Faux News host Sheppard Smith has provoked a bit of a civil war over the Holocaust Museum shooting today by saying that the Homeland Security report about right wing extremists was a warning and that it was right. He said the right went bonkers over the report, and then Ralph Peters went on Neil Cavuto's show to attack Smith for defending the report.

One question: Does Sheppard know he works for Faux News - then again if he keeps telling the truth he won't be for long.

Latest Right-Wing Meme: Von Brunn's A Lefty

Where do they keep there heads ... oh, yeah, up their asses.

Have you heard the latest from the wing-nuts ... the right wing terrorist who gunned down a guard at the Holocaust Museum is really a left winger!

The folks over at Talking Points Memo put it this way:

It's hardly been 24 hours since James Von Brunn allegedly walked into the Holocaust Museum and shot museum guard Stephen Johns. But already conservatives from Rush Limbaugh to Red State have started advancing their latest up-is-down meme: Von Brunn -- a white supremacist consumed by hatred of Jews and blacks, who has called for President Obama to release his birth certificate -- isn't really a right-winger -- in fact, he's a lefty.

Damn, fantasy land is really out there isn't it!

Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

Sometime soon, you'll need to make a decision: Whether or not to let a secret see the light of day.
That's not an easy thing for you, because you can usually see both sides of the issue.
Use that famous intuition of yours to make the decision and above all else, don't -- repeat, do not -- feel guilty if your ultimate choice is to let the truth be told.
Clearing the air is always the best tactic -- if not immediately, then in the long run.

Yeah, boy!
