The Republican Party: Come For The Misogyny. Stay For The Racism!
*-by Noah*
First, let's get one thing straight. If you are a Republican and you object
to me posting this fine piece by comedian Andy Borowitz, why don't you take
some time off from emailing each other pictures that feature the trifecta
of nooses, watermelons, and the President Of The United States, and, while
you're at it, stop your voter intimidation efforts and stop tearing up
voter registration forms, and, also, why don't you stop your stark-raving
mad parroting of the insanity of FOX, CNN, Glenn Beck and the rest of their
ilk for just 2 minutes out of your busy hate-filled pa... more »
More Real History Revealed: Video: Hitler's War -What The Historians Neglect To Mention!
As a true student of true history, and not the bull crap that our failed
education system has tried to brainwash all of us for centuries, I am
always looking for factual information that I want to share with everyone
that reads this blog.
I have always been intrigued by the major wars in the last
century...Especially World War II. I remember for decades how I would
read that Adolf Hitler was the "most evil man" that ever lived, and that he
launched the German nation into war by his want for "world conquest".
Now, after researching into real historical facts and evidence, I find... more »

ALEC - $400 Dinners for Your Legislator????
First some history.
When the American Legislative Exchange Council holds their annual meeting,
on one night of the meeting they hold a “States Night”. You see, your
state legislators don’t get to see enough of each other while they are IN
YOUR STATE, so ALEC makes sure that the lobbyists get a chance to get
together with your state legislators for a “special event”, their own
special event.
Each state has their OWN event! That is important to know for what is
coming up.

Fifth, turned left on Fremont Street and headed toward a vacant lot next to

McMahon's WWE has taken $36.7 million in Connecticut subsidies
U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)
has received $36.7 million in Connecticut film tax credits in 20 separate
deals since 2006, reports CTPost.com (thanks to Karin Richmond on the
LinkedIn Public Incentives Forum). As in many states, what historically
began as tax credits for motion pictures are now available for TV and
online media as well, and it is in these two latter categories that the WWE
received its subsidies. Also as is typical of other states, the Connecticut

CA Kicking ALEC Out 4 VOIP De-Regulation
A new poll of likely voters in California shows that voters are tired of

Alex Salmond: Enemy of Scotland
The United Kingdom was formed three centuries ago by the union of Scotland
with England (including Cymru and Kernow). The UK has changed since its
creation, with the temporary addition of Ireland and the subsequent
restoration of independence to most of that country. The relationship
between England and Wales has always been one of occupier to occupied, and
so the demand for transfer of powers from London to Cardiff was all but
inevitable. However, the union of Scotland and England was a union of
equals - or at least that is how it was supposed to be.

When former Bush state secretary and former US chairman of the joint chiefs
Colin Powell endorsed Obama for a second term as president, he gave clear
