dumber than rocks. Yes, in the name of Jesus – was it South Carolina? The Bible Belt,

  26. 26

    @3 maybe we should send Dick Cheeney over there and take all the uranium like we took all the oil from Iraq.

  27. 27

    @19 You’re soft compared to your conservative forebears of a century ago. They would have called out the National Guard and mowed down the strikers with machine guns.

    Once again the HA DUMMOCRETIN’s favorite ASSwipe proves his bona fides as an ASSwipe again… http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2015.....n-twitter/

    The Daily Beast article he linked to makes no mention whatsoever of Breitbart. Because the troll never wrote for Breibart. The article did list the websites Joshua Goldberg wrote for under various pseudonyms, and one of those websites happens to be…the Daily Kos.

    SLAM!
    SMACK!
    TAKEDOWN!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  34. 34

    Once again libtardoism running amok… Give Puddy a break! That excuse is outright laughable. A prayer equals “persecuting” Planned Parenthood? What will libtards claim next? Proselytizing Office Depot staff who read the flyer?

    How cum this wasn’t on the Friday Night Comix list? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/officials-fear-cia-missed-opportunity-to-identify-western-hostage/2015/09/10/6a159bf6-571e-11e5-b8c9-944725fcd3b9_story.html Remember when Obummer said he “directed that the existence of this operation be declassified and disclosed publicly. I did so because the Weinstein and Lo Porto families deserve to know the truth.” Well now the real truth comes out 8 months later…

    But the Weinsteins say the CIA has not provided any details about its ongoing investigation. “The Obama administration has mishandled this entire incident,” Elaine Weinstein said. Recently she said she learned from the U.S. government that her husband’s body had been removed from his grave in Pakistan. “They were aware that the terrorists stole Warren’s body from his grave and allowed those cruel people to desecrate his remains without doing anything to intervene,” she said. “I just don’t know how much more I can take.”

    PuddyCommentary: As long as there is no political advantage for Obummer to exploit, nothing will be done. Since Obummer can’t run to a TOTUS and make a big speech on it claiming “I directed” or “I did” or “I called” or “I told” the cover-up will always take precidence!

    Puddy uses many news papers checkmate @35… Witness the posts above!

    checkmate checkmated by checkmate again! DUMB as evah!

  38. 38

    Much like when Piddles drops in to talk about a single day in the stock market, it was Monday I think last week, but then the Dow was up for the full week….

    For some reason he’s deeply invested in Colbert not doing well and wants to point to the night Fallon had Trump on as proof that it is happening.

    Not so much…

    IN ITS THIRD BROADCAST, THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT AVERAGED 3.3/8, UP FROM 3.2/8 ON WEDNESDAY
    · LATE SHOW WAS UP +65% COMPARED TO THE SAME NIGHT LAST YEAR (ADJUSTED 2.0/6, DELAYED DUE TO PREMIERE OF CBS +NFLN THURS NIGHT FOOTBALL)

  39. 39

    checkmate checkmated by FACTS again… Trainwreck style…

    Well since the WA Times wasn’t found in the thread above… gotta change the subject fast… So now it’s the stock market…
    And naturally there is no link… Puddy provides links!

    http://deadline.com/2015/09/ji.....201522644/

    The Trump episode marked Fallon’s biggest total-viewer margin (28%) over CBS’s four-day-old The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (Colbert’s Tuesday night debut beat Fallon by 55%, then slipped each night to second place by margins of 11%, 10% and Friday’s 28%. Friday’s Colbert, with guest Amy Schumer, was watched by 3.5 million.

    BTW checkmate… the market tanked Monday and Wednesday. Still way down from three weeks ago checkmate… http://www.marketwatch.com/inv.....style=1013

    Seems FACTS and checkmate are NEVER in the same room!

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!

  42. 42

    · LATE SHOW WAS UP +65% COMPARED TO THE SAME NIGHT LAST YEAR

    Comparing the late show to the late show… Yeah that’s the ticket checkmate!

    Did crackerjack have a coupon for a “doctor” certificate dr checkmate. Those crackerjack surfing skillz are “precious”!

  43. 43

    Meanwhile another best seller not initially acknowledged by the NY Slimes; which hates conservative books! http://www.amazon.com/dp/1451606303/

    If you search the NY Slimes best seller weekly lists, the New York Slimes, pretended Levin’s book didn’t really exist for a week of phenomenal sales. Just another ironic confirmation of one of Plunder’s central theses… Libtards will do anything and everything to bury the truth!

    If Hillary wants to stop her slide in the polls, she should finally do what I said she should do back when Bernie said it. She should say she will break up the “too big to fail” banks. But I just don’t think she has the guts. She keeps presenting me with problems instead of solutions. I don’t like it.

    Too damn funny this Trump clown.. The clown is “waging class warfare”…

    Billionaire real estate developer Donald Trump says it’s “disgraceful” how much money CEOs of big companies are making, but there’s not much you can do about it..

    “It does bug me,” Trump said. “It’s very hard if you have a free enterprise system to do anything about that. You know, the boards of companies are supposed to do it, but I know companies very well and the CEO puts in all of his friends.”

    He cited Macy’s, which cut ties with him after his controversial comments about immigrants from Mexico, saying, “They put in their friends as the head of the company and they get whatever they want.”

    http://www.politico.com/story/.....ceo-213584

    Does Breitbart still support the clown Trump? The stupid klownservatic base believe if the rich’s taxes are raised, their taxes are soon to follow!

    It’s too damn funny to see the always wrong wing twist itself into knots supporting the clown Trump!

  69. 69

    Does Breitbart still support the clown Trump?

    Seems the arschloch is aping over Breitbart again! Such an arschloch!

    @42

    Uhhh, how do you tell if any product of any kind is doing better now than it was before?

    One way is to say last year at this time we sold 100 items. This year we sold 165 items.

    I know. Basic math is hard for you but in the case of CBS and selling advertisers….

    3.5 million people watching The Late Show in September 2016 is worth more than 2..2 million people watching in 2015. See how it works?

    CBS is likely happy with the increase in viewership. Of course they would prefer to be number one but a 68& increase is nothing to sneer at.

    Meanwhile, you’re happy that more people were watching Fallon make an absolute ASS out of the current spokesperson for the Republican Party?

  73. 73

    @69 All you have to do is disavow Breitbart and we’ll never mention it again. Or, at least, not as often.

  74. 74

    @67 Sure we can do something about it: End the free tax ride on stock options. CEOs weren’t always overpaid like this. It happened when GOP changes to the tax code made these practices irresistible.

  75. 75

    @65 They love Republicans even more, so that means you’ll vote Democratic, amiright?

  76. 76

    Carson is a very good doctor, but doesn’t know shit about running a government or conducting foreign relations. I’m a government lawyer, and I don’t know shit about neurosurgery, but that’s not a problem because I don’t try to do neurosurgery. Carson, on the other hand, is a potential problem because he wants the job of negotiating with Iran.

  77. 77

    “All you have to do is disavow Breitbart and we’ll never mention it again. Or, at least, not as often.”

    3.5 million people watching The Late Show in September 2016 is worth more than 2..2 million people watching in 2015. See how it works?

    – HAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Who cares who is watching from year to year crackerjack doc? It’s how Colbert does against the competition NOW! BTW Puddy didn’t watch Fallon. And since Trump didn’t attack Fallon later it must have been A-OK for The Donald!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    DAYUM U B Weally Stoooooooopid.

    @69 All you have to do is disavow Breitbart and we’ll never mention it again. Or, at least, not as often.

    Obummer was a very good community organizer, but he didn’t know shit about running a government or conducting foreign relations.

    Thanks early onset senile schismatic IDIOT Wabbit!

    @65 They love Republicans even more

    Wrong again early onset senile schismatic IDIOT Wabbit! Apparently in your senility you forgot this from the Politico leftists… http://www.politico.com/magazi.....ary-112782

    But here’s the strange thing: Down on Wall Street they don’t believe it for a minute. While the finance industry does genuinely hate Warren, the big bankers love Clinton, and by and large they badly want her to be president. Many of the rich and powerful in the financial industry—among them, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman, Tom Nides, a powerful vice chairman at Morgan Stanley, and the heads of JPMorganChase and Bank of America—consider Clinton a pragmatic problem-solver not prone to populist rhetoric. To them, she’s someone who gets the idea that we all benefit if Wall Street and American business thrive. What about her forays into fiery rhetoric? They dismiss it quickly as political maneuvers. None of them think she really means her populism.

    And Puddy knows you forgot this in 2009 http://www.salon.com/2009/04/30/ownership/

    Former Barney Frank staffer now top Goldman Sachs lobbyist

    Goldman Sachs’ new top lobbyist was recently the top staffer to Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., on the House Financial Services Committee chaired by Frank. Michael Paese, a registered lobbyist for the Securities Industries and Financial Markets Association since he left Frank’s committee in September, will join Goldman as director of government affairs, a role held last year by former Tom Daschle intimate, Mark Patterson, now the chief of staff at the Treasury Department. This is not Paese’s first swing through the Wall Street-Congress revolving door: he previously worked at JP Morgan and Mercantile Bankshares, and in between served as senior minority counsel at the Financial Services Committee.

    Dodd -Frank ring a bell you nitwit? You see that senility needs immediate medical attention!

    @81

    Every bean counter at CBS cares a great deal. Les Moonves cares a great deal. Everyone in Ad Sales at CBS headquarters cares a great deal. Every Ad Sales guy at every CBS affiliate in the country cares a great deal.

    It’s amazing that anyone needs to explain this to you like you are five years old. Here’s how it works. Media advertising sales rates are based on the number of people watching/listening at any given time. That’s why running a Super Bowl ad is the most you could ever spend because it is the single most watched broadcast in the U.S. in any calendar year. You are the Ad Sales guy at KREM in Spokane. You make a base salary + commission. In 2014-15 you charged $1000 for a local company, say Vern Fonk Insurance, to run a 30 second ad during The Late Show with David Letterman. Now that 65% more people are watching in that same timeslot in 2015-2015 you will be able to charge $1100 for a local company to run a 30 second ad on The Late Show with Steven Colbert. Pencil that out, extra hundred dollars, one local ad per commercial break, 7 breaks per episode, 5 episodes/week, that’s over $182,000/year that KREM wasn’t getting last year. (numbers assumed/simplified for the sake of easy math) But nah, they wouldn’t care about that at KREM the ONLY thing that’s important is beating Fallon.

    Did the commission for the Ad Sales guy at KREM go up or down?

    Piddles, “But no one cares. I see that Colbert is failing. I know this to be true. It was on my Grape Juice bottle kiddie quiz. Second place is worthless!”

  86. 86

    Blah blah blah from dr checkmate. Nuthin ventured nuthin gained eh? Ratings are measured by your show against the competition. The age demographic draw determines how much you can charge per commercial minute. DAYUM U R dense as spent uranium!

    So what his debut was high then dropped dr checkmate sez. It’s what happened now against what happened with Dave a year ago.

    1) Dave was stale
    2) Dave’s show was stale
    3) Dave allowed his political views to dominate the show
    4) Dave had stale guests

    This is absolutely lost on checkmate. In fact, FACTS are always lost on the crackerjack boxtop doc, dr checkmate!

  87. 87

    IMHO puddy wants Colbert to fail because Colbert spent so many years mocking conservatives

  88. 88

    @86

    Again, Piddleworld. Piddles can’t imagine a topic on which he doesn’t know everything. If that were the case, Why did Trump’s show continue to air when after season one it was never again the highest rated show in it’s timeslot? Why does NBC keep producing “Shark Tank” when it loses to a rerun of “Big Bank Theory?” (Hint, it doesn’t cost a lot to produce and it attracts enough eyeballs to justify advertising sales.)

    There are more people watching the new Colbert show in the coveted demographic than were watching Dave a year ago.

    The age demographic draw determines how much you can charge per commercial minute.

    Precisely. CBS and CBS local affiliates are charging more now. They are making more money.

    Thank you for actually agreeing with my point. I know you didn’t see it coming Piddles because you’re too thick but you actually proved my point.

    Colbert is currently a success for CBS. It is making them more money.

    How long are you going to keep up pretending you know anything about the Television Industry?

  89. 89

    Further translated Piddleworld

    Coca-Cola is the world’s #1 softdrink company so clearly Pepsi is a failure and never makes a dime.

    Radisson is part of the world’s largest and most succesful hotel corporation. Clearly no one ever stays at a Hilton and they are a failure.

    The Toyota Corolla is the best selling car in the world. When I see someone driving a Ford F-150 I sneer because that is only the best selling car in the U.S. and there is no money in second place.

  90. 90

    Wow another trainwreck @89. Now we are on Coke and Pepsi… Seems even you have a problem with the above argument that it CAN NOT stand on it’s own merits!

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!

    You wrote it!

  91. 91

    Oh poor deluded Piddles…

    You would think that someone who spends as much time with the New Testament as you claim to do would understand the concept of metaphor and simile like @98.

    Oh, sorry, I forgot. You think your version of the Bible is a literal document. Grape Juice and all that.
