Let’s put an end to this nonsense of scaring people of the end of the world by "overpopulation". It encourages madcap screwballs to commit murder, and on a larger scale, genocide because of this harebrained lunacy persistently published in
This isn't even suppose to be funny. If I were a child I would see this as a direct threat of death for non-compliance. As an adult I see it as propaganda for a Global Carbon Tax/Control. ("There's a brilliant idea in the air",... and you better agre
Lisa Murkowsi's claim that she only wants to serve Alaskans is one of the themes of her write-in campaign to remain in DC. Reminds of us another who only wanted to serve.

The only way to defeat these bastards is to counter-attack immediately, and mercilessly: don’t let them get away with it for one moment. The very idea of forbidding the building of a mosque, or any religious edifice, is anti-American to the core...
"If Iran eventually acquires a nuclear capability that will be very dangerous, and a direct threat to the allies. That is the reason why I am now proposing a new and effective Nato missile defence system."

Over the last five years the Pentagon and Congress have had numerous opportunities to hold accountable those responsible for the cover-up of Pat Tillman's death. Each time they've failed.

As for Obama's swim, on August 16, the London Independent reported that Obama and his daughter, Sasha, swam in a private Panama City Beach, FL beach off Alligator Point in St. Andrew Bay, not part of the Gulf.
The American herd has gone mad. A few people have regained their senses, but the vast majority still exhibits the behavior of sheep being led to slaughter. The ruling oligarchs have utter contempt for the average American, but they fear the masses.
"The whole purpose of PR is to make stocks go higher. That's what CNBC and many many PR agencies are all about. Yes, they make things look better for a while. Are they really better? No." Propaganda, in other words.
John Reeder over at Marketwi.se warns us that this might be a reason to worry given the mainstream media’s track record of calling booms or busts at exactly the wrong times.
Hmmm… “Five states had to be estimated… including California?” That’s interesting how a real number increase of 22,560 turns into a seasonally adjusted decrease. The week ending July 3 was a full week. It will be interesting to see how they manipulat
The U.S. economy is strengthening but there's still much to be done to put Americans back to work, President Barack Obama said Tuesday after meeting Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke at the White House.
In December 2008, MythBusters hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman took on the myth that says (as they most delicately phrased it) “you can’t polish a turd.” Using techniques borrowed from the ancient Japanese art of dorodungo...
The state of affairs in the Gulf region is on the path to all out chaos and Martial Law. The anarchy may reach levels orders of magnitude higher than that of Katrina.
The only thing worse than the oil flowing out of the GoM gusher, is the BS now openly flowing out of the government propaganda machine, which has jumped the shark beyond all semblance of credibility.
Initial claims at 457k, statistically insignificant compared to expectations 463k, down 19k compared to the prior weekly revised number (476k, from 472k). We expect another upward revision here.

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 was actually an acronym for a much longer name: Uniting and Strengthening Ameri
In their most tenacious effort to control the ‘spin’ on the worst oil spill disaster in the history, BP has purchased top internet search engine words so they can re-direct people away from real news on the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe.
So much for that 700,000 expectation. At 431k, less 411k census, and 31k from temporary help services, it sure doesn't look good even without the 215k birth-death adjustment which only conspiracy theorists look at according to Mr. Liesman...
