Anagnorisis is the moment or instant when ignorance gives way to truth; assumed to be first described by Aristotle in his “Poetics,” it along with peripeteia (reversal of fortune) describe Eric Holder’s recent encounter with facts and soon justice and perhaps federal prison in Leavenworth.
How poetic, the ancient Greeks so aptly described the present situation Holder created for himself by committing perjury, a crime he would no doubt prosecute against another felon with fast and furious efficiency, but now he is the one who faces prosecution and imprisonment for committing perjury during a congressional hearing.

Is he running or isn’t he? A NY Post article today suggests he may be leaning towards running:
After months of hedging, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is giving serious thought to jumping into the ring for a GOP presidential run — and could make his decision next week, The Post has learned.
The announcement may come as soon as Monday, said sources familiar with Christie’s thinking.

NASA scientists are hoping a bus sized satellite will disintegrate on reentry and people won’t be run down by their dead climate satellite that they presumably used to contribute to the Anthropomorphic Global Warming hysteria. It will land today, but by using the same mathematical skills they employed in the Left’s political ploy to weaken the US and redistribute its’ wealth among developing countries like China, they don’t have a clue as to where to reserve a parking space for their dead orbiting climate change bus.
NASA gained valuable insight and a sense of relief into the parking issue on Thursday, when they decided the bus sized satellite would miss the Western Hemisphere, saving them the hassles of litigation in an LA or NY civil law court. The prospect of a confrontation in a Liberal court that has no tort reform must be frightening to the wizards at NASA.

Chief Napoleon Bear Killer wasn’t really a Chief, but he looked the part and he scared most White men. He was tall with a face that was the color and texture of weathered leather in need of oil. A mustache drooping from the corners of the mouth gave him a sinister look, his facial expression never changed, and he stared right through you; these particular characteristics made people from the city a little uncomfortable. The long knife he carried on his hip didn’t help his appearance; especially, when he sharpened it every night after dinner while telling one of his tales of murder and mayhem. He was actually a kind hearted man with a gift for story telling. Unfortunately, a favorite story of his was about one of his ancestors, a homicidal maniac named Olivia Muskrat. He loved to tell this story to hunters late at night around the campfire, when there were strange noises in the darkness or the wolves were serenading us after a few shots of sipping whiskey.

The rhetoric is starting to boil and Liberal Maxine Waters is more than willing to take the lead. With wit and candor, she displays the intellect and syntax she is known for, during a speech in Inglewood, California.
The object of her criticism and scorn was the Tea Party. Her speech is trying to light the fires of racism and class warfare.

We have come to expect Obama to blame everyone else for problems; unfortunately, the childish technique of never accepting blame becomes obvious to the American people after a few months, after a few years it is just boring. The credit downgrade was another Obama debacle and this one stung the Democrats so bad they all needed a scapegoat.
The TEA Party was singled out for causing the credit downgrade that will cost Americans a substantial portion of their standard of living in the future because of higher interest rates on the debt. There is one problem with this latest blame game; the Tea Party didn’t cause the downgrade, they kept it from being worse.

When the US lost its AAA Credit Rating, China slapped their lap dog in the face and told Obama,
the “good old days” of borrowing are over.
“The U.S. government has to come to terms with the painful fact that the good old days when it could just borrow its way out of messes of its own making are finally gone,” China’s official Xinhua news agency said in a commentary.
China, america’s largest creditor feels Washington has only itself to blame for its plight and renewed calls for a new global reserve currency.

Senator John Kerry, “Captain America” Democrat from MA, has validated the Liberal Media’s one sided coverage of political debate. On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday insisted that the media has a moral obligation not to give equal time or credence to TEA Party philosophy.
With a blatant call for tyranny, Captain America, AKA John Kerry seems oblivious of his call for suspension of fundamental liberties.
