I must admit I've never heard of ESPN reporter Britt McHenry. But after watching this video, I think ESPN should fire her.

Earlier this month, McHenry had her vehicle towed. Sure that's liable to make anyone mad. But McHenry is one nasty piece of work. Despite being warned that she was on videotape, McHenry berated an unnamed female parking lot attendant making demeaning comments about her education and physical appearance such as “I’m on television and you’re in a f#*king trailer, honey," and “Lose some weight, baby girl.”

McHenry has since apologized, but the only thing she's sorry about is that she got caught. The apology is mealy-mouthed and at no point does she actually apologize to the person to whom she directed her vitriol.

I realize this occurred while McHenry was away from work and that she did not break the law. Again, being upset is one thing, but McHenry was positively beaming when she made those comments. If I were an executive at ESPN, I would not want Britt McHenry representing the company.

Holocaust Memorial Day was observed in Israel today as it has been every year of its existence.

For two minutes, the entire country virtually comes to a halt as you can see from the video I've linked to from a year ago.

I don't think there's anything else like it in the world. Then again there's nothing like The Holocaust.

But that could change.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not mince words when he likened Iran's ambitions to those of Nazi Germany in a speech delivered at Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem:

The Nazis sought to crush civilization and have a master race rule the Earth while destroying the Jewish people. In that same way, Iran seeks to dominate the region and to spread outward from there, with the declared intention of destroying the Jewish state.

Hillary Clinton may be reticent to speak on the subject of foreign policy just yet - she's peppered her rare interactions with actual media with bland policy positions mostly having to do with middle class Americans and favorite burrito proteins - but that might be because the Clinton Foundation is still trying to work out how they're going to accept all that foreign cash while one of their founders is campaigning to be leader of the free world.

Turns out, they're still going to accept the foreign cash, at least as far as six key countries, with whom the US already has relationships, are concerned. Any other foreign national or government looking to have a direct impact on a major Presidential contender's foreign policy should instead donate to the Clinton Global Initiative, which is not directly affiliated with the Clinton Foundation in any way other than being directly affiliated with the Clinton foundation. 

No, seriously.

Although he's still technically in the exploratory stage of a presidential run, former Rhode Island Senator and Governor Lincoln Chafee has for all intents and purposes declared he's making a bid for the White House in an interview with CNN.

Chafee, of course, stands no chance in hell of winning the Democratic Party nomination and he knows it. He's been a Democrat for less than three years and most Democrats outside of Rhode Island probably still think of him as a Republican albeit a very liberal one.

But Chafee has made it clear why he is running: The Iraq War:

That was a moment where the premise for going to Iraq was so false that there were weapons of mass destruction; she didn't do her homework. We live with the ramifications. You may say that's 12 years ago — that's a big motivator for me running. If you show a lack of judgment, lack of doing homework then, what can we expect in the future?"
