    ...have done it again.

    Carter, Arafat, Obama, and now...Tawakkul Karman.

    Peace Prize Winner’s Troubling Affiliation

    This year, three women won the Nobel Peace Prize: Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee and Yemeni activist Tawakkul Karman. Kudos to all three, but perhaps it’s time to ask Karman about Islah, the political party to which news reports say she belongs. Back in 2010, The New York Times’ Steve Erlanger did a feature on Al Eman University in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a:

    This university, the size of a village, was founded in 1993 by Sheik Abdul Majid al-Zindani, a revered spiritual leader, theological adviser to Osama bin Laden and co-founder of the main Yemeni opposition party, Islah. In 2004, the United States Treasury put Mr. Zindani on a list of “specially designated global terrorists” for suspected fund-raising for Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.
    Perhaps it’s time to ask the latest Nobel Laureate about the links between the party to which she pays allegiance and Al Qaeda, and her thoughts about the late Bin Laden? Then again, even if she were to embrace the terrorist leader, it’s still par for the course when it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize.obel Peace Prize.

    I can't take this seriously, Yoni, not just because you posted it (which is reason enough), but because the liberal media was cited.

    I'm crushed. It was you, specifically, I was hoping would take this seriously.

    I know, but I just can't legitimize such ridiculousness. I'm sorry I had to do that to you, but you have no one to blame but yourself.

    The Nobel committee is richer than yoni and it's all yoni's fault.

    Surprised you included Carter and left out Gore.

    Not surprised you left out Kissinger.

    Yoni should begin his sentences the way his new hero Herman Cain does, "I don’t have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe..."

    http://thinkprogress.org/economy/201...lame-yourself/

    Newsflash though, Yoni: Herman Cain is not a fan of people who aren't rich. They only have themselves to blame.

    Stop playing the victim card then, Yoni. Why aren't you rich? Blame yourself!

    Who's playing a victim card?

    I'm not in the 1% but, I'm damn not a part of this 99% (in reality about .05%) nonsense, either. I'm perfectly happy with my success.

    Cain would tell you he's not working hard enough... and it's only his fault.

    the usual: arresting bad guys, breaking up criminal organizations, solving cold cases, getting his partner (who's perpetually one week away from retirement) into all kinds of crazy predicaments

    Oh, it's a holiday. I'm sure government employees who hate the government have a paid day off.

    Just remember to blame yourself if you ever get into an accident, are forced to retire and require regular medical procedures which drain your savings.

    IIRC, yoni is/was a government employee. Sucking from the government teat won't be foreign to him.

    Been in more than my share over the years.

    ...are forced to retire...
    Already drawing one annuity, have two retirement plans I haven't even touched and am gainfully employed for, at least, the next 20 years -- if I choose.

    ...and require regular medical procedures which drain your savings.
    Insurance, ain't it great? How's that Obamacare working out for everybody?

    If I ever get in a financial crack, for the reasons you mention, it won't be because I didn't prepare.
