Exclusive: FBI details surge in death threats against lawmakers Its not surprising that many of the death threats are against Dems. The Rs have a sense of entitlement that was seriously upended after the 2008 election. They don't like feeling powerless. I would like to see how the US compares with other developed nations in terms of the number of death threats against its leaders. I would not be surprised if its worse.

This funny.....the UK Guardian is doing a live blog on the top kill.....this is their 5 PM entry: 5pm: Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, holds a press conference but because of his habit of speaking at such a rapid pace that youcanbarelyunderstandhim it's hard to tell what he wants, other than more resources, or as Bobby calls it, "moreresources", or even "moresources".

And then there is this.......Americans need to shut up and do less whining and thinking until the well is plugged. And once that is done we need to be using our creative thinking to find ways to get off oil: 3.28pm: Wow, CNN anchor Rick Sanchez is asking a retired admiral some very silly questions, such as why can't we use our nuclear submarines? (Because they couldn't do anything, the admiral says gently.) But then Sanchez goes one step further in demanding to know why the US military aren't being used in the Gulf right now: We see our guys over there solving the problems of the Iraqis ... and now it's our country that's in need, why can't we use those boots on the ground to solve our problems in our country? Who needs Fox News when CNN has comedy gold like that? Meanwhile this blog is a hoot: guardian.co.uk
