7:07 a.m. Unified response? What the confederates aren’t going to support the Union Navy to stop them? This is a US matter.

7:37 a.m. Good point by Hass, if it has to be done we are more capable of hitting Iran and we are going to be blamed if Israel hits them or not so we might as well be the guys who do it.

7:39 a.m. Was Dean this willing to go after the Mullahs when President Bush was in power? He is right that the Obama administration should use the “change” in the US in the PR arena on going after them.

7:53 a.m. Time says we can’t win, what a joy to have an optimistic group in charge.

Today’s Morning Joe is all left all the time and I have no time for it Al Hunt and Charles Schumer going at it, Now there is a conflict.

Still no Joe and still giving the protests and protesters more credence than they deserve.

7:40 a.m. Are we creating a new bubble? Crammer says they are doing everything right? Is this Stewart muzzling him talking?

7:48 a.m. More climate change nonsense.

7:55 a.m. Legalize and tax pot? Then will come the lawyers and the Tax law suit.

8:02 a.m. Capitalism with a Banana republic T-Shirt that one nails it.

8:36 a.m. “What did you Do Donny rent an alarm clock?”
