Netanyahu was told.......... by an “American official” in Jerusalem that, ”We are going to change the world. Please, don’t interfere.”

“It is not productive, given the history of US and Iranian relations to be seen as meddling in Iranian elections,” he said.
“But when I see violence directed at peaceful protesters, when i see peaceful dissent being suppressed… it is of concern to me and it is of concern to the American people.”
Speaking later in the television interview, he downplayed the importance to the world of the struggle for power in Iran.
“The difference between Ahmadinejad and Mousavi in terms of their actual policies may not be as great as has been advertised,” he said.

… the IMF said, the U.S. needed to “develop and communicate” a strategy for withdrawing monetary stimulus and fiscal stimulus. Otherwise, such stimulus “may stoke concerns about inflation and rising debt, exerting upward pressure on interest rates.”
But the IMF advised the U.S. to start cutting back only after a “sustainable recovery is under way.” The IMF didn’t expect that to occur shortly.

Last week President Obama appointed yet another “czar” with massive government power, answering only to him. Even before this latest appointment, the top-ranking Democrat in the Senate wrote President Obama a letter saying that these czars are unconstitutional. President Obama’s “czar strategy” is an unprecedented power grab centralizing authority in the White House, outside congressional oversight and in violation of the Constitution.
Now, this is interesting:
The federal government currently holds various ownership stakes in over 500 private companies.
...
To stop this dangerous course of action, I [Sen John Thune (R) SDak] have introduced the Government Ownership Exit Plan Act. This legislation would put an immediate end to government purchases of additional direct ownership interests of private companies. It would also prohibit government officials from making or influencing business decisions when it comes to the companies in which the government already has an ownership interest.
Probably just another tease, though.

Kimberley Vlaminck, 18, claimed that she asked for only three stars to be tattooed near her left eye as a present from her father, Diego, who was upholding a family tradition of tattoos.
“My father wanted to pay because in our family everyone has a tattoo,” she said.
As her father ate an ice cream outside, Miss Vlaeminck claims she fell asleep before waking up to find her face covered in the “nightmare” tattoos.
Palestinian sources reported Tuesday that former US president Jimmy Carter was the target of a thwarted assassination attempt, according to Israel Radio.
Reportedly, there was a cluster of explosive devices stashed near a road he was scheduled to travel during a visit to the Gaza Strip.

I’m a little late to the party on this one
WhoSigned.org, a grassroots organization of Washington State residents, announced today that it would make the names of Referendum 71 petitioners looking to overturn the expanded domestic partnership law accessible online. The law would grant same-sex and senior couples (over 62 years of age) in state registered domestic partnerships the same rights as married couples.
The petitioners have until July 25th to collect the necessary 150,721 signatures, a minimum of 120,577 signatures plus a recommended buffer of 25%, to place Referendum 71 on the November 2009 ballot. If they are successful, the new law will not go into effect as expected on July 25th and could be overturned by voters on the November 2009 ballot.
WhoSigned.org will make the petitioners names accessible online once the petition has been verified by the Washington Secretary of State and has become part of the public record.
“This is about taking responsibility,” said WhoSigned.org director Brian Murphy. “Petition signers are choosing to prolong discrimination against fellow citizens who pay taxes, contribute to their community and care for their families. This can’t be allowed to happen in secret and without a frank public discussion. We hope that potential petition signers realize the serious consequences their actions will have on gay and straight couples and their families.”

The fashion industry made it clear at its annual awards ceremony Monday night that it’s looking to future stars to see it past the doldrums of the recession, shunning longtime favorites and honoring a largely new guard: Rodarte, Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang—and Michelle Obama.
The Council of Fashion Designers of America’s special tribute award went to the first lady, considered a new player in this world.
Noting her ”meteoric rise as a fashion icon,” CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg said Obama had “a unique look that balances the duality of her lives” in her roles as trusted adviser to her husband, President Barack Obama, and busy mother to their two daughters.
Although she was missing from the crowd at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Obama’s presence was felt throughout the star-studded ceremony, which included Heidi Klum and Blake Lively, both wearing Michael Kors, and Bradley Cooper in a Calvin Klein suit.
It took host Tracey Ullman less than two minutes in her opening monologue to mention the new first lady of fashion. As complimentary as she was, though, Ullman, a Brit, did say Obama shouldn’t have worn a cardigan to meet Queen Elizabeth II.
