Exactly, GZ. Plus, don't forget the repeated reports from insiders about Congress and the SCOTUS refusing to investigate Obama because they fear Black riots. The United States is basically held hostage by the fear of riots from the angry descendants of African slaves. This situation is extremely out of control. -ng-

David Letterman Beefs Up Security After Jihadist Threat ......................................................................................................... By Allison McGevna August 19, 2011 foxnews.com Days after a jihadist had made violent threats against him, late-night comedian David Letterman tightened security at the Manhattan theater where he tapes his “Late Show.” A source told the New York Post Friday that additional security precautions were taken at the Ed Sullivan Theater after a Muslim extremist called for Letterman's tongue to be cut out on Shumuka al-Islam forum, a popular Internet destination for radical Muslims. "Is there not among you a Sayyid Nosair al-Mairi ... to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever?" a user identified as Umar Al-Basrawi wrote, referring to El Sayyid Nosair, who was convicted of the 1990 killing of Jewish Defense League founder Meir Kahane. Letterman is not Jewish. A law enforcement official who asked to remain anonymous told FoxNews.com on Thursday that while the FBI suspects the post was made by a lone wolf, investigators were scrubbing the site where the threat was posted and conducting database searches to see if the individual was already on their radar. But a longtime television writer and producer told FOX411.com that he was not surprised at the reaction Letterman received from the extremist community. “I always say, you cannot reason a man out of a concept that he has not been reasoned into,” Jerry Perzigian told FOX411. According to Perzigian, Letterman’s team of writers is not likely to back down or censor any of their material in light of the recent threats made against him. “He milked the Sarah Palin joke for days and the same with his sex scandal,” he said. “Today’s comedians will do anything for a laugh. I’m sure they will relish in it.” Muslim extremists have targeted several media figures. Last year, Comedy Central was forced to censor episodes of its show “South Park” after extremists made death threats against the show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone over an episode featuring a cartoon depiction of the prophet Muhammad. Author Salman Rushdie also spent years in hiding after Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini urged he be killed for blasphemy after writing the book "The Satanic Verses." Filmmaker Theo van Gogh was killed on an Amsterdam street in 2004 by a Dutch Muslim angered by his film "Submission," a fictional study of abused Muslim women. According to Perzigian, these threats will likely continue and could have an effect on the kind of material that comedians release. “While political correctness kills comedy, I think people are going to be more and more afraid of radical Islam, more so than other extremist groups,” he said. “These threats are not laughing matters.” Officials told FoxNews.com Thursday that if there was any reason to believe that the threat would actually be carried out, the FBI would intercede and mitigate the threat. A rep for Letterman did not respond to request for comment from FOX411. Read more: foxnews.com

New Frog Crossing Signs Creating Controversy ................................................................................................................ by: Chris Conte 8/16/2011 http://www.13wham.com/news/local/story/Frog-Crossing-Signs-New-York/5gIo-IE0f0ak3klSzLayAw.cspx Sodus, N.Y. - New signs warning drivers of frogs crossing the road in Wayne County aren't sitting well with local officials. "During these economic times, this is just absurd," says Sodus Town Supervisor Steve LeRoy. "New York State is laying people off and we're trying to find money for water, and construction projects. It's ridiculous." LeRoy says the new "Frog Crossing" signs are the result of a new state ordinance by the New York State Parks and Recreation Department. "I just can't imagine anybody stopping their vehichle for a frog," he adds. The signs, much like moose or deer crossing signs, are bright, reflective, attention-grabbing yellow. Hikers near Chimney Bluff State Park were a little perplexed as to why the signs were put in. "It's a little odd, but we're in New York State, you gotta expect these things," said Randy Warbick who was walking with a friend on Monday afternoon. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation indicated Monday it was unclear whether or not any species of frogs in the Wayne County area are endangered--which in Steve LeRoy's opinion--might have warranted the signs. "Obviously our state taxpayers are paying for this."

MSNBC Gives a Violent Racist a TV Show ...................................................................................... August 18, 2011 by Daniel Greenfield frontpagemag.com Imagine if MSNBC gave a TV show to a violent racist who led angry mobs against Jewish and Asian communities and businesses. Mobs that gathered outside a Jewish synogogue chanting "Heil Hitler" and "Death to Jews." Unimaginable, right? Wrong. After years of accusing Fox of racism, MSNBC gave a violent racist his own show. Of course MSNBC would never give a white racist like David Duke his own show. But they have no problem giving one to Al Sharpton. snip
