As PR stunts go, this is one of the more impressive and well built. From 5 335 200 LEGO pieces have 32 Czechs spent 17 000 hours to construct a 42.5 feet long replica of the X-Wing spacectaft fighter, from the Star Wars-movies.
The 20 ton space ship is just nu on display in Times Square in New York City, where it has been flown from Chechya, to be flown to Legoland in California for permanent display.
The purpose with the display in Times square is to promote the cartoon movie ”The Yoda Chronicles”, which is based on the LEGO Star Wars-figures.

Lois Lerner of IRS tax exempt division to take the fifth. A Limerick.
Ms. Lerner is taking the fifth
She surely is losing her pith.
Since she lied through her teeth.
It gets hot underneath.
She’ll languish in anguish and writhe.

Background according to LA Times: WASHINGTON — A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the 5th Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups.
Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening — or why she didn’t disclose it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor III. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.
“She has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course,” said a letter by Taylor to committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Vista). The letter, sent Monday, was obtained Tuesday by the Los Angeles Times.
Taylor, a criminal defense attorney from the Washington firm Zuckerman Spaeder, said that the Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation, and that the House committee has asked Lerner to explain why she provided “false or misleading information” to the committee four times last year.
Since Lerner won’t answer questions, Taylor asked that she be excused from appearing, saying that would “have no purpose other than to embarrass or burden her.” There was no immediate word whether the committee will grant her request.

Do republicans owe Susan Rice an apology? Dan Pfeiffer of the White House thinks so. I think not.

It started innocently enough in Tunis December 17 2010. A street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, set himself on fire in protest of the confiscation of his wares and the harassment and humiliation that he reported was inflicted on him by a municipal official and her aides. His act became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution and the wider Arab Spring, inciting demonstrations and riots throughout Tunisia in protest of social and political issues in the country. The demonstrations grew and on May 20 2012 a demonstration was taped by Memri TV. The rallying cry was “Obama, Obama, we are all Osama”
The tape is 7 min long, but you only have to listen to the first minute to get the gist of what was going on. The rest is more or less a martial arts demonstration:
Meanwhile, the Arab Spring was in full bloom and Obama spoke with genuine joy and exaltation about the birth of true democracy in the Arab world. In Egypt Mubarak was gone and demonstrations were a daily occurrence in Cairo. They culminated on Sep 11 2012 with Jihadists storming the U.S. embassy and planting the black Al-Qaida flag of the Caliphate on the top of the wall. They were shouting slogans. Was it about a video? Listen for yourselves:
This mantra spread to Morocco, Qatar and has even spread to Syria in 2013:
Does this sound like a protest about a video?
Does anybody in their right mind still think Republicans owe Susan Rice an apology?
IRS targets tea-party, prayer, respect for life for harassment. A Limerick.
The left gets exempt from a tax.
The right gets intrusive attacks.
Meet the new IRS.
They decide who to bless.
Let’s pray that the hacks get the axe.

Impeach Obama now!! A song.
The impeachment song: (To the tune of “Please release me, let me go”)
Please impeach me, let me go
I can’t usurp it any more
Make decisions is a chore
and bargain, it is to me a bore.
.
I believed in change and hope.
It changed for worse, I cannot cope
I began to sulk and mope
I am at the end of my rope.
.
I have had all I can take
Dethrone me now for goodness sake
Lest a bigger mess I make
So check my credentials, I’m a fake.
.
I was made in U.S.A.,
but born in Kenya, so they say.
ineligible to play
commander, defrock me, don’t delay.
.
Nothing I did was a hit.
I acted more like a nit-wit.
Dad was just a drunken Brit.
Depose me, I’m not allowed to quit.
.
Please, I am but one lame duck
The grizzly moms have too much pluck
I am scared they’ll go amok
So boot me, your country starts to suck.
.
Sacrificed the SEAL team six
I heaved them all the old deep-six
Add Grand Treason to the mix
Disbar me! This dog has no more tricks.
.
Fast and Furious was my pace
And that’s how I did win the race.
It did blow up in my face
So launch me somewhere to outer space.
.
In Benghazi people died
And Hillary and Rice both lied.
I was AWOL, went to hide.
So face it: I’ve joined the other side.
.
AP bothered me with facts.
I spied on all their phone contacts.
That’s how a thin-skinned guy reacts,
My next move? Guantanamo barracks.
.
IRS was my best friend.
With thugs on which I did depend.
But they failed me in the end.
So jail me, or this will never end.
