I was watching Thomas Roberts at 5:30 ET on MSNBC and he carried a story from BuzzFeed, “Obama Aides Doubt Clinton Strategy.” I hadn’t read the article at the time but the MSNBC story was another case of a sensational headline not lining up with the facts.

The premise was that Secretary Clinton was making the same mistakes as her 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary bid and the MSNBC “way too early with thomas roberts” segment went on to quote two President Obama operatives and then to quote a third President Obama anonymous source. This was a haphazard and poorly put together concept whose sources did not say anything to support the premise.

Groomsmen and groom pray before wedding.

I attended a wedding Saturday that was the ceremony of dreams. The bride and groom laughed and joked during the entire ceremony with inside jokes almost speaking their own language. The groomsmen and their spouses arrived in Orlando early and made a mini vacation out of the event. As best man, I ran from pillar to post making sure that everything was just so from my end and my side of the family.

The air conditioning wasn't the greatest at this facility so those tuxedos were little sauna suits as we stood shifting our weight every so often as not to pass out. The minister was an older, dignified gentleman of Caribbean descent and there was both a distinguished character and a rhythmic quality in the words he delivered. After a few minutes, another minister came to the podium to deliver the charge and charged up, he left many but for an entirely different reason.

[UPDATE: THIS DIARY CONTAINS PROFANITY. MY APOLOGIES FOR NOT WARNING BEFORE. THANK YOU]

This will be a short diary seeking advice. I received a phone call this noon from a friend in another city that was watching a conversation between a mutual friend and an angry guy on Facebook.

The guy chimed into a comment thread between two people to say:

Matt Burns Cut this spanish shit out or take me off ur friend list... I cant stand going somewhere and hearing if much less being in the comfort of my home n not being able to read it....

From Yahoo News:

Helicopter crashes killed 14 Americans on Monday — 11 troops and three drug agents — in the deadliest day for the U.S. mission in Afghanistan in more than four years. The deaths came as President Barack Obama prepared to meet his national security team for a sixth full-scale conference on the future of the troubled war.

Arianna Huffington of Huffington Post fame argues that Vice President Joe Biden should resign from office if the President decides to escalate the war in Afghanistan.

I have an idea for how he can capitalize on all the attention, and do what generations to come will always be grateful for: resign.

I agree with Ms. Huffington, that one way he can capitalize on all the attention would be to resign.

We have been friends a long time, almost 30 years and I just can't see how you can support the most socialist president ever. As a white man that believes in equality, when he was first elected, even though I didn't vote for him, I said maybe with a black president we could make strides toward racial equality, that blacks would believe that it isn't always racism that is holding them back.

But, I would have believed this possible if he were executing the duties of the President based on the fundamentals of the Bible in accordance with the Constitution. We grew up together and although you were one of the smartest people I know, I cannot believe I have to remind you that the Constitution was not written to govern the people of this country but to protect our citizens by governing and limiting the power of the US government? Instead he is trampling on it like no other President in our country’s history.

So I figured since you are always recommending these diaries on your Facebook page, I would come here and appeal to you and maybe the weight of this forum would lend itself to a serious review of what I'm putting forth.

The eight years of the last administration were so horrific that at times it seemed it was the work of Hollywood writers, production and special effects ('Wag the WMD' notwithstanding). Could Congress and the President really be jetting back to Washington to pass legislation to stop a man from taking his wife off of life support? Did a top New Orleans official actually on cable news just say that he didn't know there were people in the Convention Center when we been following this rising catastrophe since Friday?

OTOH, the last eight years have brought us the opposite side of the pendulum as well. As horrific as the pictures of naked prisoners at Abu Ghraib or the thought of being imprisoned for life without redress, the hyperbolic, fearmongering, dangerous rhetoric of the right has told tales so incredible, in language so anguished and yet jaw-dropping, that all the horror writers need not pen another novel.

In that there isn't an Abbreviated Pundit Roundup, I had to read for myself. I usually leave the conservative pages to the qualified but since no one is chewing my food for me and regurgitating, I had to read those as well.

My wife called and asked what I was doing; she could hear MSNBC in the background. In Denver on business and at Kinko's, I told her that the stock market was down 200 points in the first ten minutes and that they were discussing Palin's $150K wardrobe purchases and that Alaska spent $21K on travel for her children to be with her.

My wife sighed and I told her that it was the fault of the Republican Party, selling Republicans a bill of goods that couldn't be further from the truth. Selling Bush and McCain/Palin as of the people while Obama is a latte sipper and Kerry a windsurfer is how they operate. Win at any cost.

Senator Dorgan is doing an incredible job of explaining the mortgage meltdown.

Short diary. Will add quote summaries.

He is now saying that he wished that he had not been right with the merging of banking with speculative instruments.

My sister called me traveling from Alabama back to Nashville on I-24 W last night. I was going to stop for gas she told me but the two gas stations off the exit had a line of cars. A truck driver told her that gas prices would increase a dollar by tomorrow and people are filling up.

"Gas isn't going up a dollar I told her. People would riot."

Boy was I wrong.

Fears of gas shortages are leading to exploitation in some parts of the Southeast where some stations are reported to be charging as much as $6 a gallon for gas.
