First Erdogan "entered" the battle against ISIS but seems to have spent more time attacking and bombing the Kurds and the PKK, the former at least seem to be the most constructive players in the region. Now, Putin has "entered" the battle against ISIS and is bombing groups supported by the US and perpetuating Assad.
Both are using ISIS as a pretext for their own agendas
when will we learn?
Apparently never.

TESLA VALUATION VS. GM
i think Tesla cars are pretty cool. especially the S model. however i am scratching my head over its valuation.
Tesla is valued at around $31 Billion
GM at around $50 Billion
Tesla will deliver around 50,000 cars this year. an article today said it is predicting that it will sell around 500,000 "by the end of the decade" whatever that means, 2019, 2020?
It has been reported that Tesla loses about $4,000 per model S. there accounting is complicated but they are hugely benefited by various tax credits that both it and its customers receive. big dollars for both.
GM sells around 10,000,000 cars in 2014. so it is valued at around $5,000 a car sold using a simplistic metric
Tesla is being valued at $600,000 a car on current volume and $60,000 on projected volume maybe 5 years in the future
now Tesla is cool and GM is not cool but does this make sense?

NETANYAHU VS OBAMA VS IRAN
there is all this noise about Netanyahu speaking before congress. It's being called political. Really? Of course it's political. Everything a politician does is political
Whatever protocols may have been violated, the stakes for the US, Israel and the world are high enough that hearing his pov can't hurt
I for one don't trust Obama,Biden and Kerry and the Europeans to cut the right deal with the Iranians. They are concerned with legacy. People like that cut bad deals. They don't realize that legacies get determined over decades. Not immediate press clippings
If Iran goes nuclear, the Middle East goes nuclear. Very dangerous. Point to one area of the globe where this administration has done something smart, tough and effective? And they're going to start now with Iran?
I don't think so
We allowed 6 million Jews to be killed once. We can't do it twice. And Israel has the right to defend itself if no one else will

AMY PASCAL VS BRIAN WILLIAMS
amy pascal got fired for telling the truth. Brian Williams will get fired for lying.
Why people think that emails are private is beyond me. But the leaked Sony emails were hilarious and entertained a nation for weeks
Brian williams on the other hand seems to have lied and as often the case gets trapped by it and fact and fiction merge. Now there may be more lies about Katrina
A real shame. The truth would have been just fine
Amy was also fired so Michael Lynton could keep his job. At least for now
