Here, each hole starts on Wednesdays and this is what fell through this past week, in more than one way or day:
On Wednesday, June 4, President Obama’s decision to secure the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl by releasing five detainees allegedly affiliated with the Taliban from Guantanamo further raised the question of why Guantanamo remains open in the first place. Several commentators, including Glenn Greenwald on The Intercept, have declared that Obama’s releasing of the detainees was in fact illegal, as he failed to provide Congress with the 30-day notice that is required by the 2014 defense authorization statute, unless the President does in fact have the power to override such Congressional restrictions.
But then, what accounts for his ongoing failure to close Guantanamo as he pledged to do, or at least release those detainees who are already cleared?
(TPV has assigned Marquel and Mufi to investigate and find the answer to this question.)
On Thursday, June 5, Hillary gave TPV a call, and told us that she did not believe Obama handled the Egyptian crisis well. Reminded that she was the Secretary of State when the crisis started she hung up on us!
Friday, June 6, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed national limits on carbon pollution from existing power plants for the first time. To avoid any lobbying confusion, the President immediately explained that the EPA’s just a joke.
On Saturday, June 7, TPV and friends went to Shakespeare in Central Park, and the weather was excellent. So was Much Ado about Nothing.
On Sunday, June 8, as expected, Neil Patrick Harris won the Tony for best performance by an actor in a leading role in a musical for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.”
On Monday, June 9, Militants attacked Karachi’s international airport and seized control on Sunday for more than five hours, killing at least 18 people in Pakistan’s largest city. The attack involved ten assailants armed with grenades and rocket launchers; the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility. A spokesman for the group said the attack should be evidence that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s hopes of engaging them in peace talks had failed.
On the bright side, none of the five Guantanamo released prisoners were among the attackers.
On Tuesday, June 10, 2014, “Vey is meer !” Jehova is not an asshole! (Though God may.) House Majority Leader Eric 
Cantor lost his GOP ticket in the Virginia Republican primary to an absolutely unknown, underfunded tea party-backed challenger Dave Brat. Brat did not even need the Koch Brothers’ money!
So, here’s TPV’s advice to Jews:
Hey Bro’, unless youre last name is Koch or Adelson don’t do the Republicans’ dirty job. Of course, you could join the Likud party and become a certified schmuck but that’s outside TPV’s reach. Stay cool. Stay liberal!

Nice weekhole. Liked:

And the news flow – from Guantanamo to Egypt to the park, the inch and Karachi, with comic relief from the Brat and the EPA, which, I’m guessing, if Brat has his way will be history when he defeats Hillary in 2016 – unless he has to face some kind of general (non primary) election before 2016…
Maybe Cantor can become a Cardinal, they say he’s good with money – if fact they kept saying that over and over, hmm.
