if anybody excluded benny leonard from boxing book because he was jewish that is despicable. if anybody is not discussing lesbian contributions to the revolution that is wrong. but they didn't give one example. show me a cross dresser we missed in american history. that is transgendered. you should have an absolute right to cross dress. that is not my point and i am not making fun if that is your thing. your wife has to like it. that is the only -- it is hard for me to imagine but whatever works works. my point is only how absurd we have gotten. that is what it means. if there is nothing about transgendered that means two things. those who have undergone surgery to change sex and i have no issue with that or those who maintain their biological sex but dress as the other sex. where have they been missed in textbooks? that means they will make up stuff to show kids how important the transgendered and bisexual and -- i don't want this for jews. you must have x amount of attention to jews in text books. there should be one governing principle, tell the truth! that is all the matt

the country coupled with international political pressure is only fueling fears for global security leonard spector from the center for nonproliferation studies says the weapon as seen by president asad as a symbol of legitimacy have to be eliminated. with assad still in control of the country and his forces still intact with very few defections although we are seeing some defections the items are safe although still in the hands of a very vicious dictator so for the moment i don't think we're seeing any loss of control but as this situation unfolds and as we may have the violence of the kind that we've seen in libya and different factions become armed and perhaps to take on the regime then the chance for chaos and for the loss of control i think will grow substantially what we have to imagine is perhaps a change of government that is done peacefully under international pressure that assad steps aside when he observes the magnitude of the. demonstrations and the pressure that he's now receiving in terms of sanctions and other means and in that environment and then we can get an internationa

more on this now let's cross live to deputy director of the center for nonproliferation studies are leonard spector live in washington thank you for joining us today to tell us about how well the instability in syria affecting the security of these weapons do you think. well my sense is that at the moment with assad still in control of the country and his forces still intact with very few defections although we are seeing some defections the items are safe although still in the hands of a very vicious dictator so for the moment i don't think we're seeing any loss of control but as this situation unfolds and as we may have the violence of the kind that we've seen in libya and different factions become armed and perhaps take on the regime then the chance for chaos and for the loss of control i think will grow substantially so these dangerous weapons could ultimately if the west over the us get into the wrong hands but what can be done to protect these weapons in a time of such chaos internal chaos and well i think what we have to imagine is perhaps a change of government that is done peaceful

in 2004 justin leonard and chris dimarco were there. that same pga championship.8 in the state of washington. last year, bubba watson and martin kaymer. remember we thought it would be dustin johnson as well but he incurred that penalty on the 72nd hole and kaymer won it. so, what you have here is you have jason dufner, 34 years old. he won three college tournaments at auburn where he was a walk-on player. two nationwide wins but never a pga tour win. he would join a very impressive list of golfers through the years whose first win was a major. names like nicklaus and tre vino and john daly. or you will have keegan bradley, a rookie, to win a major. someone winning a major in his first attempt at a major. that has only happened twice now in the last 100 years. you have ben curtis in 2003. then you have to go back before that to that storied u.s. open at the country club. nick: two totally different characters. we have one man who wears his emotions on the outside and one who has all of his emotions on the inside. so, i have no idea which way this will swing. keega

the country's credit rating s&p, and joining me is the country's foremost professor of economics leonarderman, and now you say that we heard the president allude to this might be a blessing in the disguise and put some urgency behind lawmakers in an effort to do something about the economy and come to a compromise and why do you believe it is a blessing in disguise? >> well, it is a wake-up call. we are not at the point at which we are going to have a debt crisis, and we clearly could repay the debt, and even if it got larger, but if we continue the current policies, 5 or 10 or 15 years down the road, we could be in a situation where a downgrade could cause upward spiral in interest rates that would sink the economy. the blessing in disguise is that this is showing us and giving a harbinger of what is to come and suggesting to the president that it is time to take charge. and take the hard decisions that will be necessary to get the debt under control and also to do the things to get the economy out of the recession in the short term. it is not easy, but it is creating urgency for it. >>
