Times Square bomber caught

Got this one in an email this morning.
BULLETIN – POLITICO's Josh Gerstein: 'A Pakistani-born American wanted in connection with the alleged car bombing attempt in Times Square over the weekend was arrested at 11:45 p.m. at John F. Kennedy airport in New York City, Attorney General Eric Holder said in an unusual in-person statement at the Justice Department at 1:30 a.m. Faisal Shahzad, 30, was attempting to board a flight for Dubai, Holder said. The suspect allegedly purchased the Nissan Pathfinder used for the attempted bombing from a private owner via Craigslist. 'Over the course of the day today, we have gathered additional significant evidence which led to tonight's arrest,' Holder said in his comment delivered at the Justice Department at 1:30 A.M. 'This investigation is ongoing as are our attempts to gather useful intelligence and we continue to pursue number of leads but it's clear that the intent behind this terrorist attack was to kill Americans.'

greece crisis

The greeks are really pissed that there economy has failed and they have to be bailed out by the EU specifically the Germans. Basically the idea is to trim the fat out of their economy and then prop them up with money from the IMF. The Greeks are angry at everyone involved. They are even biting the hand that feed them.

Vitriol is also being heaped on Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, by Giorgos Trangas, a popular radio talk show host.

“She looks like an apple strudel that’s been squashed by a Wehrmacht lorry,” he said on his programme. from a times article
