What a little princess Ted Lieu is. Check out this from THE HILL:
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) says he walked out of a moment of silence on the House floor for victims of Sunday's mass shooting in Texas, saying he “will not be silent” after yet another massacre.
Lieu posted a video on his Facebook page Monday night after the moment of silence, during which he said he was “heartbroken about the children and adults that were killed in the worst mass shooting in Texas history this Sunday.”
“My colleagues right now are doing a moment of silence in the House of Representatives chambers,” Lieu said. “I respect their right to do that and I myself have participated in many of them.”
Walking out on a moment of silence is disrespectful.
Don’t want to participate, don’t.
But walking out?
Grow up.
Ted Lieu is an embarrassment.
He should be ashamed of himself.
The moment was about the victims, not about him.
Some drama queens never can grasp that everything that happens in the world is not all about them.
You’re a member of Congress. Congress is holding a moment of silence. Grow up and shut up.
Now for Sam Smith's new album. I love it all but my favorite song has to be "Baby, You Make Me Crazy." Go read Kat's "Kat's Korner: Sam Smith delivers."
Speaking of reading, new content is up at THIRD:
Glen Ford gets another truest.
Bill Press gets a truest.
No breakdown from Jim. They were all ready to move on as soon as the new edition was posted.
Indeed it does. Hayder al-Abadi may be dumber than Nouri al-Maliki.
Ava and C.I. take on THE GIFTED. I was interested in this show. Then I found out Bryan Singer was an exec producer. I couldn't even look at it after that. I'd love it if he weren't guilty of abusing children but he's had more than enough time to tell his side and has refused to do so. So that's that for me and Bryan Singer.

This was an easy feature, noting the number one hits Diana Ross has had besides her 19 on the US pop charts.
Some called Kim a racist for her Halloween costume. She responded that she doesn't see color, she celebrates art and greatness, why, she let her son dress up like Axl Rose!
Axl Rose? Is she that stupid? She doesn't know his racism and homophobia that are well documented long before I was even born.
I like this one.
What we listened to while writing.
To celebrate Diana Ross getting a lifetime achievement award later this month at THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, Motown's releasing this album.
And this is just a look at some of the stuff from last week.Here's C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Tuesday, November 7, 2017.
"I Hear A Symphony" by Diana Ross & the Supremes is one of the 19 number one pop songs (BILLBOARD US singles chart) that Diana Ross has sang on. November 19th, she'll be on the live broadcast (ABC) of The American Music Awards to perform and to receive the American Music Award for Lifetime Achievement. Motown Classic is issuing DIAMOND DIANA: THE LEGACY COLLECTION November 17th to note this monumental achievement.
Patty cock burn and he don't care, Patty cock burn and he don't care . . .
Yes, we're back to the always deceptive Patrick Cockburn who has utilized the Iraq War to fulfill his sexual fantasies of serving Iran.
He's back again.
With another ridiculous piece.
This one claims that the greatest threat to peace in Iraq is . . . Donald Trump's picking a fight with Iran.
We don't buy into every rumor about the government of Iran here. We don't claim that Iran and Iraq should not have good relations.
But we also don't act as a love slave for Tehran.
Not because Tehran doesn't have nice qualities -- I'm sure they must have some -- but because adults should act a little more mature -- at the very least they should do so when in public.
Patrick Cockburn is the perv on Craig's List posting in the personals with his real name.
THE INDEPENDENT, his paper, is not.
It did not lead in coverage about the lies of the Iraq War -- before it started or since. It did not hold Labour accountable. Hell, it didn't even cover the Downing Street Memos.
For reasons known only to the increasingly pathetic family of Cockburns, Patrick's bound and determined to bring Donald Trump down. (I'm sure Donald's more than capable of doing that himself without Patrick's help.) So he's looking increasingly unhinged -- like his late brother Alexander when Alex would start talking about how global warming didn't exist and it was all a conspiracy and . . .
Patty emotes as only a drama queen like him can: "Fake facts!"
That's the opening statement of his so-called report.
He paints Kurds in a bad light.
He repeats the charges against them -- Hoshyar Zebari, specifically -- but doesn't get a response from them.
He also repeats a claim that Hoshyar lied in a Tweet about a photo.
Did he lie?
Patty, if you can stop applying your make up -- your next performance isn't for hours -- here's what you do. You open up Google Chrome. You got to Hoshar's Tweet. You right click on the photo and choose the search option.
That will give you a visual listing of all the times that photo has been posted online.
Of course, if you did that, you might find out that the Shi'ite you had embedded yourself with was lying about Zebari and you certainly don't want that.
It is appalling how so many have been able to use their personal grudges throughout the Iraq War.
Fake news?
Paddy knows all about it.
THE INDEPENDENT was on stronger ground with this quickly published and now pulled story.
They should have pulled Paddy's nonsense and left the story up about the American that's being held -- at Donald Trump's orders -- in Iraq.
Though you'd never know it from Paddy's one-sided 'reporting,' the Baghdad-based government continues its persecution of the KRG.
AP reports:
Iraq’s highest-ranking Sunni is in Washington this week pleading for more military aid for his community’s militias, hoping the Trump administration will deliver on pledges to counter Iran’s growing power across the Middle East.
Osama al-Nujaifi is one of Iraq’s three vice presidents, and his brother heads a prominent Iraqi defense faction. Both have been represented in Washington by the same lobbyist employed last year by Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser. In February, Trump fired Flynn, who is now under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller.
It's smart to make that request.
You never know when Hayder's going to return to again persecuting the Sunnis.
The Patrick Cockburn's weren't silent about Nouri al-Maliki.
They glorified Nouri.
They treated the thug like a hero.
But he was a thug -- just like Hayder al-Abadi.
And Hayder's attacking the Kurds now and getting away with it. This will only strengthen the Kurds. But the reality is he sees this as getting away with it.
The world press is encouraging him the same way they did Nouri.
They are culpable.

“Caliph” craps himself and flees in a taxi. No glorious martyrdom for him, then. What a surprise.
Actually, I would assume the real news value in that would be that he's still alive -- crapping and all.
How many times has the US-led coalition claimed to have killed him?
