Blocks and attacks against Internet in Venezuela have been on the rise. As many as 500 websites are estimated to have been blocked.

Ricardo Holmquist, a representative for the Venezuelan Internet Society (ISOC), believes the number of websites arbitrarily blocked could be higher than 500 and particularly in connection with information about the unofficial forex rate, the health state of late President Hugo Chávez, and critiques against the Government.

NSFW: Naked Man Attacks NJ Transit Bus Driver

A naked man in New Jersey really messed with a lot of people’s bus schedules today when he ran down the street in his birthday suit, stormed the bus, and started assaulting the driver.

There were multiple people recording video of the scene, clearly having a good time as they watched this crazy dude attacked the bus driver and the cops intervening, only for this person to leave the bus calmly and come right back in to keep attacking the driver. Needless to say, he’s been detained.

Sadly, this is not the only NSFW incident ever to happen involving an NJ Transit bus in the past year. Last summer, a passenger caught a bus driver masturbating while the vehicle was in motion.

Geraldo Attacks O'Reilly over Contentious Obama Interview: You Minimized the President!

Geraldo Rivera took on Bill O’Reilly Friday night over whether O’Reilly was disrespectful to President Obama in their big Super Bowl interview. Rivera gave O’Reilly some benefit of the doubt, but other than that thought O’Reilly was a bit too confrontational and didn’t give Obama the kind of respect a president normally deserves.
Rivera argued it was less like an interview and more like a meeting of the minds with the “President of Most of the White Guys of America” (O’Reilly) against the president of the rest of the country, and told O’Reilly that it was out of line for him to refer to Obama as a “community organizer.”
He said it was “unsettling to watch,” and the president deserves “all the respect and dignity” of the office. O’Reilly fired back that his job is not to please, it’s to “get information” and ask “the tough questions,” and believed that he gave enough deference and respect to the office of the presidency.
Rivera concluded that the larger point O’Reilly made about inner-city families was “obscured” by how he “minimized” the president.

Fox Contributor Attacks Sotomayor's Allegiance To The United States Because She Is Puerto Rican

Laura Ingraham, a conservative radio host and frequent guest host for Bill O’Reilly’s Fox News show, suggested on her radio show Tuesday that Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s “immigrant family background” calls into question her loyalty to the United States.
The context of Ingraham’s statement was a rant about Sotomayor’s decision to refer to people in the United States without citizenship or immigration papers as “undocumented immigrants” because, in Sotomayor’s words, calling “them illegal aliens seemed . . . insulting.” After claiming that Sotomayor’s preference for one term over the other somehow reflects insufficient respect for the rule of law, Ingraham said that Justice Sotomayor’s “allegiance obviously goes to her, you know, immigrant family background, not to the U.S. Constitution.”
Justice Sotomayor, who was born in the Bronx, is a Puerto Rican American. Puerto Rico is part of the United States and Puerto Ricans are United States citizens. So Sotomayor does not actually have an “immigrant family background.”

Conservative Leader Attacks Kerry For Pursuing Middle East Peace

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
Leading conservative Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, criticized Secretary of State John Kerry this week for pursuing peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, saying Kerry risks upending “the quietest place in the region.”
Kerry helped restart the moribund peace process last year and has since assembled a team of top experts and diplomats to handle the issue and made numerous trips to the region to help facilitate the talks.
Speaking with Frank Gaffney on his radio show on Tuesday, Kristol attacked the Obama administration’s foreign policy and roped in Kerry’s efforts in the Middle East. “I mean Kerry’s maniacal insistence on a peace process in the Middle East when tens of thousands of people are being killed next door,” he said, adding that Kerry is “obsessed with disrupting” the relative calm in Israel and the Palestinian Territories:
