Staged phony victim shot wins Picture of Year

You do remember this Hezbollah photo fraud don't you?

...

Back on August 8, 2006 during the midst of the Israeli-Hezbollah war, the New York Times published this photo of the sweating, dust-free, cap-at-side-holding "victim" of Israeli bombings with the caption:

The mayor of Tyre said that in the worst hit areas, bodies were still buried under the rubble, and he appealed to the Israelis to allow government authorities time to pull them out. (Photo Tyler Hicks The New York Times)
Bizzyblog forwarded the "Dead Guy w/ no dust" photo here in the morning thinking that this guy looked pretty clean for a bomb attack.
There was a reason for that...

An anonymous commenter at this blog put the pieces together on this Hezbollah photo fraud by late in the afternoon. This is what was discovered about the photo essay:

This photo is part of a photo essay entitled "Turmoil in the Mideast" - Reports from Israel and Lebanon: Attack in Tyre" accessible through the NYT website. All of the photographs are attributed to Tyler Hicks/The New York Times. The photograph shown on your site is photo number 6 in the New York Times array.

** The slide show is still available HERE.

"Dead Guy w/ no dust" shows up with hat in photo no. 2 (right side) pointing out something to the photographer.

...
Go to Gateway to see all the pictures that prove the fraud. They were part of Hezballah's Victim Strategy as I have dubbed it. They were deliberately trying to create images of "victims" of Israels response to Hezballah aggression.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
