Because, if true, this is a huge deal, I am reposting this report - Satellite Photos Support Testimony That Iraqi WMD Went to Syria

Personally, this is a good thing. When people (black or white) get to choose where to send their children, the kids get a better education and the educational system learns where its weak links are. 'Black flight' changing the makeup of Dallas schools

GENERAL BAD BEHAVIOR


British Petroleum and Walmart Want You to Pay their Bills

Time to set Amtrak free. When I lived in Manhattan, I used Amtrak all the time but when I price them out compared to airlines, Amtrak always loses. Shame. Definately need privately run train systems on dedicated tracks - especially to free more track for environmentally friendly freight trains.

I'm sure there's a very good reason - From the oil spill to the financial crisis, why we don't plan for the worst

The "kids" are not all right. OBAMACARE POLLING BADLY IN MICHIGAN
And this is interesting: “Young people ages 18-29 were more against the changes than any other age group, with 69% opposed.”

My view of the EPA is very similar to the one espoused in Ghostbusters. Always seemed like a pretty accurate portrayal to me. Senate fight over EPA resolution to highlight first week after recess

The state is insolvent and this is what they do?!? Calif. moves to ban plastic bags at grocery stores The thing of it is, I'm willing to bet that a lot of those "reusable" grocery bags where made in Chinese sweatshops not renown for their environmental awareness.

Hot Men 2010: The Hottest Conservative Men Scroll down past the judges to get to the "good stuff". #1 Adam Baldwin (aka Jayne) So. Totally. Hot. But why is the dreamy Stephen Green #20? And Alfonzo Rachel should be higher up and with a better pic. He's a cutie pie. Apostle Claver is cute but #9 Steven Crowder is a bit too loud for me although I like many of his PJTV Videos and that he has humbly described his own mug as "punchable". Finally, I concur with big man Christie making the list but surely Micheal Yon should be way higher up. His bravery alone merits it.

  1. "aka Jayne" omg, did you watch Firefly, too? I loved that show (have it on DVD and rewatch occasionally, that "hero of Canton" ep is one of my favorites).

  2. I LOVE FIREFLY. Nathan Fillion is HOT. So is Adam, of course. I follow both on twitter. Although I love that episode, my favorite is "Out of Gas". Of course, I've been following Joss Wheadon's work for years and years. I even saw the Buffy in the movie theater with the badly cast PeeWee Herman. Joss is an astonishing writer whom I rank with Shakespeare and Austen for his ability to describe characters with their voices and use of language. You can close your eyes and listen to a Wheadon character speak and know everything about his socio-economic background and world view. Brilliant. Jayne was a great character too. So yup. Put on your browncoat and remember - You can't stop the signal!
