To me, this just looks like a desperate PR attempt to frame the incoming administration in the minds of some of their more persuadable sympathizers before he even takes office. If you're not threatened, and don't feel your future grasp slipping on the actual philosophical war on terror, as clearly you don't come hard with the shit talk.
SMDH @ "house negroes"...see whachall teach?

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri threatened President-elect Barack Obama in an Internet message.
Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda's No. 2, castigated Obama, saying "in you and in Colin Powell, (Condoleezza) Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning 'House Negroes' are confirmed."
Really though? A member of Al-Qaida comparing the Pres. Elect to a house negro?

CBS says the rapper has agreed to a two-episode appearance on "CSI: Miami."
The network says Combs will portray a prosecutor who doesn't get along with police Lt. Horatio Caine, played by David Caruso.
CBS said Tuesday that Combs' episodes will probably air in mid- to late winter.
Combs drew praise for his role in the ABC movie "A Raisin in the Sun."
Another rap artist, Nelly, has had a recurring role this season in "CSI: New York."

I don't think the big 3 should be rewarded with a handout either especially since their long term planning and their love affair with gas/oil companies sucks. But isn't this like the other bailout where the gov't doesn't have much choice?
I feel bad for Barack. His administration is going to get the shortest honeymoon ever. If he has one at all.

Detroit's auto CEOs can suck it hard.
Check this out!
So the CEOs of Ford (Alan Mulally), Chrysler (Robert Nardelli) and GM (Rick Wagoner ) were in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday begging the government (i.e. YOU, cuz it's the tax money you've paid) for billions of dollars because their businesses have gone to shit.
Sounds like there was quite a bit of histrionics from the trio. They claimed that they'll likely go out of business without a bailout.
Anyway, this didn't stop the CEOs from traveling in private, company owned, luxurious jets to get to D.C.
First class wasn't good enough????
They should be flying coach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ABC News reports that Wagoner's private jet trip to Washington cost the ailing GM an estimated $20,000 roundtrip.
In comparison, seats on Northwest Airlines flight 2364 from Detroit to Washington were going online for $288 coach and $837 first class.
WTF?
Couldn't the 3 have 'planepooled' at least? They were going to the same place!
Tom Schatz, President of Citizens Against Government Waste said, "This is a slap in the face of taxpayers. To come to Washington on a corporate jet, and asking for a hand out is outrageous… It appears that the senior management of the automakers simply don't get it."
We totally agree!
The Ford CEO told Congress that he's cut expenses, laid-off workers and closed 17 plants.
But, get this.
Ford continues to operate a fleet of eight private jets for its executives!!!!
The ABC report goes on to say that on Tuesday, one jet was taking Ford honchos to Los Angeles, another on a trip to Nebraska.
John McElroy of the TV show, Autoline Detroit said, "Now's not the time to do that sort of thing. Now's the time to be humble and show that you're sharing equally in the sacrifice."
When us regular folks are short on cash we sell things to make ends meet right?
GM has 8 luxury jets in its fleet and apparently does NOT plan on selling any of them in this time of 'crisis'. Note, the jet their CEO used to get to DC cost the company $36 million.
President-Elect Obama has advocated for a bailout of the U.S. car companies.
We hope any auto bailout that the soon-to-be President stamps with his seal of approval incorporates some sort of oversight re. executive 'privileges'.
It's infuriating to think that execs could live lavishly on the backs of tax payers, most of whom are struggling to make ends meet!

I know that a few of you out there are fans of the Bayou webcomic. Just wanted to let you guys know that the series is finally being collected for a print edition.
LONDON – Another best-selling memoir, another battle over the line between truth and fiction.
A British lawyer who wrote a popular book recounting a childhood of emotional and physical abuse is being sued for libel by her mother, who says the claims are fantasy.
Constance Briscoe defends the veracity of her book, "Ugly" — the nickname she says her mother threw at her as a child. Her lawyer told London's High Court on Tuesday that the book contained some errors but was "quite properly put in the biography section of the bookshop, not the fiction section."
