Trash the vote
The GOP obviously can't win the election fair and square with their failed
policies, so they do what they always do lie, cheat, and steal Democratic
registration forms and throw them in the trash. This story broke last night
and it just gets weirder as it develops.
This guy was a supervisor of GOP registration drives in swing states. He
got caught throwing only eight forms away and only five of those were of
voters not yet registered with the state. It begins to feel like he
deliberatively got caught in a serious, but essentially petty crime in
order to minimize the extent of the f... more »
Gary Delong-- Global Warming Denier... In Southern California?
Thursday we looked at how hostile to Science-- the engine of all economic
progress-- the Republicans in Congress are. And, of course, like most
reactionary trains of thought, Global Warming deniers are dominant in the
old slave-holding states of the Confederacy. But in Southern California?
Gary Delong, the Republican nominee who beat mainstream Republican Steve
Kuykendall in the primary, roiled the race for the 47th CD congressional
seat (Long Beach, Cypress, Westminster and Garden Grove) by making a
stunning claim that he sees no scientific evidence of Climate Change. Does

5 Biggest Misconceptions About Unschooling

Earth 'too hot for life' after mass extinction 250 million years ago
For five million years after the worst mass extinction in Earth history,
much of the planet was simply too hot for anything to survive, scientists
have claimed.
- Experts say 'broken world' that followed the Permian-Triassic mass
extinction meant no life for five million years in a huge 'dead zone'
- Temperatures in the tropics rose to lethal levels, soaring to 60C on
land and 40C in the sea

Fraudulent Educational Reform in America

“Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.”—William Arthur Ward
What goes on in America’s schools is essentially identical to what goes on

Christopher Halliwell pleads guilty to murdering nightclubber Sian O'Callaghan.....but WON"T be Charged for the murder of Becky Godden-Edwards, who he also Admitted to Killing
The second count of murdering Becky Godden-Edwards, 21, was dropped after
one of the country's leading detectives, Detective Superintendent Stephen
Fulcher, spectacularly disregarded legal requirements on the questioning of
suspects.
It meant Halliwell's confession to Fulcher and the fact he took police to
the exact spot where he had buried Ms Godden-Edwards – who had been missing
since 2003 - could not be used as evidence in court.

Orwell's '1984' Re-visited

Margaret Atwood called George W. Bush, the greatest threat to world peace

Orwell predicted it; his works remain the textbook example of how
governments may manipulate people by first manipulating the language.
If all else fails, a totalitarian regime may make the telling of truth a

defense in a deteriorating security situation. Would sending in a marine

but quite unlikely as neither giant species appears to otherwise have made

* The shadow CIA is waging a war on history. *
"As I pointed out in the preface to *The CIA and the Cult of

Merkel call for 'budget tsar' to control all tax and spending across Europe...How Democratic of her
- German Chancellor said Brussels should have greater control over
national budgets
- She endorsed a proposal for the EU’s monetary affairs commissioner to
become an enforcer of the bloc's budget rules
- Many governments are fiercely opposes to handing control of their
national finances to unelected bureaucrats
- Her demands came as more than 70,000 anti-austerity protesters took to
the streets of Athens as part of a general strike
- Treasury office said German proposals only related to eurozone

Freeze! Or the guide dog gets it! How could any police office (in broad daylight) confuse a white stick with a samurai sword?
According to the officer involved, he mistook Colin Farmer’s white stick
for a samurai sword. As you do. It’s the kind of mistake anyone could make.
So when the 61-year-old stroke victim ignored an instruction to stop, the
cop pumped 50,000 volts into him.

Caroline Coyne Murder: 'We're not a taxi service': What police told woman, 28, who begged them for lift home an hour before predator beat her to death
Caroline Coyne (right), 28, asked two special constables to drive her

in their car after leaving a family party on foot and apparently
becoming
disorientated - but they said they were 'not a taxi service'. The police
officers suggested the mother-of-two should call a cab, but she walked

been jailed for life at Nottingham Crown Court.

Why The Nobel Peace Prize For The EU Is Flawed...... just like the EU itself
If the EU keeps on pushing for more centralized powers to be put in its own

kinds of conflict and dissension. Not exactly Alfred Nobel's intention for
