Justin Bieber On Sen. Amy Klobuchar: “That Guy Needs To Be Locked Up”

Justin Bieber doesn’t like a law Senator Klobuchar is proposing. He also forgot, momentarily, that “Amy” is a girl’s name.

Bieber was asked on a radio show today about the Klobuchar-sponsored Commercial Felony Streaming Act, which would make it a felony punishable by five years to illegally stream copyrighted content online.

“That guy needs to be locked up,” Bieber said, replicating the gender confusion that he often inspires. “Whoever she is, she needs to know that I’m saying she needs to be locked up, put away in cuffs.”

Klobuchar says that is not an accurate interpretation of her bill.

“It’s …

Cain Campaign “To Slow Down” After Missteps; Spokesman Says He Needs Teleprompter

The Cain campaign is out of control.

“We’re trying to slow down a little bit, make sure he’s rested, make sure he’s focused,” says J.D. Gordon, the campaign’s vice president for communications. The goal is to achieve a “more deliberate pace…so we don’t make those kinds of mistakes.”

Gordon says his boss has been doing as many as seven or eight events a day, “and when you do that and don’t use a Teleprompter, sometimes you can make a mistake…

If Herman Cain has to slow down a campaign for president because of “missteps,” what would he do if …

Can Cain Win The Nomination?

by Stuart Shapiro

My answer to that question has always been a resounding “no.”  I figured that the lack of funding and a campaign organization and his inability to answer any policy question that requires more than one sentence would catch up with him.  One of my heroes, Nate Silver, (while acknowledging that he doesn’t think Cain will win) says that pundits have been too quick to dismiss Cain:

In short, while I think the conventional wisdom is probably right about Mr. Cain, it is irresponsible not to account for the distinct and practical possibility (not the mere one-in-a-thousand or …

Romney Flip-Flops On Climate Change

Add this to ever-growing list of Mitt Romney’s ever-changing positions.

“My view is that we don’t know what’s causing climate change on this planet,” Romney said during a speech in Pittsburgh Thursday . . . “And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us.”

But that is this week. In June, Romney was more sure of things.

Romney received criticism from conservatives in June when he said in New Hampshire that human beings were partly responsible for climate change.

“It’s important for us to reduce our …

The report details the transfer of cash from the U.S. to the Central Bank of Iraq. Much of it was originally assets of Iraq, some was part of the Oil for Food program imposed during the regime of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and some was funneled through the United Nations for relief and reconstruction …

Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen, hit with a projectile by police in Oakland, is awake prior to brain surgery.

Olsen, 24, has become a figurehead of the Occupy Wall Street movement and Oakland organisers have said they will stage a general strike over what a spokeswoman called the “brutal and vicious” treatment of protesters, including the former Marine.

Oakland’s police chief, Howard Jordan, has promised a vigorous investigation into the incident which has provoked heavy criticism across the US, sparking solidarity marches in dozens of Occupy camps in the country.…
