The inevitable and inculpatory revelations that will come
in the wake of Palin's resignation as Governor of Alaska. The revelations that will make sense of the
otherwise bizarre situation. Moore, who calls herself "Just a girl from
Homer (Alaska)", has clearly gotten way under Palin's skin if one if to judge by the public letter released by attorney Thomas Van Flein on behalf of the exiting governor.

Obamanation Opens the Door to Post-Acquittal Detentions
07-08-2009
•
Washington Independent
Defense Department General Counsel Jeh Johnson said that “as a
matter of legal authority,” the administration’s powers to detain
someone under the law of war don’t expire for a detainee after he’s
acquitted in court. “If you have authority under the law of war to
detain someone” under the Supreme Court’s Hamdi ruling, “that is true irrespective of what happens on the prosecution side.”

Immigration Destruction Under Obama
07-08-2009
•
FFF / Jacob Hornberger
[E]veryone " employers, employees, and
consumers " was benefitting, which is what a free market is all about.
Then, along comes the federal government and accomplishes what it is
best at: destruction, misery, and suffering.
Now, wasn’t that a wonderful result?
Think about it: Here’s a company that ostensibly is privately owned.
Its money supposedly belongs to it. It decides to use its own money to
hire people who are willing to work there. Both the employer and the
employees benefit from the exchange. We know this to be true because
otherwise they wouldn’t have both entered into the deal. The company
serves consumers by providing them with meat products that they’re
willing to pay for.
Like I say, destruction, misery, and
suffering " it ought to be imprinted as a motto on business cards carried by federal officials.

The Civil Religion and the Seventh-Inning Stretch - by Will Grigg
07-08-2009
•
Pro Liberate
All that Brad Campeau-Laurion wanted was to use the bathroom.
The
beer he had consumed an hour earlier had completed its tour of his
digestive tract and was impatient to leave. So when the Seventh Inning
Stretch arrived, and the crowd at Yankee Stadium arose to sing “God
Bless America,” Campbeau-Laurion quietly excused himself to attend to
this biological imperative.
He
wound up being assaulted by two off-duty New York police officers and
dragged from the stadium " in humiliating fashion, in full view of tens
of thousands of people " for desecrating a recently minted “patriotic”
tradition.

Solar Powered Blimp ready for launch
07-08-2009
•
Inhabitant
Perhaps propelled by the recent dawn of solar powered airplanes, this stunning solar powered blimp is poised to take flight by harnessing sunlight for fuel. Dubbed Nephelios,
the solar-powered helium blimp was designed and built by high school
engineering students in France. The history making blimp will begin
test flights in the next 2 weeks, and by summer’s end the designers
hope to fly Nephelios across the English Channel, “just to show that
it’s possible.” Nephelios
will be the first manned solar airship in existence, and its inaugural
flight will prove that CO2-free air travel is now a reality.

•
Pat Kopecki
Agriculture leaders, as well as farmers and ranchers, are watching the outcome of the many congressional bills that are being discussed on Capitol Hill. They question whether farmers and ranchers will survive if additional permits and taxation are implemented. Two of the issues currently being discussed are the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) that is included in House Resolution (HR) 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, and the probable taxation of cattle by means of changes in the Clean Air Act.

Where's Pentagon 'terrorism suspect'? Talking to Karzai
07-08-2009
•
McClatchy News
Haji Sahib Rohullah Wakil spends his days going from one high-level
official meeting to another with the swagger of a tribal elder,
advocating for the needs of Kunar province, his home region.
Each encounter " with President Hamid Karzai, with Karzai's chief of
staff or with one of Afghanistan's other presidential candidates "
begins the same: They thank him for his honorable service to the people
of Kunar.
Despite
those endorsements, the Pentagon says that Wakil is among 74 former
Guantanamo Bay detainees who've returned to or are suspected of
returning to terrorism after their release from the island prison camp.

legalize pot in California " this time with the pitch that legalizing
and taxing the drug could help solve the state's massive budget deficit.
The
30-second spot, airing Wednesday and paid for by the Marijuana Policy
Project, features a retired 58-year-old state worker who says state
leaders "are ignoring millions of Californians who want to pay taxes."

Dawn Age Reptiles
07-08-2009
•
arclein
Therefore, we can make a hesitant conjecture. These critters may still be extant and functioning in the major global swamps. Locating them will also be a daunting challenge and will take a major effort. Occasional eyewitness reports have been futile to date since these animal are simply too large for capture or even killing when encountered. We are simply never heavily enough armed in the first place and having handling equipment to hand is also unlikely. So far, almost no one has been prepared to believe these reports.
