By Neha Paliwal, Passport @ ForeignPolicy.com, May 17, 2013
On Friday, chaotic clashes broke out in Georgia as an angry mob -- comprised mainly of young men but also including robed priests and some women -- descended on a gay rights rally commemorating International Day Against Homophobia. A day earlier, the head of the Georgian Orthodox Church had demanded that authorities stop the rally, calling it a "violation of the majority's right."
According to EurasiaNet, the mob, which numbered...

Saudi-Qatar Honeymoon In Lebanon is Over
By Nasser Chararah for Al-Monitor Lebanon Pulse, May 17, 2013
The silent conflict raging between Qatar and Saudi Arabia currently revolves around two main axes. The first is their respective positions vis-à-vis the Muslim Brotherhood, and their disagreement as to whether to back or reject its ascent to power in Syria. The second concerns Saudi Arabia’s objection to the disproportionate — relative to its size...

Destroying the Labor Market
As jobless claims "surprisingly" go up by 32,000 this month (uh, did everyone forget the sequester?), an Atlantic reporter notes the abandonment of workers by both GOP & Democrats.
While he pushes 3 theories how workers ended up under the bus, I'll push a 4th - "social media whatever".
It used to be most of us were consumers of news and marketing, while a few made their money that way. Now we're all "engaged" (sad co-opting of that word) - selling our goods on Craigslist & eBay, friending & liking pages up the rec list, putting our portals & blogs on-line, passing on videos if not doing mash-ups of our own...
We've become a hive of little businessmen, little Eichmanns as someone once put it - with the...

Afghanistan: Powerful Bomb kills 15, including 6 Americans...
By Kathy Gannon & Kay Johnson, Associated Press, May 16, 2013
KABUL, Afghanistan -- A suicide car bombing tore through a U.S. convoy in Kabul on Thursday, killing at least 15 people including six Americans in a blast so powerful it rattled the other side of the Afghan capital. U.S. soldiers rushed to help, some wearing only T-shirts or shorts under their body armor.
A Muslim militant group claimed responsibility for the morning rush hour attack, saying it was carried out by a new suicide unit formed in response to reports that the U.S. plans to keep bases and troops in Afghanistan even after the 2014 deadline for the end of the foreign combat mission.
The group, Hizb-e-Islami, said its fighters had...

Fox News is reporting that Romney has chosen Paul Ryan. If this is true, wow! This President couldn't get any luckier.
Well, a-man nailed it and I was wrong - I'm stunned at this 'match-up'.
Total blunder by Romney.
NBCnews:
Yep. :)
I still assert he isn't Romney's first, second or third choice.
Ayotte would have been better option for independent 'vote', but tmac is right too, this is good news for 'our side'.
If it is true, it is a huge blunder, biggest blunder since Sarah Palin.
Guess he shook the etch a sketch again -- and saw Grover Norquist's face.
Dick Day isn't here to give you the prized Dayly Nightly award, but damn, you win! Hahaha, zing, nice one.
Paul Ryan?! Isn't he just a job and a half away from having a paper route?
Now I want to see Ryan's taxes too. This is getting to be more fun by the day.
