Iran: The Time Has Come For A Good MOP Out!

(Reuters) - With its nuclear program beset as never before by sanctions, sabotage and assassination, Iran must now make a new addition to its list of concerns: One of the biggest conventional bombs ever built.
Boeing's 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), an ultra-large bunker buster for use on underground targets, with Iran routinely mentioned as its most likely intended destination, is a key element in the implicit U.S. threat to use force as a last report against Iran's nuclear ambitions.

A MOP. 

The behemoth, carrying more than 5,300 pounds of explosive, was delivered with minimal fanfare to Whiteman U.S. Air Force Base, Missouri in September. It is designed for delivery by B-2 Stealth bombers.
Would that weapon, delivered in a gouging combination with other precision-guided munitions, pulverize enough rock to reach down and destroy the uranium enrichment chamber sunk deep in a mountain at Fordow, Iran's best sheltered nuclear site? A "second best" result might be merely to block the plant's surface entrances, securing its temporary closure, some said.

Stealth Bomber.

One U.S. official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, described an attack on the underground site, about 160 km (100 miles) south of Tehran near the Iranian holy city of Qom, as "hard but not impossible." The United States is the only country with any chance of damaging the Fordow chamber using just conventional air power, most experts say.

Red Wine Researcher's Figs A Bit Squiffy!

"A University of Connecticut researcher known for his work on red wine's benefits to cardiovascular health falsified his data in more than 100 instances, university officials said Wednesday."
First it was one for Dipak, one for the test tube...and somehow it got to be two for Dipak, none for the tube and fuck the figures. It can happen all so easily...just ask Mr Gutfeld.

Yoko's On Her Way...

 "International artist, singer and the wife of the late Beatles legend John Lennon, Yoko Ono is on a ten-day visit to India and she hopes to learn a lot during this trip.

Yoko Ono.

Well, lets see now...during a life time of being a major contributor and fully paid up member of the pretentious art-fart scene;  leading a lost Lennon into bags, brain numbing non sayings and shallow tripe teeming waters...her learning anything of consequence will be a novel experience for her. But bon voyage, anyway...

The Douglas M Bloomfield Dilemma!

"How can you tell when politicians are lying?"  
Washington Watch: I was struck by how careless most of the candidates have been with the facts."

Are we all ready to confuse Dougie dip-stick?

Thus witters on Douglas M Bloomfield, a so called jurno in the JPost.
Er...here's a clue for you Dougie: Look for the top lip disengaging from their bottom one, and a sound like total bollocks streaming forth from the one orifice that can be displayed in a public arena without an arrest ensuing. Got it now Dougie?
But please do make up your own mind by clicking on the link below to be flashed at the speed of light to his musings.

More Like Mississippi Burning!

In his eighth year as Governor, Haley Barbour has maintained his focus on making Mississippi a better place to live, work and play through strong support of job creation, schools, health care, energy, safer communities and stronger families...so...why in the hell has he let lose on the community, in his final days as Mississippi governor, pardons or early release to nearly 200 people, including more than two dozen whose crimes were listed as murder, manslaughter or homicide?

I kinda fancy masel' as a GOP presidential figure of the future...

Look you deluded fuck-wit; some of the victims' relatives will no doubt have other plans for you!

Hackersville: Just Another Night And Day In The Bedroom...

He's only 17-years-old, but the Israeli hacker known as '0xOmer' has already made headlines after publishing hundreds of Saudi credit card numbers, in retaliation against Arab hackers, claiming to be Saudis, who published tens of thousands of Israeli credit card details on the internet last week.
 "This is just the beginning," 0xOmer told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. "We have over 300 Saudi credit card numbers in our possession... and over 10,000 personal details of people in Saudi Arabia, including full names, emails, and addresses. If they publish one more little detail on Israel, we will attack in full force and publish all of the credit card details," he said.

*Hi diddly dee, a hackers life for me...

The hacker provided a glimpse into how a developing cyberwar is being fought. Last week, Israeli credit card numbers and the Bank of Israel scrambled to quickly disable credit card numbers compromised by the actions of the anti-Israel hacker. Now, Saudi banks will have to take the same steps to protect their customers.
The Israeli hackers are interested only in sending a warning to anti-Israel hackers at this stage, and stopped short of providing credit card information that can be used to make fraudulent purchases, the hacker added. "I didn't publicize the three digit number at the back of the card [necessary for online shopping]," he explained.
"My role is to find and exploit security breaches in the highest levels," 0xomer said. Another member of the team, codenamed 7ukk1,  is in charge of defacing websites targeted by the hackers, and handling foreign media relations.

Now...what were you up to at that age... a sly ciggie at the back of the schoolyard, perhaps?
